How do I fix my return it keeps getting rejected with Reject Code SA-F8936-030-01 My electric vehicle qualifies but I can't figure out why the rejection

It is the EV tax credit

There are several reasons why a return can get this reject:

• The vehicle's VIN entered on the form is incorrect - Verify the VIN you entered with the VIN showing on the form the taxpayer received. If it's correct as entered, attach a PDF copy of it to Form 8936. file by mail
• The return was filed before the seller had notified the IRS - The clean vehicle dealer may have delayed notifying the IRS, thus the IRS didn't yet know about the vehicle's sale at the time the tax return was filed.
• This vehicle doesn't qualify for the credit - This is not a qualifying clean vehicle.

If the return continues to get this reject when e-filed, you may have to paper file it, or you can consider filing the return without the credit, then once the dealer has uploaded the vehicle's information to the IRS the return can be amended to include the credit.

The taxpayer should also consider reaching out to the dealer to verify that they uploaded the vehicle's information to the IRS website.
