The form 5695 is not calculating and giving any credits for 2018.

This huge informational section on the Form 5695 didn't show up in your program?

Maybe they should put that notice in braille so everybody can "see" it

What credit on there are you claiming?

rick-ameritax · ‎12-06-2019

RESIDENTIAL ENERGY CREDIT FOR NEW FURNACE, WINDOWS, ETC UP TO $500.

Those, as of now, are not renewed. There are rumblings that they may be but nothing in the wind that I know of.

IRonMaN · ‎12-06-2019

That's odd that the software doesn't provide some kind of message about that

So it gets a little cold and everyone starts asking about energy credits?

The non-business energy credit has been reinstated back to 12/31/17 yet the 2018 Professional software does not calculate credit. As per IRS instructions for 5695:

Nonbusiness energy property credit is available for 2018 and 2019. ... You may also now claim the credit for 2018 if you meet the criteria for that year, but most taxpayers will need to file their 2018 Form 5695 with an amended return (Form 1040-X) to claim the credit for 2018.

Talked with support today and they don't know anything. Anyone have any incite?
