Short Statement: The changes for Form 8834 (Rev. May 2009) are to comply with P.L. 111-5, sec. 1142, which amended IRC sec. 30 to allow a credit for certain plug-in electric vehicles acquired after February 17, 2009. It will allow tax year 2008 filers with a fiscal year that ends after February 17, 2009, to claim the new qualified plug-in electric vehicle credit if they acquired a qualified vehicle after February 17, 2009. It is anticipated that there are very few such qualifying fiscal filers, perhaps none at all. The Form 8834 is now comprised of 2 "credits" - (1) the new qualified plug-in electric vehicle credit and (2) the passive activity qualified electric vehicle credits from prior years. 47 line itemas were added. This increase the overall net burden by 5,710 hours.
