EV Buyers Are Getting Tax Returns Rejected After Dealers Screwed Up Credit Paperwork
With U.S. filers now submitting their 2024 taxes to the IRS, a surprising number of EV buyers are finding that their Clean Vehicle Tax Credit claims are being rejected, and often it’s the dealer’s fault.
At the center of the issue for many is the new IRS form 15400. This informs the IRS that the vehicle was eligible for the Clean Vehicle Tax Credit at the time of purchase at purchase or planned to claim it when taxes are filed.
Either the dealership failed to report the sale within the window prescribed by the IRS, or worse, the dealer wasn’t even authorized to offer the discount in the first place because it refuses to participate in the program.

The Warming Planet is Changing the Ecosystem. It’s Also Bad for Automakers
When Swedish automaker Volvo opened its proving ground in Kiruna, Sweden, 30 years ago, the mission was clear: "Making sure that our products are truly fit for the harshest of winter conditions."
This year, Volvo engineers have been forced to postpone their annual testing or rely on subarctic cold boxes to replicate the region's harsh conditions.
The unpredictable weather can delay a vehicle's rollout and production schedule and interfere with critical testing of new vehicles: braking, battery heating, thermal management, performance and drivability and even cabin heating and defrosting.
