To verify if a dealer is eligible to receive tax credits for clean vehicles, you can follow these steps:
- Check Dealer Registration: Ensure the dealer is registered with the IRS for clean vehicle credits. This registration is required for dealers to report sales and facilitate tax credits for buyers. Dealers must use the IRS Energy Credits Online tool for this purpose.
- Verify Reporting Compliance: Confirm that the dealer reports clean vehicle credit information to the IRS and provides the necessary documents to buyers. This includes submitting time-of-sale reports within three calendar days of the sale for vehicles placed in service on or after January 1, 2024.
- VIN Verification: Dealers can verify vehicle eligibility by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the dealer portal, which checks if the vehicle qualifies for a tax credit.
- Compliance with IRS Requirements: Dealers must adhere to all IRS requirements, including advance payment registration and transferring credits, to be fully eligible for the program.
By ensuring these steps are met, you can verify if a dealer is eligible to facilitate tax credits for clean vehicle purchases.
