A vehicle purchased on August 16, 2022 qualifies for the tax credit even if it wasn't assembled in North America and even if the buyer didn't have a contract in place by August 15, 2022. Turbo Tax is wrong on this point. TurboTax says the purchase had to be by 8/15/22 if the car wasn't assembled in NA and there was no purchase contract by 8/15/22.
This IRS post makes it clear that a purchase date of 8/16/22 qualifies (https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-electric-vehicles-purchased-in-2022-or-before), as does this TT blog post (https://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/health-care/inflation-reduction-act-of-2022-52555/). The date changed by a day when Biden signed the bill (on 8/16/22), but TT didn't update its systems.
I bought my car on 8/16/22. If I can't get TT to fix this, I'm going to have to change the date on the form and submit by mail. Does anyone know how to pass this error to the development team at TT? I've been on the phone with them about 6 times, no luck.
