Why do I need to complete form 3800

Turbo Tax is telling me I need to complete form 3800. I do not own a small business nor have business related expenses for a business that I own. It is telling me I cannot proceed until I complete this form, and that it won't be ready until 2/2/23.

Help!

Do you have a rental property?

Did you enter any information in regards to qualifying for any tax credits?

I do not have a rental property. The only thing we did differently this year was install an electric vehicle charging station at the house, would that be a qualifying credit?

Yes, Form 3800 is included as part of your return even though there is no business association or use. Form 8911, which is where you will report the cost of the charging station refers back to Form 3800 even if the amount of business use is zero. Just follow the steps for form 8911 and enter zero for any business use. For further information the links below should be of assistance.
