You are correct, this is a non-refundable credit that can reduce your tax liability but should not increase a refund. To be sure what is happening in your return, I recommend to view the return after you pay and before you file but right now, you can preview Form 1040 and Schedules 1, 2, and 3, if they are included in the return.
You can preview the information on your 1040 form by clicking on Tax Tools, on the left
- Select Tools
- Then select View Tax Summary, first on the list under Helpful Links. This will show basic information about the return.
- In the upper left-hand area, in the menu, click on Preview My 1040
- This will show a picture of the information on the tax form and there is a vertical scroll bar on the right-hand side, to scroll down the return.
The tax credits will be toward the bottom in Schedule 3, so you can check that the Solar credit is in the top section with the other non-refundable credits and also if there are other tax credits impacting your refund from the refundable section at the bottom.
