Again, sincerely appreciate, your advise and opinions. As you mentioned, SC does apply credit going forward, but only max at $3,5K per year up to the point of $10,160 (max) according the SC credit section calculation. On the fed taxes side, it was maxed at +12K or so. As you mentioned," yes", I do agree that $48.xx was 1/2 of you my tax lability in 2017. But, in my opinion, the glitch was in the Turbo Tax software not calculating the proper credit for the customer. In short, I do believe, that I can get solar energy credit as a carry over because I never actually received the total amount of credit within the 10 yr period.
As you mentioned, "Why didn't you receive the tax credit in 2018? Was it not entered or did you not have enough assessed tax in 2018 either?" the reason I didn't receive the tax credit in 2018, was due to the Turbo Tax software glitch or software error in the calculation process. So, to some degree, the Turbo software did NOT enter the appropriate amount or calculation to receive max amount of credit for me, the customer. BillM223, I sincerely appreciate your guidance and advise. At 70, it's some times difficult to get answers, to some of these tax questions. Thank you so much, have a great day, be safe, take care, :} stay home if possible, (mask, wash hands etc... ) God Bless you and your family. Al
