The federal tax credit for qualified energy-saving home improvements expired in 2016 but on February 9, 2018, Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, averting a government shutdown and providing tax relief for millions of Americans. The Credit for Nonbusiness Energy Property was extended. For additional information, click on Tax relief - The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 - TurboTax Support

 

Credit for Nonbusiness Energy Property – Homeowners who made energy efficient improvements to their homes like energy-saving roofs, windows, skylights, and doors will still be able to claim the Nonbusiness Energy Property credit for 10 percent of amounts paid for qualified energy efficiency improvements and 100 percent of amounts paid for qualified energy property like high-efficiency water heaters, air conditioning units, and furnaces for taxpayer’s principal residence.

 

 

These are entered in Deductions & Credits:

 

  1. Open your return, if you don't already have it open.
  2. In TurboTax, search for energy improvements. (Do not search for "energy credit," as this will take you to the wrong place in the program.)
  3. Click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  4. At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes and continue. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip:  You can see which energy-saving home improvements qualify for a federal tax credit at the Energy Star website.

There is no place for air conditioning to fill out.

The box labeled Energy-Efficient Building Property is where you would enter the cost of a qualified central air conditioner.  

 

Use these steps to go back to the home energy credit section:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “home energy improvement” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to home energy improvement
  • Click on the blue “Jump to home energy improvement” link and enter your information
