Bug Report: Form 5695 QMID validation error for Weil-McLain

[ltbailey0]

I am trying to enter my energy-efficient boiler information on Form 5695. The software requires a "Qualified Manufacturer ID" (QMID). The official IRS-registered code for Weil-McLain is 46H2.

However, TurboTax is blocking the entry with a validation error stating the format must be "Letter-Number-Letter-Number." Because 46H2 starts with a number, the software will not allow me to proceed. This is a legitimate IRS code from the manufacturer's certification statement. How can I bypass this formatting rule to file my return accurately?

Or can Turbotax fix this on their end

I entered QMID I7Q6 and I received a validation error also.

Hopefully, a fix will be found in the near future.

Just went to my test online tax return and for the Home Energy Credits, entered QMID code I7O6 without any issues.  Received an energy credit 

QMID code breakdown-

The letter capital I

The number 7

The letter capital O

The number 6

I use the desktop version.  Also, it is a Q and not a O.

Thanks for your help.

Changed the O to a Q and still received the credit using the online editions

The Form 5695 for the 2025 TurboTax desktop editions has not been finalized.  It should be available sometime during the week, probably on Thursday, 01/29/2026
