    Form 3468

    How do I get the 30% credit to populate in Form 3468, Section VI, part B, line 3b?  A client is telling me the solar energy property he installed at his rental qualifies for the 30% credit under IRC sec. 48(a)(3)(A)(i) but that Lacerte is mapping all 2025 solar property into sec. 48E and applying the construction-begin rule.  Is there a way to override the percentage in the software?

    The client is telling you?  Or it DOES qualify?  Those are often two very different things.

    Was the construction started in 2024?  That is a requirement for the §48 solar credit.  If it didn't start until 2025, then it is the §48E or §45Y credit.

    If constructions did begin in 2024, the last I heard ProSeries was having that problem and wouldn't allow the §48 credit.  I'm not sure if Lacerte has the same problem or not.
