Clean Vehicel credit

[spgmes10]

I am going to buy a 2025 Cadillac Lrig which does qualify for the $7,500 tax credit.  However, the dealership I am working from only passes the credit through if I am paying cash or loan. Since I want to lease it, I really won't own the vehicle.  Does this negate my abilty to apply/qualify for this credit?

Only the owner of the vehicle is eligible for the Clean Vehicle Credit.  Since you are leasing the vehicle you are not the owner.
