Clean Vehicle Tax Credit mistake - filed wrong, need amendment help
I accidentally claimed the clean vehicle tax credit thinking it was for a car with a clean title. Just found out it's actually for electric vehicles. Now I need to wait to amend my return. Anyone else make this mistake or know when I can submit the amendment?

Tax professional here. The Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC 30D) is specifically for electric and certain plug-in hybrid vehicles. You'll need to wait until your original return is fully processed before submitting Form 1040-X to amend. Watch your transcript for TC150 code which means your return is processed.

Currently seeing 4-6 weeks for basic returns, but could be longer if you have other credits claimed

Just uploaded my transcript to taxr.ai and it helped me figure out exactly when I can file my amendment. The AI analyzed everything and gave me step-by-step instructions. Worth the $4.99 vs trying to decode all these codes myself. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Quick tip: make sure you keep all your documentation about the mistake and when you discovered it. IRS can be sticky about timing of amendments.
