Deductions & credits

No, unfortunately, the IRS says, "If you cannot use part of the personal portion of the credit because of the tax liability limit, the unused credit is lost." See the Instructions for Form 8936, line 23.

 

Unless you discover some income that you didn't claim for 2019 and file or amend your return to claim the unreported income, there is nothing you can do.

 

Not all credits can be carried over.
