Theres a checkbox right at the very top of the form that asks something about that...you might want to check that box then hit the yellow ? button and see what the instructions say.

I checked the box on the top of form 5695, but don't see the yellow ? button as you mentioned.

BTW, for example the total cost of insulation material they paid $7,000. Do I enter $7,000 or $3,500 for each person and click "QuickZoom" in the qualified energy efficiency improvements smart worksheet to get the costs allocated to taxpayer (d) ? Thanks

The yellow question mark is on the top toolbar, or you can also RIGHT click in that box and choose About Joint Occupancy, but I dont think the program will split the dollars for you, Id guess you have to enter their % of the improvement.....that box just tells IRS there will be 2 returns with the same property address.
