New York return. TurboTax Home and Business. Windows 10.

Reason for E-file ineligibility:

Return claims a Solar and Wind Energy Credit Carryover

This is an error and needs to be removed from my return. HOW did it even get there? HOW do I remove it so I may file?

I do not own a home. I do not have solar or wind power. I never had a credit carryover. Where did this come from?

TurboTax Home & Biz Windows

Found it.

The thing lives in the STATE return.

The tax/credit worksheet.

Part I, Section B, Line 26

make it BLANK. Mine had a zero printed on it.

After I deleted the 0, I rechecked my files and BAM!

Ready to submit without error.

You can delete this input in the federal interview section.

Select the Personal tab
Select Deductions & Credits
Select Start to the right of Home Energy Credits
The next page will be titled Energy-Saving Home Improvements
Scroll down to the bottom of this page. Under the question that says Did you make energy-saving improvements in 2019 or have a carryforward from 2018, select NO.
This should remove the energy credit from your return.

Thanks for the suggestion. Followed your instructions. New York form is still not allowing e-file for the claim I did not make.

exact same reason after following your input:

Return claims a Solar and Wind Energy Credit Carryover.

Maybe-- It must be a line or a thing or a form or some error inside the state form. Somewhere in that convoluted jargon is a tick box or a line entry or some invisible code demon.

I feel the error is in the state file, because you said editing the federal form will fix the state, but it did not.

If what you described was the correct answer, possibly the state file never learned I updated my fed file. I'm frustratingly lost on this.

I might waste another day tomorrow and start over from the very very beginning, and forget all day today "taxing" never happened.

Hello. I'm also getting the same thing stared above. I went through everything and it appears to have nothing in the boxes. I'm not sure how to fix this.
