Thanks, but it still won't let me efile my NY State return because it says "Return Claims a Solar and Wind Energy Credit carryover. I went to the NYSTATE Installed Solar Energy Equipment in 2022 and put 'no', then I went to the Unused Solar Energy Credit Carryover from Prior Years and put 0 in all. I still get the same Return Claims... message.  Please help!  Thanks.
