Beginning January 1, 2024, Clean Vehicle Tax Credits may be initiated and approved at the point of sale at participating dealerships registered with the IRS. Dealers will be responsible for submitting Clean Vehicle Tax Credit information to the IRS.

- Has not been allowed a credit under this section for any sale during the 3-year period ending on the date of the sale of such vehicle.
