Tax Year Prior to 2020: Where do I put the Residential Energy Credits and Donations?

[KarenL2]

Please see below for instructions:

ENERGY CREDITS

These are entered in the Deductions & Credits section:

• With your return open, search for energy improvements in the program search box. (Don't search for "energy credit," as this will take you to the wrong place in the program.)
• Click Jump to energy improvements in the search results.
• At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes and click Continue.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

If that doesn't work:  Go directly to the Federal Taxes tab, then Deductions & Credits, then Your Home, then scroll to Home Energy Credits.

CHARITABLE DONATIONS

While inside the software and working on your return, type charitable donation in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to charitable donation .  Select that link. 

Alternatively, you can go to the Deductions & Credits tab, then Charitable Donations.
