I see. So I will only qualify for the rebate if my 2024 income be within the salary cap of the rebate? Is that the correct understanding or will my 2023 income be taken as 0 and I will be eligible for the rebate due to that?
That is a question you will need to ask to a specialist who is familiar with nonresident tax returns. In my opinion no you would not be eligible based on your 2023 income since you did not have any 2023 taxable income or 2023 tax liability.
@Opus 17 Do you have any comment based on this situation?
There is nothing in section 30D that says the credit can only be claimed by a US person (citizen, green card holder, or resident alien). However, I don't work with form 1040-NR, so I don't know if there is some global rule. "@pk" probably knows, but I can't page another user unless their name is at least 3 letters long (a Mac problem, I presume.)
The vehicle must be purchased "primarily" for use in the US, so you would not be eligible if you are planning to drive or ship it back to your home country.
