I have been searching for the paperwork online for the $1800 GL320 tax credit, but have yet to find anything. All I have come across pertain to hybrid vehicles built through '08.

Anybody know where I might be able to obtain these forms online? I called the IRS office, but got disgusted & hung up after 15 minutes on hold.

The formal IRS title of the form is called "Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit", Form 8910. It appears to be dated for 2007, and no updated form currently exists. Check again as April nears...

Bluetec diesels fall under the category of "Advanced Lean Burn Technology Vehicles" (bottom of page) and you claim credit just as you would a qualifying hybrid vehicle.

IRS instruction:
Form 8910, Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit, is used to claim the qualified hybrid vehicle credit as well as for vehicles qualifying for other provisions of the alternative motor vehicle credit.

If the qualifying hybrid vehicle is purchased for business use, the credit for the business use of a qualifying hybrid vehicle is reported on Form 3800, General Business Credit.

For qualifying hybrid vehicles acquired for personal use, the credit is reported on the appropriate line of the taxpayer’s Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

For additional information on the proper reporting of the alternative motor vehicle credit, see the instructions to Form 8910 on page two of the form.

Do ONLY the Bluetecs qualify? My wife bought a 2008 GL320 CDI last year..I assume no federal $$$?

Correct BlueTEC's only. CDI was not 'Clean' Diesel.
