Tax credit

[EVDRIVER]

Interestingly, on the IRS website only Tesla and Coda (yes, Coda!) are included as eligible for the $7500 credit currently. Nissan Leaf is not yet on their list.

It has nothing to do with brands, read the paperwork.

(At least the IRS finally corrected the spelling. Here (in the heading) and here (in the table) it's Telsa.)

Sorry , the Leaf is exempt form the credit, I forgot.

I expect it will be eligible for the credit when they put it on the list - hopefully soon since it's already entered production and will be in consumers' hands in a matter of weeks.

Perhaps Nissan has supplied the needed paperwork, but has not yet been added to the list?

Perhaps. Perhaps they passed the responsibility to AV or criticalmass :shock:

I find it amusing people even discuss silly details like this fully knowing the rebate will be available. As though there is some question whatsoever it won't because it is not listed there on an outdated page. Not to mention that the guidelines determine eligibility.

Never muck with the IRS, I think.

The IRS can decide to interpret the wording any way they want.
And, it is a real pain to fight them.

They say you have not paid someting.
You say that you have a picture of the payment check.
They decide to ignore you, and empty your bank accounts.
