the aggregate acquisition indebtedness (as defined in section

mortgage that may be purchased by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (as such limitation is in effect at the
time of such purchase).
''(3) Limitation based on amount of tax.--In the case of a
taxable year to which section 26(a)(2) does not apply, the

individual.
''(B) Joint purchase.--In the case of a purchase of
a principal residence by 2 or more unmarried

respect to the purchase of any other principal
residence.
''(c) Carryforward of Unused Credit.--
''(1) Rule for years in which all personal credits allowed
against regular and alternative minimum tax.--In the case of a
taxable year to which section 26(a)(2) applies, if the credit
allowable under subsection (a) exceeds the limitation imposed
by section 26(a)(2) for such taxable year reduced by the sum of
the credits allowable under this subpart (other than this
section), such excess shall be carried to the succeeding
taxable year and added to the credit allowable under subsection
(a) for such succeeding taxable year.
''(2) Rule for other years.--In the case of a taxable year
to which section 26(a)(2) does not apply, if the credit
