If you buy a new plug-in electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in 2023 or after, you may qualify for a clean vehicle tax credit.

You can only claim this tax credit on your 2023 tax return (to be filed in 2024).

Please read this IRS document for more information.

You wait for your 2023 tax return to enter information for a vehicle you purchase in 2023.

I figured this would be the case. But did not find any concrete answer! Thanks
