Sure you will. To use another example, let's say you had $5000 dollars in taxes withheld from your paychecks. You fill out your tax return at the end of the year and find that your income tax is only $4000. So you'll get a $1000 refund. But then, oh my gosh, you forgot to claim the hybrid tax credit. You put that into your tax return and now your income tax is $1900 instead of $4000, and your refund will be $3100 instead of $1000.
