I can't believe I'm asking this question, but I just have to do it. We installed solar panels on our main residence, but then we sold it in 2018. We moved to a new house in a different state in that same year. We had been taking credits in the past using Form 5695, and I just saw that we have a solar energy credit that carried over into our 2019 tax forms in TurboTax. I was about to delete the form, but then I thought I would check the instructions to see if there was any reason it could carryover to future years with the original owner, even they do not still own the residence. (I tend to take things very literally, and the instructions do not address this.) Can we take a credit in the year after the house sale, or did we lose the balance of the credit that was carried over?
Thank you for your help in understanding this better
