I purchased a 2024 Kia EV 6 all electric vehicle. I put in my vin and in service date. It said I was getting 4700 rebate. I file, IRS rejects it. Can't figure out why.

Not A Product Question

Also be sure you don't have other forms that are not yet finalized by TurboTax. This is very early in the season. Check the TurboTax individual form availability site: https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html

If filing with the EV credit, there are several reason why the return could be rejecting.

The rejections happen due to the IRS business rules when either:

VIN is incorrect (Rejection code F8936-030-01)
Your tax ID and VIN do not match in the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-046)
The credit type claimed and the amount entered on the Schedule A of Form 8936 is not matching the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-0047)
The purchase date is inconsistent with the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-048).

Please follow these steps:

Check the report that you received from the dealer and make sure it is correct and matches what you have entered on your tax return. Dealers who sell vehicles eligible for a used (previously owned) vehicle credit under IRC 25E must furnish a report to the buyer at the time of sale and also to IRS for those vehicles to be eligible for a credit under IRC 25E
Contact the dealer and make sure that they provided the correct information to the IRS and/or that they did provide the sale information to the IRS.
If number 1 and 2 are true and the IRS still rejects your tax return, you will have to print and mail the return, including substantiating documentation for the claim of the credit.

So basically if all the information matches up between the Clean Vehicle Seller report and what is being put in TurboTax then the seller didn’t file the information or file it correctly? Am I understanding this correctly?

This is happening to me as well. I've resubmitted twice now, and still getting the same errors. Hopefully a fix comes soon!

I am also getting these errors, the same three codes and my return was rejected by the IRS.

Many Kia EVs are not eligible for the tax credit because they are manufactured in Korea. I finally talked to the finance department at my dealership to troubleshoot this turbo tax error. Do a simple google search for your car and the google AI will clarify it (it seems to be accurate. Turbo tax should be able to update their system to give the proper error message or something. It should not say "incorrect VIN" when the VIN is correct.

There have been some updates regarding the EV credits - Taxpayers who were unable to claim the credit previously for the 2024 tax year due to the lack of a Form 15400 should contact their automobile dealer now to obtain the report while the portal remains open for dealers to submit their 2024 seller reports.

According to an alert issued by the National Automobile Dealers Association, the IRS has now reopened the portal for dealers to submit the 2024 Form 15400 and is waiving the 72-hour submission deadline. It is unknown how long the portal will remain open, so you should act quickly. @JJA222

Thanks, Dawn.
The dealership mailed me my $7500 check, but I’m still waiting for the tax form 15400 to arrive. I will feel better to have the tax form in hand before I make another attempt to submit my tax return. I am very happy to have the money, but want to make sure I don’t have any IRS issues. Thank you, again.
