If the result of these adjustments is negative, and you do not have to pay minimum tax, enter "0" on line 17 of Schedule 1. Recapture of investment tax creditIf you have to repay an investment tax credit you received previously for scientific research and experimental development, calculate on Form T2038(IND), Investment Tax Credit (Individuals), the amount you have to repay.
