wstcoaster07 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 I have dug a little deeper in to this tax credit and have one major question that will definitely affect my purchase: If at the end of the year I do my taxes and I have withheld 6k, but only owe 2k, the govt returns me 4k. Since I received a return, am I not eligible for an additional 1.7k return from my hybrid purchase? A lot of stuff I am reading online makes it seem that a credit is only to reduce the amount you owe the govt, not to increase the amt the govt owes you. Has anyone talked to a tax professional about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
