EV Tax Credit Eligibility in 2024 when getting married
I am looking at getting an EV this year. In 2023 I was not eligible for the credit as my income was too high, and still would be in 2024. However, I am getting married later this year, and together we would be under the cap for the EV tax credit. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to take advantage before the wedding (though I don’t see why not we will file jointly for the whole year) and the IRS themselves says “
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.” My income will be higher in 2024 (filing jointly), but it’s because the way we are filing taxes is changing. Are we eligible?
