It does make sense.  But you can't delete it.   You nailed it the first time.  No skipping years.

 

The credit carries forward from year to year.  If you use it next year the IRS will look at your prior year return to find the credit.  And, if you were able to use any of it this year and don't and then use that in a future year it will be a no-no.

 

If you want to keep the credit leave the form alone.
