Deductions & credits

If there was no carryover on that line....then perhaps there was no carryover allowed for whatever reason.

Like, did you even attempt to enter your energy costs/credits for 2022?

 

You might have to go thru your 2022 taxes again by amending a second copy of it (don't touch the original), to see if it changes anything.  IF it does, that should result in a larger refund, or if it doesn't  give you a greater refund because you had a zero tax liability last year, then line 16 would be filled in with the proper amount that carries over.   You could then mail in your amended federal forms for 2022, and claim the carryover this year (2023)....but you have to attempt to use it for 2002 taxes first.

 

But there's no way we can guess with any certainty, the reason why there was no carryover for your 2022 file, as we can't see what your entire situation was last year.

 

At least that's my take on your situation.
