How about those amended returns that are still in the review process like the ones I did? I thought you previously stated that they were going to go back to 2009 and look at all credits? They are still within the time frame to go back to 2009 and re-examine and make adjustments to the accounts. It will probably end up as a class action suit by all those who have received the credit and now the state is asking for it back, like your credit. The court will decide the interpretation of the law written.

Flex fuel vehicles are not eligible for the Louisiana Alternative Fuel Tax Credit at this time. Revenue Statute 47:6035 states the vehicle needs to be a qualified car and provides some examples, which includes, ethanol. The Louisiana Department of Revenue consults federal rules. The federal alternative fuel tax credit may be granted if the vehicle burns only alternative fuel. In this instance, because the vehicle still runs on gasoline, it would not qualify for the credit. Additionally, flex fuel vehicles only require slight modification and are basically like regular vehicles. Please feel free to contact me through this medium at any time.

this is pretty easy to refute.
I should start an alternative fuel tax credit law firm.
1/3 recovery fee.

This is some funny feedback. How stupid do they think we are? The state statute she references is the law that established the credit. And guess what else? THERE IS NO FEDERAL CREDIT. It was done away with and never dealt with a new vehicle, only the fuel. There was an electric credit for a Prius. And who the frick would manufacture an alternative fuel vehicle that could not run on gasoline? It would be considered the emergency backup fuel in almost any vehicle and would be included in almost every case. This credit is useless and pointless if a flex fuel is disregarded by them. I wonder what our state officials would have to say about the department of revenue changing their story after 3 YEARS of granting valid refunds! Somebody should inform them of this ridiculous turn of events!

so here is a twist
about 2 weeks ago i amended my 2010 return for my f150 purchase
a couple of days later, this thread turned up so I figured i wouldnt get anything more than a rejection
low and behold, a couple days ago, 2,990 dollars were direct deposited into my account
i'm not gonna get too comfortable with the money, but its just intriguing how quickly it went with absolutely no inquiry or anything
i didnt even attach my bill of sale, only the loan papers to my credit union that stated the amount borrowed

Pecanman, are you a CPA?

It's becoming apparent to me that my return is the only one that has been noted down there. I also do not believe they are changing anything down there. My return simply fell in someone's queue that has their own way of looking at things. So basically, I am the only one right now with a balance due. Just great. So that guy only attached loan papers? They even gave him the credit. I don't think it's fair I have to pay mine back. Not really sure how to resolve this where I can get the balance due off my account. Apparently I have an isolated issue.

Roofdog, didn't you say that the auditor told you that they would go back and re-examine all credits back to the beginning (2009)? Why would you feel singled out if this is their plan? If your Flex Fuel credit was disallowed then everyone's credit will be. If not, then you certainly can't be singled out for any reason.

You expect the state to just say to a lot of people...oh we fricked up yall all owe us $3,000. You think people are just going to fork it over without a fight? It will never get over thrown..

Those that got the credit are hoping you are right. What if it had happened only once? Then would it be alright for the state to ask for the money back? Because there are a lot of people involved you say that the state will not ask for the money back. I believe that since there are a lot of people (and money) involved, this is why they would demand for the money paid back and thus a class action suit will probably evolve by those who have received the credit. The court will then decide what is the law. But the state will not demand the money back unless they are positive that they have misinterpreted the law and the credit should never have been given to "a lot of people" and that they would not lose in a lawsuit.

While I agree with what your saying...I dont think they can do anything. Too much work to get any money back if they were to repeal it.

so why risk it? Deny this years and hope no one fights it in court.
