I am able to repay the credit. Once I repay the credit when it allows me to claim the new credit, it does eventually remove the repayment or it gives me a duplicate VIN error several steps later.
After going back into it further, and further investigating, it appears the problem is you cannot use the same VIN for two different credits. So since this VIN was already "claimed for the transfer credit", you cannot claim it for the Commercial Vehicle Credit. When you made the transfer choice at the dealership, you chose that credit. Now that VIN is "locked" to that credit and cannot be used for the Commercial Vehicle Credit.
As you posted above...." A vehicle that anyone has claimed for the new clean vehicle credit in Part II of form 8936 cannot be used to claim the qualified commercial clean vehicle credit" Meaning, you cannot repay the credit on one part of the form and then reclaim it on the other part of the form either.
So basically, you get to choose ONE time, which credit you are going to use. Once the VIN is on the form for one credit, that VIN cannot be used for another credit. This is why the form is not allowing you to do both things. The interview questions take a few more steps to "catch up" but the form is "protecting" you from claiming the credit that cannot be claimed since the VIN was already used to claim the credit even if it is having to be paid back.
