Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In this specific instance, your tax liability would be reduced by the $7,500 credit.  If the liability was $24,000, it would be reduced by $7,500 down to $16,500.  You would then subtract the amount of tax withholding you had for the year to get the actual result of refund/balance on your tax return.  The $7,500 would not be a separate refund.  It will only reduce your tax liability so it very well may result in a refund.
