He was blessed with extended siblings Marcus Harris and Marquisiana Desir and so many more who loved him. Jeremy leaves behind his two beautiful boys, Jeremy Rocker Jr and Legend Rocker and the love of his life, his fiancé, Therese Armstrong. Jeremy was a compassionate soul who firmly believed in the power of second chances. He dedicated himself to serving as a mediator for those dear to him, embodying the spirit of understanding and forgiveness. An advocate for "Year Up," Jeremy credited his workplace with transforming his life, shaping his career at Wex. Outside the professional realm, Jeremy found happiness and joy in various places. Jeremy spent his free time listening to music, playing sports alongside video games, and spending time with loved ones, especially his two amazing sons. He loved coaching his son’s sports teams, making sure they did anything and everything to win. We all know, Jeremy could not lose at anything! Jeremy was well known to blast Nipsey’s music especially while driving. He loved sharing his infectious singing with everyone around him. And by everyone, we mean everyone. We know you all have seen the videos. In his youth, Jeremy took pride in his skills while playing Neighborhood Basketball, cherishing memories of games played and eagerly sharing videos of his past triumphs. His enthusiasm of sports extended to his determination of fantasy football, where he proudly held the title of Superbowl Champ. Did you all know he was Superbowl Champ and has a ring to prove it? Beyond his achievements, Jeremy's enduring legacy and captivating smile lies in his ability to bring laughter into the lives of those around him. A natural comedian, he had the ability to make everyone burst into laughter, even in moments when we did not want to admit he was being funny. And we all know if you had those eyebrows or eyelashes on, he was either wiping them off or ripping them off he did not care. Jeremy will be remembered not only for his accomplishments but also for the warmth and joy he brought to every corner of our lives. May his spirit of second chances and laughter continue to inspire us all. He always wanted to guide people to be the best versions of themselves. He will be deeply missed by everyone.

NEW CLEAN VEHICLE TAX CREDIT MAGI of $150,001 in 2023 and $175,000 in 2022, he would not qualify for the tax credit. He would be over the limit in both calendar years. Vehicle manufacturers are T he Federal government provides for a tax credit up to $7,500 for new electric vehicle (EV) purchases and up to $4,000 for used EV purchases. In order to qualify to the tax credit, you must meet the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price). The MSRP is reflected on the sticker and includes options, accessories, etc. It does not include destination fees and taxes. For most cars, the MSRP cannot exceed $55,000. For sports utility vehicles, vans and light trucks, the MSRP limit is $80,000. You also have to meet the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) test. For a married filing joint return taxpayer, the MAGI must be less than or equal to $300,000 for either calendar year 2023 or 2022. For a head of household taxpayer, the MAGI must be less than or equal to $225,000. For a single taxpayer, the MAGI must be less than $150,000. As an example, if Vinny and Alice purchased an EV in 2023 with MAGI of $750,000 in 2023 and MAGI of $250,000 in 2022, assuming the MSRP of the new vehicle does not exceed $55,000, they would still qualify for the $7,500 tax credit. If Charlie, a single taxpayer, purchased an EV in 2023 with required to report the EV information to the IRS as well as the purchaser of the vehicle. The manufacturer must provide this information to the purchaser at the time of sale and must also inform the purchaser as to what the maximum tax credit available is. IRS Form 15400, Clean Vehicle Seller Report is used by dealers to report this information for both new clean vehicles and used clean vehicles. Starting on January 1, 2024, taxpayers can now opt to claim the tax credit as a reduction to the purchase price as opposed to claiming a tax credit on his or her individual income tax return. Even if you report no income tax on your total tax line of your tax return, the IRS will still refund you the $7,500. To claim the tax credit, you must include Form 8936 with your tax return. You should check with the dealership as to whether or not the EV you are purchasing is eligible for the tax credit, and in what amount. There are requirements as to final assembly being in the U.S or Canada, a certain percentage of battery components being produced in the U.S. or with countries with a free trade agreement with the U.S., etc. The requirements have changed for 2024 purchases.
