Form 5695 residential energy credit
I owe $2500 on my 2016 Federal. My 2016 residential energy credit is $7700. Why can't the $2500 be deducted from my $7700 credit for 2016? Why is it stating the $7700 can only be used as a credit for 2017?

Form 5695 residential energy credit
The residential energy tax credit can only be used to reduce income tax. It cannot be used to offset other taxes such as self-employment tax, early withdrawal tax penalty, etc...
The unused credit can be carried over to future years.
