Deductions & credits
@Mike9241 I do read this different. See a partial copy of the IRS site to linked here:
Purchase date vs. delivery date
If you entered a written binding contract to buy a vehicle after December 31, 2021, and before August 16, 2022, but took delivery on or after August 16, 2022, you may elect to claim the credit based on the prior rules. To elect the credit under the prior rules you must elect the credit on your 2022 tax return after you take delivery of the vehicle. Depending on the date the vehicle is delivered, you can claim the credit on your original, superseding, or amended 2022 tax return.
If you purchased a vehicle between August 16, 2022 and December 31, 2022 but don't take delivery of the vehicle until 2023,
As marked blue & underlined there is no restriction for the EV to be delivered before December 31, 2022 in case the binding contract was in place before August 16, 2022. That is only mentioned at the end of the paragraph which refers to purchases between August 16 and December 31. It makes sense that we can still claim the credit for binding orders before 8/16/2022 if the car is delivered only in 2023. Otherwise IRS' reference to an "original, superseding, or amended 2022 tax return" would not make sense.
Turbo tax does not accept a date placed in service in 2023. I believe this is not correct based on the above. How can we do this?
