New Regulation for Auto Dealers and EV Buyers

The IRS has proposed new regulations for federal EV tax credits. Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, buyers can reduce the upfront cost of their EV by the amount of their Clean Vehicle Credit by transferring the credit to the dealer. Dealers will be responsible for submitting Clean Vehicle Tax Credit information through IRS Energy Credits Online. Refer to information on the IRS Clean Vehicle Tax Credit for up-to-date information for dealers and consumers on the transfer of tax credits at the point-of-sale.
