Does Turbo Tax 2023 support entering energy tax credits (solar, storage batteries) for a recreational vehicle?

I tried entering the cost for solar battery storage but it requires that I enter an address for the home.  Since this is for an RV, there is no permanent address.  Should I use my home address?

Thanks Amy.  That's what I thought.

 

How do I go about entering this into Turbo Tax?  As stated, when I tried to enter this under Home Energy Credits in the Your Home deduction section, Turbo Tax required that I enter an address for the residence.  

 

Is this the right place?  If yes, what address do I enter?

If not, please let me know how I can go about entering this info.

Thanks again Amy, Paul

Yes. since your RV has no permanent address but does qualify.

 

 Energystar states under battery storage:

 

The home served by this system does not have to be the taxpayer's principal residence. A principal residence is the home where you live most of the time. The home must be in the United States. It can include a house, houseboat, mobile home, cooperative apartment, condominium, and a manufactured home.

Yes, you are in the correct place in the tax return.  Use your home address to claim the credit.
