Deductions & credits

If it is a 2023 Pre-owned, then no, you should not be getting the credit.  The credit for used vehicles states that the credit should be at least 2 years old. So if you bought it in 2024, then it would need to be a 2022 or older.  Did you enter it for a new credit?  If you selected a new credit, the requirement is that you are the first owner, so even a 2023 leftover would qualify.  

The simplest thing is to delete the credit.  You can do this by deleting form 8936.  

 

 

  1. From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)
  2. On the drop-down select Tools
  3. On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form 
  4. This will show all of the forms in your return
  5. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
  6. Select the Form
  7. Click on Delete. 

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
