Will my 2017 solar residentail tax credit carry forward to 2018 considering the about to be enacted new tax bill

[dstuart1938]

I'm concerned that the new tax bill will not allow the carry forward and need to know before end 2017. I can adjust income if necessary.

I haven't read the entire bill and the news analyses are not focusing on that.  However, it is generally unconstitutional to take away a promised financial benefit after the fact.  The solar credit was previously extended to 2022 (I think); so even if this bill eliminated it starting in 2018, prior carryovers that were allowed under the law when the tax return was filed would still be allowed.

The Solar Credit is still in place (but the credit was not re-expanded to other energy items).
