What's a clean vehicle tax credit?
If you own an all-electric or hybrid plug-in motor vehicle, you might qualify for a clean vehicle credit. The credit ranges from $3,750 to $7,500.
The size of your car’s battery determines how much money you may receive. Typically, the bigger the battery, the bigger the credit. For some models, the credit amount can fall well below $7,500.
Note: Due to tax law changes, this credit won't be allowed for any vehicle acquired after September 30, 2025. The vehicle must be put into service for you to claim the credit. A vehicle is put into service when you take possession of it. If a vehicle is put into service after September 30, you must have bought it on or before that date to get the credit. You can show you bought the vehicle by signing a written contract and making a payment on or before September 30, 2025.
To find the clean vehicles section in TurboTax, go to the clean vehicle credit screen under Deductions & credits in the Federal section.
We’ll ask you questions about your car to see if you qualify. For qualification details, see clean vehicle tax credits on the IRS website.
