software for 5695 is still not correct even after updated

per form 5695 of  2023, I have installed new insulation (credit $1200); and new AC (credit $600), Furnace (credit $600) . So total should be $2400. But no matter how to enter, the software ONLY give me $1200. 

can I enter the number manually?
