Great. NOW they offer a tax credit (which I could use), rather than a tax deduction (which was useless to a non-itemizer like me). It doesn't pay to be an early adopter.

mfa-prius,

sounds like time you amended your tax return with a 1040-x.

The hybrid deduction you mention does not require itemization to take advantage of. It is entered BEFORE the AGI. Look it up on the IRS website.
