Where can I enter information to get a deduction on a biomass stove?

I'm not finding anything regarding this in the TurboTax interview. Am I able to claim biomass stoves and some other energy efficient appliances that I purchased last year?

You are allowed a federal tax credit for biomass stoves and some other qualified energy-saving home improvements. You can see other qualified energy-efficient appliances here Can I claim energy-efficient appliances or energy-saving home improvements?

 

The things you are not allowed to claim are Energy Star appliances or water-saving improvements such as the low-flow toilets, low-flow shower-heads, or xeriscaping on your federal return.

 

This link will direct you to where to enter your biomass stove and other qualified appliances in the TurboTax software Where do I enter qualified energy-saving improvements?

 

Let me know if you have more questions!

Thank you so much @AndreaC1. This information helps a lot. I had no idea we could deduct the non-solar water heaters along with the solar ones. Every little bit helps.
