Form 5695 worksheet does not have areas to input for lines 18-20

You cannot enter an amount directly on Lines 18 - 20 on the Form 5695 in Forms mode. You must enter your costs for the insulation, doors or windows in the TurboTax interview using Step-by-Step.

To enter Home Energy Credits -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Deductions and Credit
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Under Your Home
On Home Energy Credits, click the start or update button

That's the problem, TT does not have that option. It keeps giving me error:

Form 5695 : A - Windows and skylights is selected but no entry present.

There is no way to correct error other than inputting directly on form 5695.

@DonC6306 What do you mean TurboTax does not have that option?

After selecting Home Energy Credits, you go through several screens asking about your home and what type of energy efficient product you purchased and installed on your home.

On the screen labeled Tell us how much you paid for the energy-efficient improvements, you enter the amount paid for windows under the section Exterior windows (including skylights)
