Turbo Tax gives some credits to look through, but solar tax rebate is not appearing by default for the state return.

Which state return are you filing? You can check your state tax website or DSIREUSA.org national database of state solar energy incentive programs.

 

Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) is used to calculate tax credits for energy efficient improvements and alternative energy equipment.

To claim the credit on your federal return:

  1. Open or continue your return
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for this exact phrase including the comma and spaces: 5695, residential energy credit
  3. Select the Jump to link in your search results
  4. At the bottom of the Energy-Saving Home Improvements screen, answer Yes, then select Continue
  5. Follow the instructions to enter your energy-saving improvement costs
