I submitted my return on Feb 13th and got the IRS rejected the return with error code: "FDI_8936_EVCredit_ErrorHold". I resubmitted my return on Feb 20th and the IRS rejected the return with the same error code.

On Feb 21, I opened TurbroTax with the instructions to refile. Then I reviewed my input data and found nothing wrong except for the gross vehicle weight updated to 4551lbs. The remaining data: Model 3 Standard + purchase date Mar 21, 2019 & battery capacity 54KWh. I used the maximum credit of $3750, per IRS table with 50% reduction for a $1875 credit.

Do I need to simple refile or file an amended return?

You do not need to file an amended return for your Form 8936 error. The Form 8936 was not calculating correctly. According to the TurboTax Help article at this link, it is scheduled to be "fixed" on 2/21/2020. That article has a link to sign up for email notification when the Form 8936 is ready to file.

It is 21 February 2020 and IRS form 8936 has still not been corrected. I have signed up for the update e-mail, but nothing was sent today. Telephone support seems to think that the form was available two days ago. Oh, wait... it was available yesterday... oh, wait... you can sign up for an e-mail update that never comes.

Your credit should be $3750, you got your M3 SR+ the day after me 🙂 Now if I could only get the charging station to enter correctly I would be filing too!
