lzc - I agree on the complex forms when we were nowhere near hitting the targets. A pain, but worth it to get the credit. It seemed to me that anyone not itemizing should have been able to just pull that credit to the appropriate line without all the gyrations.

When we bought the Prius in 2004, it was a deduction and my DH was out of work 6 months that year, so our effective rate was quite low, so our deduction didn't do too much. However, it wasn't the primary reason to buy the car.
