User found discrepancies when amending their tax return for home energy credits and suggests TurboTax should improve the interface to make it clearer which method to use for amending returns.
Hi, I just realized I could have claimed home energy credits for 2024. I downloaded TurboTax 2024 that I used at the time. I found that: 1. if I start a new amend without opening my 2024 tax return, and filling all the costs, TurboTax says the credit is $0 but there's a $926 carryover. 2. However, if I open my 2024 tax return and added the costs, my tax due is reduced by $3,526. Can anyone help me under which is the right way to amend? 1. seems to be the answer per TurboTax website. If that's case, does that mean I need to amend my 2025 tax return instead using the $926 carryover? Thanks in advance!
