Since this continues to increment every day at about the same time, its blatantly obvious that this is getting very little attention by the people building the updates. I think the software is programmed to increment by 1 day when it encounters an error in a form that is not a "known" problem. When the problem is slated to be fixed, the tool shows a separate window and schedule fix date (accurate or inaccurate). I know 1 person in the thread here yesterday, claimed that it was being worked on through an Tweet... but I am not putting any stock in that, as it seems that their customer service reps don't talk to the software engineers/programmers or know what is really being worked on.
Anyways, I went ahead and filed last night after deleting the 8911 form entirely (like I did not have the equipment installed) and will send in an amended form to get my other $800 or so bucks for the Alternative Fueling Station credit at my home, when/if they get this fixed. If they do not get it fixed, I hope that I can transfer my existing return to another platform, without too much hassle as I have entered many charitable donations, and cap gains/losses on 1099s and those can be a pain to deal with, so I doubt they will easily transfer. I am guessing I spent 6 hours working on taxes this year, not counting all of the checking in on form 8936 and 8911 to finish the tax season.
Good luck everyone.... and I will continue to monitor this thread for a class action lawsuit.... but honestly, that type of lawsuit only benefits the lawyers, and won't get your entire software cost back--by the time attorneys are paid and things are over with, your $50 bucks that you originally paid, will end up getting $5 back for 3-4 years after you bought the tool, and when this is resolved, in this economy, that $5 will be worth about $2.
