Deductions & credits
Your credit is not applying because it is a non-refundable credit. That means that it can only reduce your tax to zero. Once it has done that the rest gets carried forward into the next year.
In your case the tax bill that you had was around $700. Once it reduces that to zero the rest gets moved into next year. It can't be added to your refund.
