  1. A2Z Adapter Recall: Typhoon v1 Exchange Program

    Will the Trump 25% tariff (and Canada's retaliatory tariff) apply to the exchange? I recently received my free Rivian adapter, so I'm now ready to initiate the recall exchange of my A2Z V1 Typhoon. But the exchange program URL is broken: https://a2zevshop.com/apps/vep EDIT: I got a quick...
  2. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    Rev. July 2021. I used TurboTax to fill out the forms to amend my '22 return, then mailed the paperwork. That's the version TurboTax filled out for me. Here's a link to the PDF 1040-X Rev. July 2021.
  3. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    If there's nothing in your letter about how to appeal or reply, maybe you can just start over and try again. (You can file more than one 1040-X for a given tax year.) Maybe file manually with paper documents the next time. Hopefully, a more astute agent will review whatever you decide to do...
  4. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    gultin, Sorry to hear that you got a rejection letter. First of all, in the eyes of the IRS, your new Rivian is a qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle, NOT a clean vehicle. The distinction may be important for your appeal. If Taxact actually used a version of form 8936 titled...
  5. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    In December of 2023, I used the 2022 edition of TurboTax to generate my 1040-X and form 8936. TurboTax used the January 2023 revision of 8936, which is the one you want. It has 2 columns for Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2, and NO QUESTIONS about MSRP or your income. On my 8936, line 3 showed...
  6. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    Although IRS agents may see things differently, I would argue that, in cases where the Transition Rule applies, the Clean Vehicle Seller Report is irrelevant and should not be necessary to qualify for a $7500 credit. Recall that Internal Revenue Bulletin 2023-16 contains the following...
  7. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    I did not attach any documents to my 1040X. To keep it simple, I wrote in the Explanation of Changes that I had entered into a written binding contract to buy a new Rivian EV on August 10, 2022, but didn't take delivery until Dec. 6, 2023. I naively assumed that everyone at the IRS was...

    Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    A PSA of sorts ... Another round of the (underfunded) $4000 Illinois EV rebate program will begin accepting applications in January of 2025. Illinois legislature allocated $14M to fund this round of the program. In this iteration of the program, applications must be postmarked no earlier than...
  9. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    Morphine, As I posted above on 9/25, I strongly suggest that you communicate to the IRS that you are filing in accordance with Internal Revenue Bulletin No. 2023-16, page 749, which describes section 13401(l) of the Inflation Reduction Act, otherwise known as the Transition Rule. You may ask...
  10. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    1) Yes, enter the correct model year that corresponds to your VIN. 2) Yes, it looks like a conflict, but you will be following the Transition Rule that congress and the IRS created. 3) Rev. January 2023 (for the 2022 tax year). And the correct version of Instructions for Form 8936 for the...
  11. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    Why is IRS paying so much interest? What's the algorithm? Are they using 8/15/22? ... or 4/18/23 due date for 2022 tax returns? Do you feel like IRS owed you a lot of interest because you should have gotten your tax credit a long time ago?
  12. Anyone know folks in Rivian Incentive/Tax credit department?

    Off topic, but I always assumed that Rivian set the GVWR for all R1 vehicles at 8532 lbs to avoid the law that requires disclosing US + Canadian content (link here) on the window sticker. But maybe the motive was to qualify the R1S for Mass (and other?) EV rebates. To the best of my...
  13. New Illinois Tax Credit July 1

    Latest: IL legislature allocated $14M to fund the EV rebate program during the current fiscal year (July 01 to June 30). They will open the next round of funding in "mid-January". As with prior rounds of the rebate program, the purchase date (delivery date) can be up to 90 days prior to your...
  14. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    That's consistent with my recollections. One would hope that Rivian kept a record of each e-signature (and date) that they received. My paper copy (printed from the PDF that Rivian emailed to me) has my hand-printed name and wet signature and has a Seller Signature that reads "E-Signed by...
  15. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    If you did not enter into a written binding contract with Rivian between 1/1/22 and 8/15/22, then the transition rule in the Inflation Reduction Act will not apply. You will claim the credit in the tax year that you put the vehicle in service (ie, took delivery). You will use the latest...
  16. Rumor of new battery size: Large+

    Just an observation ... battery size is NOT encoded in the 2025 Rivian VINs. That's a change from 2024 models where the 6th digit was B for large dual and C for max dual. 2025 MY VIN decoder 2024 MY VIN decoder
  17. Amended return rejected

    No. The 2022 version I used (Rev Jan 2023) is essentially identical to the 2021 version Rev Jan 2022 except for the words "and New Clean Vehicles" in the subtitle.
  18. Amended return rejected

    The 2022 version (Rev. Jan. 2023) with two columns ... Vehicle 1 and Vehicle 2. I prepared my 2022 amended return on TurboTax in late December of 2023 and that's the version TurboTax used. f8936--2022.pdf (irs.gov)
  19. Amended return rejected

    I want to reinforce what others have said. An IRS publication called the IRS Fact Sheet makes it very clear. A8: If you purchased or entered into a written binding contract to purchase a new clean vehicle after December 31, 2021, and before August 16, 2022, but took possession on or after...
  20. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    My initial (smart-a$$) reaction is that you won't find specific language in the law that says " ... and there is no restriction for taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income." Nor will you find specific language stating no restriction based on eye color at birth .... or whether your mother was...
