The clean vehicle tax credit is a nonrefundable federal tax credit that can only be used against federal income taxes.  If the vehicle is used for both personal and business use, the credit is separated into a personal use vehicle credit and a general business credit.

The general business credit is reported on Form 3800.  In this example, we have a self-employed taxpayer who uses his vehicle for both business and personal use.  The taxpayer purchased a 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning which qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit.

In order to qualify for the credit, the taxpayer's modified AGI must be at or below the relevant AGI thresholds.  In a case where 2023 income is above the threshold, the taxpayer can elect to use their lower 2022 income to qualify for the credit

The IRS Form 8936 is used to claim an electric vehicle tax credit for qualified vehicles.  In order to claim the credit, the vehicle must generally meet the following requirements for 2023:

1. The Vehicle must be new (exceptions apply for qualified used vehicles).
2. The vehicle must be propelled by an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery, and the battery is recharged by an external power source.
3. The gross vehicle weight must be less than 14,000 pounds.
4. The vehicle's final assembly occurred in North America.
5. MSRP is not more than $50,000 ($80k applies to vans & SUVs).

The available tax credit is a maximum of $7,500 per vehicle.  In order to get the full $7,500, the vehicle must meet both the critical mineral requirement and battery component requirement.  If the vehicle only meets one of the tests, it is only eligible for a $3,750 tax credit.

If you have doubts about whether the vehicle qualifies, you can check the following websites to look up the year, make & model.
