TT 2021 Online Form 8911 (Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit) Not Calculating Correctly

Using TurboTax 2021 Online.  I entered $1744 for the purchase and installation of an EVSE and TurboTax only credits me $240 (~14%), but the credit should be $523 (30%).  I have plenty of remaining Federal Tax Liability (>$20k).

As you alluded to in your question, the credit is non-refundable and will only reduce your income tax to zero.  You mention you have a tax liability of >$20K.  It is probable that tax liability is not from income tax but other taxes such as self-employment taxes.  You can see your 1040 using these steps.  Look at lines 20-24 on your form 1040.  You can also see schedules 2 and 3 for the credit and other taxes entries.

Thanks so much for replying and showing me where to check this!  But, I was still right that my remaining tax (line 22) is still $24k after all credits.  Other tax is $4k (Line 23).
