The credit expired for taxable years beginning after 2010.

If you claimed a credit on your return for machinery and/or equipment used to conduct research for a year after 1998 and prior to 2011, and the credit was more than your tax liability for the year, you may carry over the excess credit to the next 14 years and use it to offset tax until used up. If you are using any remaining credit in this year, enter that carryover amount on TC-40A, Part 4, using code 13.
