Question
Solar Energy Credit Form 5695
Client purchased solar panels in 2022 in the amount of $78,819 and I've filled out the form 5695 and it appears to be flowing to schedule 3 and it flows to the 1040 but it is not being deducted from the tax liability.
All forms and software are up to date. If I replace the amount of $78,819 with $0, nothing changes. The client still owes the same amount. It appears as though they are not receiving this credit. They owe the IRS $2,500 and this credit of $3,593 is not being applied anywhere that I can see.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? They have a Schedule C in the return as well as W2s. Would that be causing this? Does the solar energy credit not apply to Self Employment income?
