The Clean Vehicle Credit rules change every tax year. For purchases in 2024, one of the rules is that the seller or dealer must report the clean vehicle credit information to you and to the IRS at the time of the sale (time of sale report). The information reported to the IRS does include the VIN number for the vehicle as well as other information about the credit.
The errors you listed are related to the information that the dealer registered with the IRS at the time of the sale not matching the information that you are reporting on your return. If there is a mismatch, then the credit is disallowed.
If you did not receive the 'time of sale report' at the time of the sale, you should contact the dealer where you purchased the vehicle to request it. You need to verify the information on the report and compare it to the information that you are including in your return. If the report is incorrect, the dealer may need to file a correction with the IRS.
