    Are you looking for a credit to go against your tax liability?

     

    The Credit from Form 8936 goes onto Schedule 3.

    All your credits from Schedule 3 goes to your 1040 line 20

     

    Line 18 is just adding the amount from the tax tables and additional tax from Schedule 2. 

     

    Look at Schedule 3 and your 1040 line 20 for the credit

    It did not include a Schedule 3 in this package. 

     

    I would like to make sure my credit is actually being used towards the car so i dont have to pay back the entire 7500 that tesla discounted.

    If there is not a Schedule 3 or an amount on Line 31 (1040), the credit is not being applied to your tax return.  You will want to go through the Energy-Efficient Vehicles Section again.  @Swimmerbhs
