Deductions & credits

No, you cannot claim a 2022 credit for a vehicle purchased in 2023.

 

Rules for claiming the electric vehicle credit changed for 2023. However, Treasury and the IRS will not issue final regulations until March so those changes will not be reflected in TurboTax until the government issues instructions.

 

Refer to “Treasury Releases Additional Information on Clean Vehicle Provisions of Inflation Reduction Act”

 

The current electric vehicle credit Form 8936 is for use for tax years beginning in 2021 or later, until a later revision is issued. Use prior revisions of the form for earlier tax years. All revisions are available at IRS.gov/Form8936.

 

For information about credit for vehicles purchased in 2023 see “Manufacturers and Models for New Qualified Clean Vehicles Purchased in 2023 or After.”
