Not sure if this applies as it is not the same credit, but I have a 3800 credit that carries forward from year to year on the personal return and it takes income limits to use.

each year in proseries I have to go to the 3800 form and give it the information for the carryforward.

I have already done it for 2019 so I am not sure if I get some kind of error message, or if anything is carried to the 3800 from the year before.  What I do know is that if it is carried forward it is not carried forward accurately so i just have the note in my file to copy information from the year before until the credit is lost or used.

Does this help?
