I beg to differ, sir. State income tax or state sales tax can be used as per page 1 of Pub. 600.[/b]

Technically, you are right. However, I doubt that there are too many people around who can claim a bigger deduction for sales tax than for personal income tax. My answer was a follow up to a response offered by another poster to a question posed by a New York potential buyer. Knowing the level of New York income taxes, I stand by my original comment.

I did the online help with the TurboTax people this morning. I hope this person is wrong.

Selvaraj S K: Don, I am sorry to inform you that form 8910 will no longer supported by the Turbotax.
Don: thats not good. so what's plan B?
Selvaraj S K: Don, you cannot file form 8910 with Turbotax program.
Selvaraj S K: I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

Obviously that guy must not get paid enough to make a dumb statement like that. I had no problem doing that form with the TT program, and it computed the form correctly. But I did my taxes through another service though because TT's filing fees were too high for me, especially for state. The form is available. That guy should be fired.

I would suggest using a different online tax program.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. TT wanted inexpensive tech support and probably went to India to save 70%. How much future revenue will they lose once this thread gets around?

If you used TaAct did it also prepare the Form 6251 (AMT) and have the correct input into form 8910 for the Alternative Vehicle Credit.
I am currently trying to use TT and it doesn't seem to be doing it.

Yes, it did everything. I only had to follow the user friendly prompts and fill in the basic blanks. It cost me $7.95 to do my return.

Thanks - I'm snowed in today (good excuse to stay home) so it's back to TaxAct.

Edit - late entry - Saturday 2/17 - E-filed with TaxAct today - it did everything that was promised - got my entire tax credit - Yeah!!!

FYI - TT has forms 8910 and 6251 available for download and filing. The software can complete a tax return now.

BTW - Lost $1600 of credit due to AMT.

I don't miss winter for 1 second. I'm from Connecticut and it was 83 degrees today in S. FL. (Please don't hate me for that statement). It's not meant to be a dig. I put up with snow & winter until age 39. I wanted to be in warm weather while I was still young enough to enjoy it. The weather in West Palm Beach is super all year 'round, except for the hurricanes. Then again, ice storms, blizzards, floods, and hurricane type windstorms aren't any better. Good luck with your refund. Mine will be here in about 4 more days. I e filed using direct deposit.
