I entered the credit as override as instructed by the FAQ's, and attached the PDF completed form. Maybe there's a code for that attachment that will clear this?

Unfortunately, Form 8834 deals with another type of credit, and has a $2,500 max. The vehicle my client purchased is eligible for the $7,500 credit. Form 8936 is the only form I can find that deals with that credit level. Thank you anyway!


8936 - See this for input

Are you doing a pass through of the credit? You should not be doing an override. The number should flow from the K-1.

If you are doing a return for someone who purchased a new vehicle, you have the wrong form. 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

What is the right Form for someone who purchased a vehicle (not a pass-thru credit)?

I started to google:

Form 8834

and it filled in the rest: vs 8936

And it gives great results, including:
