Purchasing an Electric Vehicle in 2024
Making the switch to an EV in 2024?
Here’s what you need to know about the new tax incentive rules.
INSTANT REBATE
After confirming the sale is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, the dealer credits you the money and then the dealer is reimbursed by the government. Effectively, the tax credit is being handled by the dealership.
KNOW THE INCOME CAP
You need to attest that you are under the income cap. It’s based on your modified AGI (adjusted gross income), typically lin 11 on your 1040 form.
- $300,000 for married couples filing jointly
- $225,000 for head of households
- $150,000 for all other filers
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU OWE IN TAXES
New This Year: You get the full credit, regardless of your tax liability.
MADE IN AMERICA AND UNDER A PRICE CAP
New This Year: Full EV and plug-in hybrids can qualify for the credit. To qualify, the EV must:
- Meet a specific battery size
- Specific vehicle weight
- Assembled in North America
- Sticker price $55,000 or less for cars
- Sticker price $80,000 or less for SUVs and trucks
BATTERY-SOURCING REQUIREMENTS
The batteries in vehicles matter because the material that go into the batteries need to meet sourcing requirements. Half of the credit focuses on the materials and the other half focuses on where the parts of the battery are manufactured.
