This question is re: the wording of IRS Form 8936: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8936
The key part of the qualifying for the electric vehicle credit (for me) is the instruction that reads: "You placed the vehicle in service during your tax year."
I have a Chevy Bolt being delivered to a dealership in late December. If I sign the paperwork for it and take ownership on 1/1/23 or later, does that date become the "Placed in service" date? Or is that date determined by the arrival at the dealership and when it was available to me? I do not have a signed binding contract from the date of the order of the vehicle. It was ordered as part of a replacement program as per GM's recall of the Chevy Bolt.
Any clarification is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
