Has anyone else noticed that form 5695 for Residential Energy Credits says its final/ready for e-file, yet will not calculate credit amount?

Form 5695 is not calculating figures based on the inputted amounts.  It is my understanding that under the new legislation, this has been extended through 2018.  The form says final/e-file ready, but will just not compute in 2018 Proseries Basic Edition.  Please advise.

If youre referring to Page 2 of the 5695...see picture, does that help explain it?

Very few of the credits apply to 2018...which one are you specifically trying to claim? 

And please post a link to that new legislation you've read/heard about, thanks.

After looking into it, I realize that I was looking at the extension through 2021 for section 1, and not section 2.  There is no legislation currently that addresses section 2.  Thank you.
