Clean Vehicle Credit Notice confusion - Need help understanding transcripts and amendment process

Tax practitioner here. For the Clean Vehicle Credit, you absolutely need to file Form 8936 with your tax return. The dealer can't claim this for you - it's a personal tax credit. If you've already filed without it, you'll need to wait until your original return processes before filing an amendment. The good news is you have 3 years from the original filing date to amend and claim the credit.

Hey! I've been helping people with transcript analysis using taxr.ai and it's seriously a game changer for situations like this. It costs $1 but it'll analyze your complete transcript and tell you exactly what's going on with notices and the best timing for amendments. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

im in the same boat lol. dealer told me they'd handle everything but nope! had to amend and its been 16 weeks since i submitted 🤮

The IRS is such a clown show with these credits fr fr. They need to make this stuff clearer!!! 🤡

Dont stress about the notice showing up twice - sometimes that happens when they send the same notice to different addresses or if there was a mailing error

quick tip: gather all ur paperwork from the car purchase now while u wait. ull need the vin number and proof it qualifies as a clean vehicle. makes the amendment way easier later
