Please help with arizona solar tax credit for 2025

[jawckey]

I am using Turbo Tax Premium 2024 to get gut feel for taxes for 2025. It would not be accurate and not perfect but somewhat ballpark is fine.

I have deployed a solar in 2025 for about $20,312. TTax correctly projected a federal tax deduction of $6,094 and my Federal tax did get shown decreased by that amount from what it was before I added solar expense. Since I live in Arizona, I am supposed to also receive the maximum state tax credit of 1,000. However my state tax didn't change from what it was before I added solar credit. I tried to cycle through menus of state tax side just to see if it updates but it didn't? All I did to enter the solar cost is on the Federal deductions' home section.

- How do I make Ttax consider state tax deduction also?

- Is there any where I need to enter something?

Please help.

Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program?   How are you estimating 2025?  You should NOT be in or use your actual 2024 return or you will overwrite it and then 2024 will be saved wrong and transfer into 2025 next year wrong.

I am using desktop version, and created a brand new tax return. So my real 2024 return is safe.

So are you saying 1,.000 state refund must have shown with what I did and I don't have to do anything more?

I wasn't answering your question about AZ.   All I know is after you enter it on the federal side you need to click on the State tab to start state over and go though the state screens again for state to update, which it sounds like you did.  So I can't help you with AZ.
