For the past few years I have had my simple tax return prepared by a local tax service, who recently moved out of town. So that left me with the local H&R Block tax office. Today I visited them to have my tax return prepared and was surprised to discover that they could not access IRS Form 8936 - even though I could and actually gave them a hard copy. It turns out that they can only deal with IRS forms that their IT department has entered into the database. Right now all of the new IRS forms are labeled as "TBD". When my tax preparer called the IT department to ask when Form 8936 would be available so that he could complete my return, he was told that they would get around to it when could and to keep checking back on the H&R Block website for recent updates. That was not what I wanted to hear as I expect to get a refund this year and I want to hit the trough before the government runs out of money again. Right now H&R Block is not giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

However, I was (so far) pleasantly surprised that I have not received a 1099 from the California EV Rebaters and it looks like I will not have to pay State or Federal income taxes on the $900 that I received for buying my 2012 Zero. (Unless, of course, I am unpleasantly surprised by some sort of government form letter later this year.)
