People shopping for electric vehicles starting next year will be able to get a $7,500 federal tax credit off the sticker price while at the dealership, rather than having to wait months to receive their tax returns.
Not much to add. Other than the IRS PDF is written is legalese…
Currently, if your taxes are under the rebate, your tax incentive is only as good as your taxes are. So if you owe $3k in taxes, you’re only getting a $3K tax incentive, regardless of if it’s new ($7.5k) or used ($4k).
I’m seeing the government giving us easier access to that $3K… not granting the full 4k or 7.5k. For simplicity’s sake, the full rebate is applied at the dealership, but the difference is still due for that year’s taxes.
I believe with these sorts of things, you’re signing it over to the dealership so it goes against THEIR tax burden, not yours.
