IRS and Taxes Q&A

Q: Hi, This year we purchased a new Heating/AC unit that qualifies for the $1500 tax credit. We have more income tax withheld than our tax liability. So, I thought that we would receive the entire amount on our tax refund. My sister, who's a tax preparer, said this is not the case. Everything that I have read indicates this is a tax credit on taxes paid. So, shouldn't this be a refund if we have paid our entire tax liability?
