Re: Bought Two FEH can I claim both?
I just got a email back from the IRS about this question and here is was it said.
Thank you for your recent inquiry. We are sorry we were unable to answer you at that time.
Yes, the credit can be claimed twice on the Form 8910, if you were the original purchaser of the new qualifying vehicles.

The reality, I think, is that the AMT problem may bite you. You can never legally pay less taxes than the AMT system requires -- no matter how many tax credits or deductions you have or qualify for. So many people hit the limit just trying to claim it for 1 car -- it's doubtful that you'd be able to claim much (if any) for a 2nd vehicle.

When you asked the question about the claiming the credit twice, were they aware that the first car was totaled and paid for by insurance?

Re: Bought Two FEH can I claim both?
I bought a FEH on Sept. 21 and two week later I was hit by another driver and rolled so it was totaled(had 437 miles on it). On Oct. 17 I went to the same dealer and bought another one just like the wrecked one. Am I able to claim both on my taxes and get two refunds? And do you know what the refunds would be?

Also technically I think he should qualify. While the first car was totaled and paid for by insurance, the insurance company was essentially buying the totaled car from Luke. Unless theres a restriction/tax on resales within a certain timeframe it makes sense.
Anyone thinking it might not be fair that he benefits twice from his sitaution? Silly thinkers. The tax code was not designed to be fair. It is a complex behemoth that subsidizes certain behaviors (having kids, homeownership, agriculture, Don Mclean, apple pie, etc) and penalizes others (drinking, smoking, the self-employed, etc). If you want fairness push for a flat tax. /rant
