There's no place to add credit for energy efficient windows (form 5695) even though these credits were extended through 2017. When will TurboTax update this section?

Form 5695 (and others) were extended for 2017 by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 signed on February 9, 2018.

TurboTax will update its tax program as soon as the IRS updates the forms. The IRS has not yet updated the forms in which these deductions are taken.

Two options: Wait to file until the IRS updates the new form (but file before the due date of the return), or file now without the deduction/credit and amend later when the form is updated. 

I recommend waiting a little longer to avoid the hassle of an amending.
