We bought a used Nissan Leaf from CarMax in July 2024 because we wanted to use the tax credit. It was made known to people at CarMax. Before finalizing our 2024 return, and after realizing that CarMax was supposed to have sent us an email re eligibility for the tax credit, I called CarMax to confirm eligibility. After a few days, I was told that the car was not eligible. I researched the car's history and found that it had been sold to someone in 5/15/24 and then sold back to a dealer 3 weeks later, may have bought it for resale. Had we been told it was ineligible, we would not have bought the car. We would have bought a different car. Is there a way to deal with IRS in this type of situation?
