The credit is 30% of the total costs up to a maximum of $600. However, the credit is a nonrefundable credit. Nonrefundable tax credits can reduce the amount of tax you owe, but they do not increase your tax refund or create a tax refund when you wouldn’t have already had one.
Your federal tax liability amount is found on Form 1040 (line 24).
