Sec. 14. (a) If the credit provided by this chapter exceeds a taxpayer‘s state tax liability for the taxable year for which the credit is first claimed, the excess may be carried over to succeeding taxable years and used as a credit against the tax otherwise due and payable by the taxpayer under IC 6-3 during those taxable years. Each time that the credit is carried over to a succeeding taxable year, the credit is to be reduced by the amount that was used as a credit during the immediately preceding taxable year. The credit provided by this chapter may be carried forward and applied to succeeding taxable years for fifteen (15) taxable years following the unused credit year.

     (b) A credit earned by a taxpayer in a particular taxable year shall be applied against the taxpayer’s tax liability for that taxable year before any credit carryover is applied against that liability under subsection (a).

     (c) A taxpayer is not entitled to any carryback or refund of any unused credit.
