Form 5695 Error - Joint Occupancy

The IRS website now lists this as not being resolved until 3/23/2025 due to schema issue. 

 

Even though I paid for the entire solar install, I don't think its correct to uncheck that box because I do share ownership of the home. I guess I just have to wait?

You are correct. The IRS website does show this as not being resolved until 3/23/25.  Complete the forms correctly to ensure your credit is reported accurately.

I recommend waiting until a few days after that date to ensure all updates are loaded into the program so your return is filed correctly. If you are using TurboTax Desktop, make sure you update your program before proceeding to ensure all updates have been implemented. 

 

This can be done by logging into your desktop product.  Select Online in the menu on the top, and then select Check for Updates.

 

 

If that does not update your program, you can also manually update your program.
