A heat pump does not require a QMID. The electric service is only includable if it was necessary for the installation of the heat pump, it also does not need a QMID.
So far, the databases for the QMIDs are pretty skimpy. I installed a Siemens panel, and upgraded breakers on an existing GE panel. So, to satisfy the QMID requirement, I used the GE code Z0T6. Hopefully, that's an "umbrella" code for any applicable GE product. I reached out to Siemens via email, but the response was a dive down a black hole. Siemens is a huge company, and getting the right person for the answer is a challenge. Possibly, as we approach the filing deadline, there will be many more manufacturers listed. Gotta love Congress for creating this bureaucratic mess.
I suspect the point of the QMID was to reduce fraudulent claims, and to make sure that legitimate claims actually qualified (for example, I installed a new A/C last summer but it was non-qualifying, for various reasons. Someone with less tax knowledge than me might have tried to claim it. Not to mention salespeople who are misinformed or just lie to their customers.)
If the Reply "A heat pump does not require a QMID." is correct, then why does TT require it?
In the IRS information you will find the a QMID is required.
It would be best to double check with the manufacturer to be sure you have the correct code. Also, check to see if they did register with the IRS here. Qualified Manufacturer
If you confirm all is correct, be sure your TurboTax software is updated with the latest information.
