DoninGA answered your question in terms of the Federal tax credit. However, since you posted this question in the State Tax Filing forum, I have to wonder if you actually had a specific state in mind. If you did, then please reply with the state in question and any other information.
I did not realize I was posting in the state forum...but I'm in California.
Thank you. Can i take the credit all at once (i have a very high tax liability this year) or do I have to split it up over a number of years and carry it over?
Yes, you can take the solar energy credit on your federal tax return all at once. You would carry over the credit to future years only if your tax liability in the current year is less than the amount of your credit.
