Question

What do I enter in the Solar electric costs box if I am paying for my solar panels monthly?

We installed solar panels in 2024 so I'd like to take advantage of the tax credit, but like most, we pay for these monthly and didn't buy them outright. How do I enter this into Turbotax correctly?
