I qualify for a Federal Residential Energy Tax Credit but Turbotax has not completed the IRS Form 5695  as of yet.  I filed my return to at least receive my State Income tax return which amounts to several hundred dollars.  I have request that Turbotax send me the Form 5695 whenever it becomes available.  Will I be able to amend and refile my return with the updated information?  My credit amounts to $350 which I would like to receive this year if possible.  Please RSVP!

If you can wait, that may be a better option then filing an amended tax return (1040-X).  The tentative date for Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) is 1/29/2020.  

 

A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the income tax you owe. For example, if you owe $1,000 in federal taxes but are eligible for a $1,000 tax credit, your net liability drops to zero.
