Clean car credit

Hazel0017 — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 16:28:55 GMT

I purchased a 2024 Kia EV 6 all electric vehicle. I put in my vin and in service date. It said I was getting 4700 rebate. I file, IRS rejects it. Can't figure out why.

we may be able to help you if provided with the exact rejection code and message. otherwise, only the IRS can explain the reason.

Also be sure you don't have other forms that are not yet finalized by TurboTax. This is very early in the season. Check the TurboTax individual form availability site: https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html

This is happening to me as well. I've resubmitted twice now, and still getting the same errors. Hopefully a fix comes soon!

same exact issue , mine is a Tesla cybertruck I purchased in October 2024 and keep getting a rejection. After chatting with multiple advisors with intuit TT, wasting 2 days and hours of my time the only solution they came up with is for me to print and mail instead of e-file. Last year it was another issue. I am done, going to try HR Block. Good Luck yall

Seems that way doesn't it. I'm on a cruise until Sunday so I can't call.

Any fix yet for this issue?

If filing with the EV credit, there are several reason why the return could be rejecting.

The rejections happen due to the IRS business rules when either:

VIN is incorrect (Rejection code F8936-030-01)
Your tax ID and VIN do not match in the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-046)
The credit type claimed and the amount entered on the Schedule A of Form 8936 is not matching the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-0047)
The purchase date is inconsistent with the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-048).

Please follow these steps:

Check the report that you received from the dealer and make sure it is correct and matches what you have entered on your tax return. Dealers who sell vehicles eligible for a used (previously owned) vehicle credit under IRC 25E must furnish a report to the buyer at the time of sale and also to IRS for those vehicles to be eligible for a credit under IRC 25E
Contact the dealer and make sure that they provided the correct information to the IRS and/or that they did provide the sale information to the IRS.
If number 1 and 2 are true and the IRS still rejects your tax return, you will have to print and mail the return, including substantiating documentation for the claim of the credit.

So basically if all the information matches up between the Clean Vehicle Seller report and what is being put in TurboTax then the seller didn’t file the information or file it correctly? Am I understanding this correctly?

Yes, you understand it correctly. It's important to check with the dealer to be sure the information is correct and that they filed it with the IRS.

You have the option of mailing your return and including a copy of the Clean Vehicle Seller Report if your dealer confirms all is correct and submitted with the IRS.

My tax return was rejected for same reason. I am eligible nd my 2023 Bolt EV is eligible, but dealer neglected to enter VIN into IRbS database. Turbo Tax rejection error codes and messages re below:

SA-F8936-048 - The e-File database indicates this vehicle was not purchased during the tax period of the return.

SA-F8936-047 - Schedule A (Form 8936) credit amount does not match the type of credit reported in e-File database.
