Self employed

Your EV credit does apply to income tax from self-employment net income, it just doesn't apply to your self-employment tax. Your self-employment tax is not an income tax in the traditional sense of the word. It is actually a contribution to your retirement account with the social security administration. That is why the EV credit cannot apply to it as it is only allowed as a credit against income tax, a restriction that applies to all tax credits. There are no tax credits that apply to social security/self-employment tax . @stevejen
