Energy credit for a new home?

We built a new house in 2023. We paid extra for a heat pump. Can we amend our 2023 return to take advantage of the tax credit?

Hey Sparsile. Thank you for joining our live event today for questions. According to the Energy Star website and federal credit it states the credit cannot be take for a new build.
"You may claim the energy efficient home improvement credit for improvements to your main home (where you live most of the time). Your home must be in the U.S., and it must be an existing home that you improve or add onto. This credit does not apply to a newly built home."
