Those federal credits go on IRS Form 8911.   The District offers the following tax credits for alternate fuel infrastructure and alternative fuel conversions.  

 

Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Credit 

  • The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Credit is a credit of 50% of the allowable costs for the purchase and installation of an alternative fuel storage and dispensing or charging station at a private residence, or on non-residential property designed for use by the public.
  • The credit shall not exceed $1,000 per station at a private residence and $10,000 per station on non-residential property designed for use by the public.
  • Any unused credits can be carried forward for two years.
  • More resources are available at the Office of Tax and Revenue

Alternative Fuel Conversion Tax Credit 

  • Businesses and individuals are eligible for an income tax credit of 50% of the equipment and labor costs for the conversion of qualified alternative fuel vehicles, up to $19,000 per vehicle.
  • Qualified alternative fuels include, ethanol blends of at least 85%, natural gas, propane, biodiesel, electricity, and hydrogen. This incentive expires December 31, 2026. For more information, see the Office of Tax and Revenue website.

Thanks, I know this. DC is asking for me to fill out the Residential Alternative Fuel Conversion
and Infrastructure Credit form, and manually attach it to my state return. But the form is nowhere to be found. I've asked someone in the DC government. Also, Turbotax will not let me file the state return electronically because of this requirement. I will have to print it, find this form, and send the entire return in by mail.
