I am very confused by this form. Line 10 says "do not file this form unless you are claiming a credit on line 9", but line 9 is specifically for a "business/investment use". I installed this HPWC for my own personal use, so does this form not actually apply? Everyone seems to think it does, but the form itself seems to be saying otherwise...
And, of course, I also use H&R Block, so they're no help.
The beginning of that line is critically important:
"Subtract line 2 from line 1. If zero, stop here; do not file this form unless you are claiming a credit on line 9"
In other words, "Take the total cost of the install and subtract the part you're claiming for your business. If you're claiming $0 for business and $0 for personal, stop here. Otherwise if you have some personal credit to claim, continue."
