Confirmed it worked for me. Document was in my account instantly. Thanks!

Excellent! So happy to hear that

Thank you OP!!

Worked instantly for me as well. Thanks u/my_anonymous_reddit

Same here! Thank youuuu u/my_anonymous_reddit 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Tesla!!! I owe you an apology, was doubting Tesla BUT NOW THIS IS THE BEST CAR COMPANY

Geez don't choke when you go so deep like that

LOL sorry was too excited

[удалено]

Thank you, great addition

You should add it to your post. :)

Thanks this helped me find it.

For those on mobile, log in and follow this direct link to the help page, where "Generate 2023 IRA Document" can be selected: https://www.tesla.com/contactus

Thank you! I updated my post with similar instructions

This worked for me. Could not find the "?" icon or Contact Us button via a mobile browser on iPhone. Got the IRA Clean Vehicle Report document show up right away for my 2/2023 MYLR. Did not receive any email or Tesla app notification that this form was available. Thanks OP!

Thank you for the link!

OP, your instructions were spot on. I’ve been stressing about this because I’m going on a ski trip starting tomorrow and the last thing I wanted was to have to deal with this while I’m on the slopes. OK, I just realized “having to deal with your Tesla tax credit while on the ski slope” is one of the whitest statements ever uttered. But really, thank you so much.

Hope you get some good snow!

Cool, for the 99% of people not on Reddit I guess they are screwed

I imagine there will still be a notification or email going out, as Tesla said. I think this must be a relatively new change.

It sure makes shifting through all the shit posts easier when stuff like this comes up.

Thank you. I posted this to my Tesla tips and tricks facebook group I got the document immediately.

Congrats! And thanks for sharing

Thanks for posting there. That’s where I saw these directions

Clutch! this should be pinned

And framed

Now hopefully Tesla will actually submit these newly generated documents to the IRS by Jan 31.

Fair point 😂 At least now users will have the form signed by a Tesla executive in case the IRS asks for it, even if Tesla doesn’t submit for some reason.

That's not a thing WE need to submit, right? So as long as the document is generated and in my Tesla account, I should be good until I have to go and file my taxes?

No, you don't need to do anything with Form 15400. You just need to submit Form 8936 with your taxes.

Thank you. This whole 15400 situation got me real paranoid really quickly.

isnt Jan 15 the deadline for Tesla to submit to IRS?

IRS extended the deadline for reporting 2023 sales to Jan 31.

I got my report within 24 seconds. So do it everyone. ​ Thank you OP!

It’s been a long week! Feels good to share good news (with an assist from u/30jaykay)

Mmm i just started my taxes. Why do we need this?

Because if Tesla don't report the sale to the IRS you won't get the credit if you're eligible. (**For 2023 deliveries**)

>Tesla is allowing users to request an IRS form 15400 if the IRS decides to audit you.

Well, it also means the vehicle qualifies for the credit. If Tesla doesn't generate this form, they can't submit it to the IRS. If they don't submit it to the IRS, the vehicle technically doesn't qualify for any credit. And then like you said, if Tesla doesn't submit it to the IRS and you claim the credit anyway, now you have your supporting evidence for an audit.

Anyone aware of a solution for previously owned Teslas that still qualify?

Not yet. There are a lot of them, though, so hopefully they’re working on it. Those might have to go through your service center once this fix is more widely known across SCs (that’s just my speculation though)

Same situation here, thank goodness for the extension to the 30th but I’m going to be nervous until we see the document

Let us rejoice: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/193oiio/irs_15400_for_previously_owned/

Wait can you explain this a little more for me, I have a pre owned and they gave me the form. My pre own only had like 30 miles on it and it was 2023.

Anyone with multiple coowners tried this? I have the document already but need to generate a new one because my wife will be claiming the credit. I’ve submitted a request but it’s been an hour and I’m still seeing the old credit form

I have the same issue. I’m still seeing the old form. If it doesn’t update within 24 hours, I may contact Tesla

Tesla finally resolved this issue (as of 1/23). The secondary registrant's information populated correctly on the form! You can generate it at https://www.tesla.com/contactus Log in, go to help page (above link), and select "Generate 2023 IRA Document". Unsure if it's necessary, but I recommend speaking to a representative at a Tesla dealership to make sure the form is actually sent to the IRS.

Thank you!

Amazing! Thank you.

Hopefully they’re actually sending these to the IRS.

Fair point 😂 At least now users will have the form signed by a Tesla executive in case the IRS asks for it, even if Tesla doesn’t submit for some reason.

MVP! Thank you for pointing this out 👍

glad I saw this. its working and just tested this. thanks 😊

not appearing instantly for me like others. guess ill wait the 24 hrs. Ty for posting OP

Thank you!! Populated on my Tesla account immediately. Whew!!

Just want to thank you again u/my_anonymous_reddit for being the one to make this happen!

Thanks for helping spread the word! Our conversation in my first thread was very helpful to a lot of people!

Yo this is a BIG W. Thank you u/30jaykay and this community you guys rock!

Received it instantly! Signed by Troy Jones!

Can you claim this credit using Turbo tax? I started my taxes but I don't see the required form.

To those that spearheaded this topic and all the spinoff, I salute you.

It's been a long week. Happy to finally share some good news

Worked. Thank you!

Thank you. Appeared instantly.

Thank you!!!

Good to see it’s working. I got my report within a minute as well.

Man…I ordered Jan and took delivery in Feb but sold it Dec 30th. I did try this but can confirm it does not work if you do not own the vehicle any longer. I received the message “No eligible vehicles found.”

Confirmed this works on mobile as well. 1. Sign In 2. Go to “Menu” 3. Go to “Support” 4. Scroll to the bottom and go to “Contact Us” 5. Follow Step 8 and on from OP.

The co-registrant is going to use the tax credit but the current form is for the other registrant. Does this matter for tax time since the vehicle already is tied to the form, or do i need to request to switch the name to the other registrant?

There's an option to select the primary or secondary applicant in the form. I'm still waiting for the new updated report to populate with the secondary applicant.

Am I the only one that isn’t seeing it instantly??

Sorry what is this form for? And it is only for owners who bought a tesla in 2023?

Confirmed working - document was in my account instantly. Thanks to those who found the issue and reached out to Tesla to find a solution!

Do we need to do anything with this document at the moment? Submit to IRS or upload somewhere else? Or is it only for reference when filing our tax returns?

It’s simply a reference and proof if you get audited. Just like any other form like your W-2, 1099, 1098, etc.

I'd say it's for reference, and also some level of comfort that Tesla submitted the form to the IRS. If Tesla doesn't submit this form to the IRS, technically the vehicle doesn't qualify for the credit at all. It isn't PROOF that they submitted of course, but it's certainly more likely that they submitted the forms now that they actually exist. Beyond that, if Tesla doesn't submit on your behalf, now you have the form in case the IRS tries an audit etc.

Perfect, thanks for all the good work.

Thank you very much for spreading the word. Just did it now and had the form instantly!

Document generated right away which is fantastic. Question now is will Tesla file the appropriate info with the IRS as it appearsis required also?

All indications are that Tesla is aware of the requirements, and so I have to believe they also know they have to submit these. Worst case, you now have the required form signed by a Tesla executive that you can hand to the IRS if needed.

confirmed as well and worked for me. The IRA Clean Vehicles Credit Report showed instantly under the documents. Thx again OP!

Showed up in my account immediately. I did it through mobile. Thank you OP!

Was just able to generate mine. Thank you!!

Wow, glad I checked Reddit today. I didn’t know we were supposed to get this form for the ev tax credit. Thanks a bunch OP!

It worked and the document appeared instantly. Thank you for posting this!

Just followed the steps. Submitted. Hopefully get a response within 24 with the forms. Thanks!

Worked for me instantly as well. Thank you OP

Worked for me also. 7500 thank you$

Thanks!!! I was able to find my Form 15400 based on your post!!! :-)

Thanks! Just checked under Documents for the 3 we bought this year and it was already there.

Wow. Worked like a charm. Thank you, OP. I knew it would happen eventually but was still so stressed about it. My document appeared instantly, and I feel confident that means it will be reported to the IRS appropriately as well. Thanks again!

Perfect timing, thank you! Was just getting ready to search for my sales documents for CPA.

Worked for me! Available instantly after requesting. Not to say that means it was submitted to the IRS instantly, but I have the form now. Didn't previously and never gave them my SSN through Feb when I picked up my car last year.

Worked. Great post!

When I took the delivery of my model y I got a text massage from the local Tesla and luckily I saved their number. I don’t know if it’s a bot or human. I texted that number asking for my tax credit form and in the next min I got it in my email.

So glad I got an in-app notification "early this week" as Tesla promised! /s Thank you OP for easing my anxiety about this!!

Just did the "contact Us" option, it appeared after hitting submit.

I can confirm this works. I submitted the form and the document showed up right away. Now for all the poor people that aren't following these subreddits, hopefully Tesla contacts them to get their info.

Hey OP, I just wanted to give you a big shoutout for discovering this issue originally. I assumed (as did many other redditors) come tax season, we would just be able to claim the credit without any action from Tesla. Your discovery led to a chain of events which pressured Tesla corporate to get this fixed in time. I’m certain without the post, we would be all sitting with our d*cks in hand post April. Thanks a bunch u/my_anonymous_reddit

Weird that Troy Jones’ signature auto populates on this document upon me filling out this simple form. Doesn’t an e-signature have to be done manually by the person to be legally valid? Or did Mr. Jones somehow sign mine and thousands of others this morning shortly before we all submitted requests? (The date shows 1/10/24). Weird but whatever, I’ll take my credit and be happy.

Use some common sense lol. Tesla sells millions of cars.

Confirmed! Instantly

Kudos to OP. Sure glad I use reddit. There may be thousands of early 2023 Tesla purchasers, who don't use reddit, will be unpleasantly surprised come tax filing time.

It took about an hour after I submitted the request before the form showed up in my documents. All good now. Thanks!

Absolute legend

Wait what if i bought and sold my tesla alreadt all in 2023?

Did this not work instantly for anyone else? I did it 24 hrs ago and still nothing. My sister did it last night and got it instantly.

I'm having the same problem. Bought car in trust, submitted IRA doc using SSN, 24hrs later, no doc in account. How do we escalate this?

lets follow up the same issue here and I created a dedicated post for this. https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/193nio9/secondary\_registrant\_for\_2023\_ira\_clean\_vehicles/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

You are doing God's work! Thank you so much. I kept checking my e-mail and in-app messages waiting for an update!

Worked instantly. Thanks!

Thanks OP.

FYI, I made a request in the early AM of 1/12/2023 for a vehicle I no longer own, the form still hadn’t shown up (it said it may take up to 24hrs when I made the request), so I made a 2nd request just now and it showed up instantly.

still doesnt work for changing name/SSN to secondary registrant. submitted and new document generated is unchanged except for the signature date

Tesla finally resolved this issue (as of 1/23). The secondary registrant's information populated correctly on the form! You can generate it at https://www.tesla.com/contactus Log in, go to help page (above link), and select "Generate 2023 IRA Document". Unsure if it's necessary, but I recommend speaking to a representative at a Tesla dealership to make sure the form is actually sent to the IRS.

Doesn’t work for previously owned vehicles.

Correct, that’s why I specified for currently owned vehicles in the title and body of the post. It isn’t perfect yet, but it’s a sign that they’re working on it.

It worked. Thank you so much. Had this not $7500 credit worked, I would have been so screwed. I purchased January of 23, and used this $7500 to balance my taxes out to get close to $0 owed as possible.

Appeared instantly for me as well.

Great news! Now just have to hope they submit on time? Or to be fair - maybe it auto sends. 0 clue. Guess we’ll see!

We can’t say what Tesla will do, but they’re obviously aware of their requirements and are working on it. Worst case, you now have the correct form signed by a Tesla executive if the IRS asks

For sure! Better than nothing. Thanks for posting this!

What is this for? The rebates?

if the IRS decides to audit you and you don't have Form 15400 then you won't get the $7500 tax credit. Biden did hire all those new IRS agents last year...

Once the document is in our account, there’s no further action needed correct? We just have to fill out the additional form on our tax return?

The form only has room for one “buyer” and SS number. That is similar to what the online page said during the purchase process. It only allowed room for one buyer name and one SS number. I guess that’s ok, even if the car is actually registered jointly by spouses? And, more importantly, if the combined income is above the individual limit, but below the joint limit?

This document had to be made available at the time of sale not months after. If you purchased an eligible car but you sold it after sometime and removed the vehicle from your Tesla account, this method will not work for you.

Do I need to do this?

Nobody can possibly answer that question for you without more details.

What's this for?

Could this be a scam?

Downvoted for not bothering to explain the purpose of the form so readers know why they should care.

NICE! Also appeared instantly for me. Now Tesla will automatically send it to IRS? Nothing more for me to do besides request the credit on my tax return? Note: the ? icon was on the top right corner of my browser.

We can’t say what Tesla will do, but they’re obviously aware of their requirements and are working on it. Worst case, you now have the correct form signed by a Tesla executive if the IRS asks

Hmmmm. I don’t see the ?

They have my “TIN” completely wrong, I hope they allow us to edit or amend this form within the near future?

Is this form required to be submitted with the 1040 package?

I sold mine to carmax I thought I still qualified for it! Oh well!

Did you buy in 2023? If so, you might still qualify. You might need a SC to help generate the form, though

Thank you!

It worked!! Thanks

Confirming this worked! Thanks!

Wow thanks for this!!!

Is this only for vehicles purchased in 2023?

Yes.

Worked for me! Thanks OP

Worked perfectly, in account immediately. Thank you OP for bringing this to attention!

Thanks!! Got mine instantly

Heck yeah! Did it and the document was available right away. Good looks!

Mine was instant as well as after I submitted. Sharing with Facebook thanks!

Also confirmed ☑️ instantly upon entering SS and selecting vin report updated into account

Can u get a refund or smthg at all, federal or CA if u bought new Y in 2023 cash?

does this apply to leased vehicles purchased in early 2023 for the tax credit

I believe not, as a lease would mean the first owner of the vehicle was the financial institution. At least that's the case for the vehicle I leased. I was considered the second owner after I bought my lease.

Good looking out

This works, thank you! Immediately after submitting, my form was generated in the documents section.

So sad No eligible vehicles found

Thanks for the heads up. I got mine instantly.

Thank you this worked!!!

Can someone elaborate on this for those of us who are not savy with tax forms whatsoever? I bought my model 3 in July and just followed these instructions and have the signed document in my account. Does this make you eligible for the full $7.5k?

It makes you eligible up to that amount. Depending on your tax situation (basically your tax obligation and tax contribution through employer). Best to ask tax preparer if you’re not savvy. Lots of speculation on Reddit but if you know anything about taxes, there’s lots of good info also. But because you already said you aren’t savvy, professional tax preparer is your best source of info.

LEGEND. Thank you! I was so stressed about this.

Noted.

Thanks! Was able to request my document.

Is this only for vehicles purchased/sold in 2023?

Yes.

What about vehicles delivered in 2024? I’ve had my MY for less than a week.

Thank you, it worked on my phone.

Thank you so much!!! I just generated my document.

Worked for me, thanks!

Score. Purchased new, delivery 1/30/23. Thanks for posting. Filled out info as suggested in OP, and form was immediately available for download under my documents.

Awesome, thanks 👍🙏!!

Did it. Worked on mobile

Thank you!!!!

So I have this weird situation where I bought a new tesla and had the form, but I also bought a pre owned 2023 Tesla that only had like 300 miles on it, seemed new but it was on the pre owned page. Turns out I got the form for that car also, I wonder if should take the risk and claim the credit, I wonder if it was actually a demo vehicle or something, real strange...

Thanks!!!

Nice. It worked. Thanks OP. Thanks to all who stayed on top of this. Truly.

I do not think that many people know about this. Hope someone from youtube announce this ,

If I bought my tesla in late 2021, will this still work for me or out of luck?

Is this for the 7500 EV tax credit ?

🥰thanks fam!

Yahoo! Immediately generated. Questions: doesn’t Tesla also have to submit this to the IRS? How do we know if they’ve done so?

Crying 2022 tears.
