Where do I enter home improvements?

Menu Path: Deductions/Credits > Common Deductions/Credits > Home Energy Credit

Enter home improvement costs related to the following on the Home Energy Credit screens:

• Qualified solar electric property
• Qualified solar water heating property
• Qualified small wind energy property
• Qualified geothermal heat pump property
• Qualified battery storage technology
• Qualified fuel cell property
• Insulation material or air sealing material or systems
• Energy Star program exterior doors
• Energy Star program exterior windows or skylights
• Central air conditioners
• Natural gas, propane, or oil water heaters
• Natural gas, propane, or oil furnace or hot water boilers
• Improvements or replacement of panelboards, subpanelboards, branch circuits, or feeders
• Electric or natural gas heat pumps and heat pump water heaters

Other home improvements aren't generally deducted on your tax return; they just increase the cost basis of your home.
