Best Answer

If you claim a tax credit that exceeds the tax owed, you may be able to carry it over to the following year but it depends on the type of credit. General business credits, foreign tax credits, and low income housing credits are a few examples of credits that can be carried over. Credits claimed by the every day taxpayer, however, such as education credits and child-related credits, cannot be carried over to the following tax year.

A related question is whether you can receive a refund for the excess credit in the current year. The answer is yes if is a refundable credit:

A refundable tax credit allows taxpayers to lower their tax liability to zero and receive a refund for the portion of the credit remaining.

A nonrefundable tax credit allows taxpayers to lower their tax liability to zero, but not below zero. Any excess credit remaining is lost.

The attached link discusses some refundable and nonrefundable credits. Once you get to the IRS website, type the specific credit you are curious about in the Search box to find out if it refundable or eligible for carryover.
