My wife and I purchased a Volkswagen ID.4 on September 17th, 2022. We reserved our vehicle back on January 9th, 2022 and locked our order on April 11th, 2022. We made deposits for each step of the order and reservation.
Due to the supply chain issues and interruptions with the war in Ukraine, our vehicle reservation was delayed through the summer. Ultimately, we decided to purchase a 2022 ID.4 made available to us from the dealer after the Inflation Reduction Act was signed on August 16, 2022. Our contract was signed on September 17th.
The law isn't entirely clear how to handle this gray area in 2022 after the IRA was signed. Do I file for the credit under the assumption that there was a reasonable expectation that it was valid when I ordered in early 2022 and risk a possible audit?
Thanks for any expert advice you might have on this topic.
