Auto-rejection followed by phone call or protest to CODOR were typical in past years. Sounds like nothing's changed.
Anyway, Light-Duty Passenger Motor Vehicle is the answer unless it's registered to your business.
There was nothing wrong with my submission last year, but they auto rejected it anyway requiring me to follow up.
I don't imagine most have a FEIN ( federal employer identification number) or Colorado account unless you are filing for a business, estate etc. GWVR shouldn't matter for the...
I’m looking at EVPlay but holding off because of the Android Auto audio balance issues. Here’s how I think it could be solved cleanly:
Per-phone mixer profiles – EVPlay saves each phone’s call/media/Assistant levels and auto-restores them on reconnect.
Smart defaults – A release-installed...
I and many others in this thread got that GVWR denial. Most including myself sent in a picture of the door jamb label that shows VIN and GVWR, along with the purchase or lease contract and the other info they asked for in the denial letter. I remember one person in this thread saying they had...
https://tax.colorado.gov/contact-us-by-phone -> 303-238-7378, said "Agent" to the computer then hit 1,1,1,4,0 through the phone tree, then my SSN when prompted, then waited about 5 minutes on hold before it gave me the option to get a callback. I accepted and got a callback about an hour after I...
I decided to call them, and the guy looked over what I had submitted with the return and said it should be good enough for the EV credit team to review. He did suggest uploading the Monroney sticker so I went ahead and did that. But otherwise I apparently don't have to file a protest as he said...
I am happy to include my Bill of Sale in the protest, but nothing in the DR 0617 form instructions mentions needing that nor does the TPI-MA letter. Also if someone were to have leased, they should still be eligible for the tax credit but wouldn't have gotten a Bill of Sale.

New year, same story. I submitted my return on 3/2/25 and got a TPI-MA letter today 3/10/25 saying the DR 0617 credit was rejected. I have 30 days to file a protest.
Our 2022 was originally filed with TurboTax and I ran into the same conundrum. Not wanting the delay of a paper amendment filing was why I picked FreeTaxUSA for electronically amending. The pain point was the time entering my 2022 return manually in their system so it would generate a proper...
Agree, there isn't any limit to number of vehicles that I've heard of. In 2022 we bought a Leaf and signed the binding contract for the R1S. We got $7500 back upon the initial filing of 2022 taxes for the Leaf, and when our R1S was delivered this past January we filed 2022 1040X through...

Hopefully that works out for you. The GVWR<8500 law that would give $5k back also has an $80k MSRP limit, so wouldn't work for post-hike people such as myself.
