2011/2012 Colorado Tax Credit

I'm looking to buy a 2011 or 2012 Prius (non-plug-in), before the end of this year. Not sure if the 2012 Prius will be in dealerships by then (one dealer said they could be in by November).

In any case, I would like to know if the 2011 (and/or 2012) Prius qualifies for a Colorado state tax credit for the tax year 2011.

A search didn't reveal any Colorado tax credit info for 2011.

Also, assuming 2012 and 2011 models both qualify for any credits, which model year would you recommend buying? FWIW, I plan to buy a Prius 2.

Thanks!

 

Thanks salyavin, that was helpful and at least gives me some hope .

Income 9 does mention there is a tax credit on the 2011 Prius of $3382 if purchased on or before Dec 31st 2011.

Do you happen to also know if a 2012 Prius purchased before the end of this year qualifies for any credit? If so, how do we calculate the credit? Income 9 doesn't seem to put a restriction on model years, but only restrictions on purchase date. Just wanted to get your viewpoint on this.

I checked with a Denver Toyota dealer and they were surprisingly clueless on tax credits for the Prius.
