Unused credit carryforwardavailable from previous years is used first, beginning with the credit that will expire first. “Unused credit carryforward” is any credit amount that you earned in a previous year, less any credit that you applied to unpaid tax in following tax years, less any credit that has expired.For example, if you earned a Dependent Care Assistance Program Credit in 2012 in the amount of $5,000, and you used $2,000 credit on your 2012 tax return, you had $3,000 left to carry forward for two years. On your 2013 tax return, you used $1,500. You now have $1,500 left to use on your 2014 tax return. This is your unused credit carryforward. If you are not able to use all $1,500 on the 2014 return, you will forfeit the excess credit.
