Solar Home Energy Credit Carryforward Not Working

[machan]

I have a home energy credit carryforward of $651 for solar panels. When I get to the page where it asks if I have a carryforward the $651 is showing and says "congrats, you have a carryforward of $651." However, when it returns to the deductions page my tax break for home energy credit is listed as $0. Please advise

Yes, the Deductions & Credits summary shows $0 if your only Energy Credit is a 2022 carryover. The summary only shows a new 2023 Energy Credit.

That doesn't mean you aren't getting the credit carryover. The credit carryover is shown on line 5a of Schedule 3.

You can preview your return to see the figure:

1. Open your return.
2. Select Tax Tools from the left-side menu, then Tools.
3. Select View Tax Summary in the pop up box.
4. Select Preview my 1040 from the left-side menu.
5. You will see the Form 1040 with Schedules 1, 2 and 3.
6. When you are done, select Back from the left-side menu.
