Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

[Tim-in-CA]

Confirmed with the IRS that my Adjutsment was $0. Regarding Form 8936, I am curious why some of you refer to putting in 2 dates: In Service AND Purchase or Delivery date? On Form 8936 I only see the In Service date needed. Am I missing something? I used 8/15/22. I am pretty sure I did everything exactly the same as everyone else.

For some reason the fact that Rivian models from 2023 are not on the IRS list has hung us up despite the fact that the Transition Rule allows you to follow pre-8/16/22 requirements.

Spoke with my Rivian guide about it and this was his response:
"I've consulted with leadership and concluded we cannot provide an answer as to why our 2023 models are not on the list since Rivian has done its due diligence to submit information for our vehicles to the IRS. It may be due to the critical mineral and battery component requirements to qualify for the credit based on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. However, I am unable to provide much information outside of that."

That really sucks! I'll be getting my R1S in a few weeks and will be amending my return as well. I hope that they get this straightened out for you and others.

...It may be due to the critical mineral and battery component requirements to qualify for the credit based on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. ....

The old rule, where the binding letter we signed is supposed to qualify for, has no provision for critical mineral and battery components as responded by the guide.

I would ignore the response and figure out why did not go through. The fact that other have received the tax credit via amendment, says it was recent action.

Perhaps IRS is viewing this as a loophole that they can close, and have done so. However, I would be extremely surprised if that is the case, given IRS efficiencies and speed.

Is there an appeal?

My Amended return says the same on IRS website right now. I received a check last week (6/24), which was little odd since I put my account for direct deposited.

05/22/2023 - Received
06/23/2023 - Adjusted - Your account was adjusted on June 23, 2023. Within three weeks, you will receive a notice that explains the adjustment.

My amended return is stuck in "Accepted" status since April 27th.

Does this mean it was denied?

Hopefully just means your check is in the mail.

Our amended 2022 return claiming the tax credit was disallowed by the IRS. Any one else getting denied? I am assuming it is because the model year is 2023? Signed the contract on 8/15/22, took delivery May 7, 2023.

Mine was accepted and paid with interest. My VIN is 2023 too (March build).

Looks like mine is still hung up as well. Checked the IRS website this morning and had a message that i was instructed to contact them and have a copy of my amended return available. This totally blows.....

E filed using TurboTax. Didn’t upload any documents.

Same here. Now an f-ing snag with the IRS.

Here is the latest as of 07/03/2023:
Contacted IRS as instructed with a copy of my amended return available and waited 30 minutes. Spoke to a nice gentleman who check the status of my amended return. Wait was an additional 7 minutes.

The good news is first that I am not going to jail for the amended return LOL

Second, the automated message to contact the IRS triggers only if the 16 weeks had passed since the filing date of the amended return. In my case, 03/06/2023. The "Where is my amended return?" site did indicate that it can take up to 20 weeks for the amended return to be processed and mine is still processing and 20 weeks will be on 07/24/2023.

Watch this space.....

You were right. The check arrived in the mail today. WooHoo!!! Thanks everyone.

Just a warning to everyone not to worry. When you get your check, you will also get at least 2 additional mailings from the IRS either at the same time or a few days later. Each time I was sweating an audit or something but they basically said they accepted your amended filing.

Just submitted mine today using TurboTax, I put in my bank info so I’m hoping it will be direct deposited!

I got a check, even though I opted for direct deposit.

 

[WooHoo!]

The IRS should now properly give you the credit for purchases with a binding contract dated before 8/16/23, so if you're appealing, keep pushing.

I say this because it appears Rivian has now informed the IRS that the 2023 models purchased prior to 8/16/22 are eligible for credit.

This is based on 2023 having been recently added to this list on the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/credits-deducti...d-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2022-and-before

A big THANK YOU to Rivian's finance people! And to fellow forum members to identifying this problem.
