I own a trailer that is in park where I pay lot rent. I installed solar panels, can I claim energy credit?

[HelenaC · Accepted solution]

Yes, if this is your residence or second residence. The credit is only available for improvements you make to your residence and applies to a second residence as well. See Federal Tax Credit for Solar Energy.

To add this form to your tax return:

1. Open (continue) your return if you don't already have it open.
2. Inside TurboTax, search for this exact phrase including the comma and spaces: 5695, residential energy credit
3. Select the Jump to link in your search results.
4. At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes, then select Continue.
