Anyone having trouble with the Alternative Vehicle Refueling Property Credit? Says the personal portion of the credit is currently $0.

I ran the wizard, entered the costs of my car charger I installed, did NOT select business use, and when I land on the summary screen for the section it calculates the personal portion as zero and the business portion as zero.  I don't think I'm in an AMT situation, this just looks like some kind of calcuation error?

Keep in mind the Alternative Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is non-refundable. If there are zero taxes on your return (1040, line 18) then the credit will be zero.  If you still have inputs to make that generate an income tax on line 18, the credit will show up on line 20 to reduce that tax to zero (up to $1000 credit available).  Once the tax is zero any remaining credit is lost.  

 

You can preview your 1040 following these steps.

  1. Click "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu
  2. Click "Tools"
  3. Click "View Tax Summary"
  4. Click "Preview My 1040" in the left hand menu

I have taxes due, that's not the problem.  It's not calculating the credit.
