The tax credit for energy-efficient vehicle charging station has been extended for 2020.

 

The maximum credit is $1,000 or 30 percent of the installation cost, whichever is lower. Should you move to a new home during the year and install recharging equipment at the new residence, you can claim 30 percent of the cost of both installations up to a maximum of $2,000.

 

Please read this TurboTax Help topic for more information.

 

You can enter your energy-efficient charging sattion by following these steps:

  1. In TurboTax, open your tax return
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
  3. Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Cars and Other Things You Own and click on Show more
  4. Click Start next to Energy-Efficient Vehicle Charging station.
