Smart thermostats are not eligible for the energy credit. See Can I claim energy-efficient appliances or energy-saving home improvements?
You may be able to claim it under your home office. Repairs are deducted, where as improvements are depreciated.
These are entered in the Deductions & Credits section:
- Open your return, if you don't already have it open.
- In TurboTax, search for energy improvements. (Do not search for "energy credit," as this will take you to the wrong place in the program.)
- Click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
- At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes and continue. Follow the on-screen instructions.
