Car tax credit on simple return

If you purchased either a qualified all electric or hybrid, plug-in motor vehicle, you might be eligible for a Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit, which is reported on Form 8936. 

However, there's no credit available for the purchase of gas-fueled cars on your federal return.  You may qualify for certain benefits if you bought it for your small business. 

Please see the TurboTax Help article What is an electric car tax credit? for more information.
