Wanted to share this with my fellow LEAFers
I went back to my Turbotax program today to finish my return since Turbotax sent me an email that Form 8236 is now ready for filing.
Well to my shock and horror, the credit was showing $0 for credit for my electric car purchase in 2012.
But but but... last week it was showing I'd get $5700 credit
Here's what I discovered. Switch to FORMS mode and look at the worksheet for Form 8236
The vehicle weight and purchase price got switched... Show the weight showed 38,000 and the purchase price showed 3,385
With the wrong weight, it made the credit ineligible.
Switch the two fields, and viola! I'm back to my $5700 credit
Can't eFile it though, printed out the forms for snailmail. It gets mailed tomorrow.
