To enter these credits into TurboTax take the following steps:

If you are not seeing the option to enter the Heat Pump, go back and double check your answers.  If you answered that this was related to the construction of your home or the home was not your primary home or was not in the US, you are not eligible to take the credit so you will not get the page to enter the Heat Pump.
