How To Claim the Deductions





How you claim the deductions for clean-fuel vehicle property and clean-fuel vehicle refueling property depends on the use of the property and the kind of income tax return you file.

Deduction for nonbusiness clean-fuel vehicle property by individuals. Individuals can claim the deduction for clean-fuel vehicle property used for nonbusiness purposes by including the deduction in the total on line 36 of Form 1040. Also, enter the amount of your deduction and “Clean Fuel” on the dotted line next to line 36. If you use the vehicle partly for business, see the next two discussions.
