Yes.  If you bought or built a home in 2023 and then installed solar property on your home, you will be able to claim the Residential Energy Credit using TurboTax.  

 

The Residential Energy Credit is a non-refundable credit, however this one can be carried forward to future tax years until this credit goes away which is currently set to happen in 2034

This credit is worth up to 30% of the cost of the equipment, with no maximum limit.  The items that fall into this category are as follows:

  • Geothermal Heat Pumps
  • Small Wind Turbines
  • Solar Energy Systems
  • Fuel Cells
  • Battery Storage Technology

This credit can be taken for new construction

 

To enter these credits into TurboTax take the following steps:

  • Federal
  • Deductions and Credits
  • I'll Choose what I work on
  • Home Energy Credits which is under the "Your Home" category
