AMT 2015 ISO 10k 2016 AMT refund only 1k doesn't increase overall return? Why use this at all?

AMT 2015 ISO options say 10,000. I didn't sell these options and I didn't hit AMT this year. When I entered the AMT carryforward I could only get back 1,000 of the 10,000 that paid last year, however this amount didn't change my overall refund?   Can I just carryforward the whole amount as it's not helping increase my refund this year?
