TT does not appear to be applying eligibility reqs for the electric car tax credit properly. How can I get this resolved?

I was divorced in 2023. My AGI for 2022 was within the limits of the credit for a married person, but not in 2023 for a single person. However, the IRS states:

If your filing status changes between the preceding year and the current year, you may claim the New Clean Vehicle Credit if your modified AGI is less than or equal to the threshold applicable to your filing status for in the preceding year or current year.

By my reading I should be eligible. Thoughts?

Energy forms are not ready yet

Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

Many federal and state forms are not yet available. Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

No hurry to e-file since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files until January 29. And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

TurboTax doesn't seems to support using filing status from a previous year. Is there an update coming to address this?
