Bought a Chevy Bolt in Feb '23 and the tax credit is not appearing on my return, I don't owe anything but no refund either. Is there a CA credit as well?

The federal EV credit is non-refundable, which means the credit can't reduce your tax liability past zero. The maximum credit is $7,500. It is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years. Did you have a federal tax liability on Form 1040? (see lines 18 and 24).

California has a rebate incentive; you can find out more about the program by visiting the CA - CVRP website.
