It depends.
If you have a tax liability on your 2019 tax return, the Residential Energy Credit will be used to offset the taxes due.
You can check the amount being used by doing the following:
- In the black panel on the left, select Tax Tools
- Then select Tools below Tax Tools
- Under the Other helpful links section, select View Tax Summary
- Review the line which says Total Tax. If this amount is $0, then you have no tax to offset the credit with.
- Once you are done reviewing this information, click Back on the black panel on the left to get back to the interview screens
If you have any unused credit, you do not lose the remainder of your credit carryforward. It can be carried forward to 2020.
