TT says state of AZ owes me $1, 000 refund for a solar tax credit however Google says this is a credit only & used to reduce tax liability. Is TT correct?

A nonrefundable credit results in a refund when you have paid in more than your liability after the credit.

So if you paid in $5,000 and your liability before the credit was $5,000 but now it is $4,000 because the credit reduced your liability you would get $1,000 back.
