No, it was not passed yet. If it is passed you will be notified as long as you entered your expenses under the property credit.  TurboTax will then send you a notification and instructions on your next steps if it is passed.

The Credit is not refundable and is limited to $500.  The renewable energy portion of the credit can be carried forward to next year if you do not have enough tax liability to take it all this year.
