Turbotax appears to be giving me a Residential Clean Energy Credit of 60% for a solar battery I installed in 2025, while all I've read say it should be 30%. Any ideas?

Total cost of install was $16,000, Turbotax is giving me a tax credit of $9600.

It sounds as though you entered $16,000 twice. Did you enter it in both Battery storage and Fuel Cell property? If so, you will need to delete the one entry and this will give you the proper credit.

Thanks, that was the answer. I had inadvertently entered it both as a battery and a fuel cell.
