Under Deductions and Credits it says that "some electric heat pumps qualify for an energy credit" but I do not see where I can enter that information.

    I understand where to go on the deduction (Home Energy Credits )page but the election for electric heat pump is not there! Geo thermal and natural gas are the only selections I can make. I'm not even sure if mine qualifies but I have nowhere to enter it if it did.

    If your electric heat pump qualifies for an energy credit, you can enter it in the Home Energy Credits section of TurboTax.

    • While signed in and working in TurboTax
    • Click on Federal in the left-hand black menu
    • Click on Deductions and Credits
    • Scroll down and click on Show More next to Your Home
    • Click on Start or Revisit next to Home Energy Credits

    Geothermal heat pumps and electric heat pumps approved by Energy Starr are eligible for credits.

    I replaced my electric A/C with a Goodman Heat Pump in 2020.  Is that deductible?

    Maybe.  If your heat pump meets these standards per the manufacturer documents.

     

    An electric heat pump that achieves the highest efficiency tier established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) in effect on January 1, 2009.

     

    Here is a link with 2009 CEE highest efficiency tiers.
