It appears that the 30% tax credit is restricted to poor neighborhoods and rural areas. I live in a working-class suburban neighborhood. As far as I can tell from the lookup and appendices, my census tract does not qualify.
Rather than wait indefinitely for TurboTax to tell me that I don't qualify, I will perhaps just delete the Form 8911 entirely and file my tax return without it.🙁
By the way, I did not qualify for a tax credit on my car purchase either. The car is a 2-year-old plug-in hybrid, but its price was over the $25K limit.🙁
