West Virginia Motor Vehicle Tax Credit (Form MV-1)

[bill2431]

2 Questions:

1.  WV Form MV-1:  After entering data from the letter I received from the state of WV, the "Class" of vehicle entry on the Turbo Tax MV-1 form shows as an error.  For example, a car is Class A.  I enter A but the cell shows reddish error color.  It accepts the "A" but shows the sheet as having an error.  In print preview, the MV-1 form looks OK.

2.  E-filing WV State Income Tax:  When I select Print Preview, the option "all official forms required for filing" does not show the MV-1 form that is required by WV to obtain the credit.  The only way I can see the MV-1 form is to use the option "Specific Forms".  Will I be able to select "Specific Forms" for E-filing to ensure that the MV-1 form is included in the e-filed return?

1. Enter Class A

2. Check the box that you are filing a federal and this should be included

Thanks for posting the original question since I was about to ask the same thing!

I followed the recommendation suggested by AmyC. However, I don't see the form being included in the final step to file online. Is there a glitch with the software preventing the form from being submitted?

Since I could not get a definitive answer re e-filing of the WV tax return with the WV Motor Vehicle Tax Credit, I contacted Turbo Tax by phone.  The tax expert indicated that the return would have to be submitted by mail.

Since the MV tax credit is new, I intend to include the following in the mail-in package:

1.  WV tax return

2.  Form MV-1 generated by Turbo Tax

3.  A copy of the letter received from the state communicating the eligible tax credit

bill2431,

Thanks for the feedback! I followed your suggestions. Turbo Tax should take a look at this issue; many people are puzzled about it. I noticed in the  "File by Mail Instructions for your West Virginia Tax Return" the following: "Attach all copies of your West Virginia Schedule MV-1 prior to mailing your West Virginia return". In my opinion, Turbo Tax should also add  the following as a reminder: "Attach copies of your state W-2 (Copy 2) Wages and Tax Statement" prior to mailing your West Virginia return.
