I noticed the Turbo Tax walkthrough form supporting IRS Form 8936 asks for the Acquisition Date and Date Placed in Service, but the actual IRS Form 8936 itself only asks for the Date Placed in Service. I'm not going to be using my EV for business. If I purchase the EV in 2022..meaning I complete and sign a binding contract in December 2022, but I don't take delivery until January 1, 2023, is it correct that the Date Placed in Service is January 1, 2023? If so, what is the reason Turbo Tax asks for the Acquisition Date and does the Acquisition Date have any bearing on determing the eligibility for the tax credit? My specific situation is that I'm looking to purchase a GM or Tesla...which until January 1, 2023 is NOT eligible for a tax credit because they have hit the 200K cap, although they are assembled in North America. But can I actually sign the binding contract in December 2022 and then take delivery in January 1, 2023 when the 200k cap is lifted and still get the tax credit since I will have taken delivery (which I'm assuming means, Placed in Service) in January 1, 2023. Or does the fact that the binding contract (which I'm assuming is the Acquisition Date that Turbo Tax is referring to) has a December 2022 date mean I would NOT be eligible for the EV tax credit?
