Deductions & credits
Taking a closer look at your return, like many others the tentative minimum tax calculation is causing the Form 8911 credit to be disallowed.
Without giving any specific numbers from your return, Form 8911 line 17 is about $16000 greater than line 16. Therefore, the credit is disallowed due to the tentative minimum tax. (It also appears that you are still working on certain sections of your return, so the difference in line 16 and 17 many change, but probably not enough to allow the credit on Form 8911).
To answer your other question, the EV charger credit must be claimed in the year the equipment is installed and it does not carryover to a future tax year if it cannot be claimed due to the AMT calculation. You simply lose the opportunity to claim the credit.
Even though Form 8911 will not be included as part of your tax return because the credit is disallowed, you should be able to specify Form 8911 to be printed or previewed from the Print Center using TurboTax Online to take a look at the details.
