The tax credit that ended on 12/31/09 for the Plug-in electric drive car is claimed on form 8936. If you purchased and had the car delivered to your home before 12/31/09 then you should have no problems claiming the credit on your 2009 taxes.
If you purchased (aquired) before 12/31/2009, but didn't take delivery (placed in service) until 2010, then this tax credit becomes complicated.
I have had many discussions with people on another website and the opinions differ greatly...the IRS is not very clear either, so the discussion goes on and question of the month is: Can I claim the credit if I purchased the car in 2009 but didn't receive it until 2010?
Any tax accountants or tax lawyers out there with an opinion on this?
