New EV requirement is wrong in desktop TT 2023

TT 2023 H&B desktop says you cannot take new EV credit if your income is over $150k/$300k in either 2022 or 2023. This is incorrect.

Correct is:
If your income is under these limits in one of the 2 years you qualify for the credit. Please have software corrected.

New EV requirement is wrong in desktop TT 2023

This error is still in TT Desktop as of today (03/25/24). If your income is below $150/300 in either 2022 or 2023 you qualify per IRS guidlines. TT says if it is over in one of the 2 years you do NOT qualify.

TT, please correct your software, it is wrong.

New EV requirement is wrong in desktop TT 2023

Is TurboTax not allowing you to claim a credit you feel you are qualified to take?   You can compare your modified AGI for the year you took delivery and the year before and if your modified AGI is below the threshold in one of those 2 years, you qualify.   IRS - EV credits for cars purchased in 2023 and after

 

You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.    The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.

 

To qualify, you must:

  • Buy it for your own use, not for resale
  • Use it primarily in the U.S.

In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:

  • $300,000 for married couples filing jointly
  • $225,000 for heads of households
  • $150,000 for all other filers

You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less.  If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.    The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

 

If you take possession of a new clean vehicle on or after April 18, 2023, it must meet critical mineral and battery component requirements to qualify for the credit. This applies even if you bought the vehicle before April 18. Find details in Q6 under Topic A in the fact sheet
