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.
