Yes, if you added qualifying energy-efficient doors and windows to an addition on your existing home, you may be able to claim the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit. You'll enter the cost of the doors and windows under Tell Us How Much You Paid for Energy-Saving Improvements. (Click the screenshot below for reference.)
To enter your energy-efficient doors and windows:
- Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll
need to sign in, click Take me to my return, then click Pick up where I left
off.)
- Click My Account (top right of your screen).
- Select Tools.
- In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
- In the search bar, type 5695.
- In the results box, highlight 5695, residential energy credit, then click GO.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to complete this section. After you enter the cost of your doors and windows and answer the corresponding questions, TurboTax will determine if you qualify for a Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit.
Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
The Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit has a lifetime total combined limit of $500 ($200 of which may be for windows). If you claimed the credit in a prior year, your 2016 deduction may be reduced. See IRS Instructions for Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits for more information.
