I know that starting in 2023, we can claim qualified battery storage technology under the residential clean energy credit. My question has to do with TurboTax software. When using the online Premier version, they do not have an option for the new 2023 battery storage technology. They have options to select from for solar electric panels, solar water heaters, geothermal heat pumps, fuel cells, but not the new battery storage technology. How/where do I input this in TurboTax to include this figure as part of my taxes?

Tried to enter my battery storage today (after the 1/10 update) and it still does not work.

The 5695 form has the line item 5a & 5b but the worksheet and guide does not have the question to populate it.

When I manually enter it into 5a, 5b, it does not allow me to populate 6a (lines 1-5 added together) to add it to my return.
