    1. Upon opening TurboTax, choose Deductions & Credits
    2. Locate Your Home 
    3. Start/Revisit Home Energy Credits
    4. On the Energy Efficient Home Improvements screen, select Yes then Continue. 
    5. Answer the next few questions until you get to Did you have any of these qualified energy efficiency improvements in 2024?  Insulation material or air sealing system is listed here.  Select Yes and continue.
    6. Make sure you enter the total cost and answer the questions about ownership and location of the home.
