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 I contacted the dealer and they provided the incorrect information to the IRS, how do I correct this? The Schedule A Form 8936 they submitted has the year 2023 and not 2024 on it.

They sent me a corrected Schedule A Form 8936 that has 2024 on it but aren’t understanding the part of notifying the IRS.

Your best option is to keep the corrected Form 8936 Schedule A from the dealer for your records, and include a copy of that form with your mailed tax return.

Unless the dealer has the ability to make the change with the IRS, your return will continue to be rejected when you electronically file it.
