I was able to qualify for it just now. From what I read elsewhere, if you already owe $0 in federal taxes, chances are you won't get it. But if you do owe federal, then you'll qualify for it, and the balance of the credit will go toward lowering what you owe federally. I found a mistake in my earlier filings, fixed it, and was able to qualify.
