No there is no federal tax credit for installing an electric car charger at your home in 2018. The 30% federal tax credit for installing electric vehicle charging stations at your home or business expired at the end of 2017. However, some states still have a tax credit for installing electric vehicle charging stations at your home.

Did this change due to an amendment made to the year-end spending bill, taxpayers will once again qualify for a 30% rebate (up to $1,000) on costs associated with the installation of an EV charging station.

It does appear as though there will be a credit available for installing an Electric Vehicle Charger at home for 2019.

"Sec. 103. Credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property (sec. 30C). The provision extends through 2019 a credit for the installation of alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service before 2020 Available for property that dispenses alternative fuels including ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, hydrogen, and electricity, the credit is capped at $30,000 per location for business property and $1,000 for property installed at a principal residence."

It looks like turbo tax updated their supported form listing.

It says now that "Form 8911, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit" will be available 02/12/2020.

^This site now shows that it's available, but I can't find it. When I type in 8911 it takes me to the 'General Business Credit' page, which has 8911 as one of the options to manually type in.

I filled out the 8911 manually and then entered the details on the form above, but my return was rejected because I didn't attached 8911. So, I'm guessing it's still not working?

Anyone figure this out?
