This is a non-refundable credit and can not be used if you have no tax liability.
You can check to be sure that is what is happening by viewing your Tax Summary. Here is how to do that:
Log in to your tax return at TurboTax.com.
- Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen (you may need to click on Continue in the center first).
- Click on Tools.
- In the box that pops up in the center, click on View Tax Summary.
If you see a 0 for Total Tax, then that is the reason you don't qualify for this particular credit.
