Is 2019 Form 8911 (Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit) working?

Hello,

I've been waiting for Turbotax Deluxe 2019 to updated for Form 8911 so I can record the costs of my EV charging station installed in January 2019.  As per the TT tax form availablity schedule, form 8911 was updated on 2/20/2020 in my Turbotax.  When I entered the cost of my personal EV charging station the resulting tax credit was $0.  No reason was provided except that it resulted in a $0 credit and the tax form will not be included.   

Anyone have luck with this form in TT 2019?

    The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is a nonrefundable credit. 

    Nonrefundable credit reduces your Tax liability (Tax due ) to 0 but it won't create or increase your refund. If you have no tax liability for the credit to be applied against, then TurboTax would show your personal portion is 0.

    I am running into the same problem - specifically, Alternative Vehicle Refueling Property credit  $0.

    I understand that it will not increase my refund - however, I am not receiving a refund. So, why am I unable to claim this credit in TurboTax?

    I am having the issue as well.  I manually calculated it and appears I am owed the credit.   Is it working for anyone??

    I tested by increasing my tax liability to see if the $0 credit would change. It didn't. There looks to be something wrong with the calculations of this credit.

     

    TT team - please review!
