I’m a little fuzzy on the this. If we get a refund yearly how can we benefit with an energy tax credit? Do we get the entire 30% of a photovoltaic system?

Much like the question on January 29th- ” I installed energy efficient windows in 2009. Why does my Deluxe Turbo tax say that windows are not eligible for the energy efficient discount?”

I have the Home and Business version. I know the windows that I installed qualify. TurboTax says exterior windows do not qualify. Help!

I see the same thing – nowhere to claim this credit in TurboTax. Specifically, I have a High Efficiency Hot Water Heater that was installed mid-year and it absolutely/positively was credit-eligible then thru now – where is the exact input in TurboTax located????

TurboTax Home & Business 2008 software will not allow a tax credit for a new qualifying, energy star approved natural gas heating system. The software will only allow tax credits for solar, wind, geothermal and fuel cells. Is this correct??

I have the same question a Krystin: Where do I find a place for an approved high efficiency gas furnace improvement?

I see the section for blower motors, but not the furnace itself.

I suspect a bug in the TurboTax software is preventing us from downloading the tax form for energy tax credit on high efficiency central air and heating systems installed in 2009. Intuit has been claiming for 3 months now that the IRS has not released this form. Not true.

When I get to the Energy Credit part of Turbo Tax, all it refers to is the solar,wind and geothermal improvements. Where would I find a place for an approved high efficiency gas furnace improvement?

I was having the same problem, but after doing a check for updates it lets me enter for this credit for energy efficient windows.

Larry C and Nick,

This article should help explain whether the windows you put in qualify for the credit http://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/home-ownership/7128.html

Which versions of TurboTax will be equipped to handle this tax credit? I made invested in energy efficiency in my home this year, and would like to be sure I get some money back as a result.
