Hi,
My Dealer did not submit the paperwork for me to claim this credit. How can I
attach a file or explanation to substantiate the purchase before resubmitting the return?
You must ensure the seller has successfully submitted the Time of Sale report through IRS ECO to claim the credit.
You will need to file Form 8936, Clean Vehicle Credits when you file your tax return for the year in which you took delivery of the vehicle. You must file the form whether you transferred the credit at the time of sale or you're claiming the credit on your return.
If the return is rejected due to Form 8936, ensure the VIN was input correctly. Note there are no letters “O”, “Q” or “I” in a VIN. If the VIN was input correctly and you believe the vehicle is eligible, attach a file or explanation to substantiate the purchase before resubmitting the return.
