    Yes there is a federal tax credit that was phased out in 2007. I bought my car on 2/25/07 and I qualified for 1/2 the original credit ($1575).

    See more here:

    Summary of the Credit for Qualified Hybrid Vehicles

    If you took delivery by 3/31/07 you qualify for a $1575 credit.

    I think that's CA as in Canada, not CA as in California.

    I bought a 2007 Prius in March 2007. I am not eligible for the federal credit because I got hit with the Alternative Minimum Tax. However, I am not eligible for AMT in California. Can someone please let me know once and for all if there is a credit I can claim in California?
    If so, which form do I use? I have been searching and cannot find anything on this topic. Again, I am referring to a STATE tax credit.

    thank you,
    JR

    I'm not aware of any California State tax credit for purchasing a hybrid, only the Federal tax credit which has now been phased out for the Prius based on the number of units sold.
