Issue 1: TurboTax
I've always used TurboTax and I got my W2 today so I tried it and I ran into an issue. When I go to the Clean Vehicle thing and select pre-owned it only shows model years 2017-2024.
That doesn't make any sense. Used has to be at least two years old. And according to https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxused.shtml the 2015 Chevy Volt I purchased in 2023 was eligible. So the model year options in TurboTax for used cars should be 2011-2022. Not 2017-2024.
I contacted their support via chat and they said to wait until January 29th to see if there is an update, but if there is not, I have to file manually. That's ridiculous. Has anyone else found a tax software that accepts 2015 EVs?
Issue 2: The Dealer
Despite the tax credit being a selling point of the used car and the dealer telling me about it, they did not give me anything for the IRS, so I assumed the paperwork from buying the car would have the info I needed. However, there is mention of a specific form the dealer was supposed to give me. Is it too late to get that now in 2024? Or should I go to the dealer and request that?
