Deductions & credits

The solar credit would reduce your tax liability by the amount of the credit.  As long as your total tax liability is less than the credit amount, then you could receive a refund if you had Federal tax withheld from your wages or if you qualified for a refundable tax credit.  Any unused credit can also be carried forward.

 

There would not be an effect on your state return with regard to the Federal solar energy credit.
