Can anyone shed light as to where the $2,000 tax deduction should be taken? I'm using TurboTax and cannot find anywhere that this deduction would be entered into the program.

Hi,<br><br>I added the deduction to the last line of<br>my schedule A, which is an "Other/Misc<br>deductions" type of line (I can't remember<br>exactly what it's called.) TurboTax will<br>let you make a notation, and I just put in<br>"Clean-Fuel".<br><br>There is also an IRS publication regarding<br>the Qualified Electric Vehicle Credit and<br>the Clean Fuel deduction. I don't have the<br>publication number offhand, but you can search<br>the IRS web site for it.<br><br>Cheers!

Individuals can claim<br> the deduction for clean-fuel vehicle property used for nonbusiness purposes by including the<br> deduction in the total on line 32 of Form 1040. Also, enter the amount of your deduction and<br> "Clean-Fuel" on the dotted line next to line 32. If you use the vehicle partly for business, see the next two discussions. <br><br>That is what I did.. not Turbo-Tax let me override<br>the entry, but because of the entry would not let me e-file... had to print the forms and mail in... for me it was worth $500 to mail in... for $500 I can wait a few more weeks ;)<br><br>Hope this helps...<br><br>Later <br><br>Perry<br>(Austin, tx)

Can't you deduct the entire $2000?<br><br>Ken<br>LOW EMSN (CA)
