Hybrid Car Tax Credit

I bought a hybrid vehicle in 2006, thinking that I get the tax credit. However, after doing my taxes, I get most of my money due to work only part of the year and tax deductions real estate. Next year, I think my income will be higher. Can I wait and take the credit for next year? How would someone know that I bought in 06 and 07 not? I bought the car in the factoring of credit, he does not want to lose.

It is the IRS website. You can click on this link and the car you bought. The dealer is supposed to maintain the number of a certain model is still available for the credit .....

The credit reduces the taxes owed in the year of purchase. So you can not wait to take the next year.

In addition, the amount of credit depends on the day you bought the vehicle, and there may be no available credit on the model you bought in 2007.

You can claim the credit in the year you actually made the purchase. How can anyone know? In the same way they know if you actually acquired at all - if you are prompted by the IRS for evidence, would have received the wrong year on it for your application if you applied for 2007.

You have to take the credit in the year you bought the car. You are supposed to provide information on purchasing the car. You can get away with it, but you can see that the addition of "credit hybrid car" opens in audits.
