The 8936 (Clean Vehicle Credit) is reported on Schedule 3 and then transferred to the 1040 on line 20 Amount from Schedule 3, line 8 

 

It is calculated on form 8936 in 

  • Part III Credit for Personal Use Part of New Clean Vehicles
  • Or Part IV Credit for Previously Owned Clean Vehicles
  • It is posted to Schedule 3 
    • line 6f for a new vehicle 
    • line 6m for a previously owned vehicle
  • It is carried to the Form 1040 on line 20 Amount from Schedule 3, line 8

From the left sidebar

  1. Select Tax tools
  2. Hint: You may have to minimize the Federal and State selections
  3. Click Tools
  4. A Menu will pop up
  5. Select View tax summary
  6. On the left panel click Preview my 1040

If you scroll to the very bottom you can see the Schedule 3

 

To confirm the posting you can see Schedule 3, and your 1040.

  • Check parts III or IV for entries

Scroll back to the top.

  • On the second page of the 1040
  • Check line 20

Some Key numbers:

  • 11 Adjusted Gross Income
  • 12 Deductions
  • 15 Taxable income
  • 16 Tax
  • 33 Withholdings
  • 34 Refund
  • 37 Amount you owe

I got this credit from POS. I got a mail from IRS to fill Form 8936 and Form 8936 Schedule A. I am able to see Form 8936 under TaxTools -> Tools -> Delete a Form. Where can I find Form 8936 Schedule A?

I am not aware of a 8939 Schedule A.

  • Schedule A is the calculation form to determine if the Standard deduction is more beneficial than the Itemized deduction.
  • The form that the 8936 is posted to is Schedule 3.

I did find a Schedule A (Form 8936)

These are all posted back to the 8936

Check to see if form Schedule A (Form 8936) is available on your return.

I have not made the payment for filing my taxes. I went to Tax Tools -> Tools -> Delete a Form and see all the forms that are generated for Federal tax.  I see Form 8936 but not Schedule A (Form 8936). I followed these steps to view the available forms for Federal filing.

 You need to do a preview of your forms and worksheets. The program holds some items away from free display so people can't just copy it down and mail in forms. To see all your forms, you would need to pay. Once you pay, you can see every worksheet and schedule. You can go back and make changes as needed.

 

2024 Schedule A (Form 8936) should be a part of your return. It shows available and ready to efile at forms availability here.

 

To print or view  your forms:

  • In desktop, switch to Forms Mode. 
  • For online:
    1. On the left side, select  Tax Tools
    2. Select Print center
    3. Select Print, save or preview this year's return
    4. If you have not paid, select pay now.

Choose to see everything, not just forms.
