For purposes of the expiring clean vehicle credits under sections 25E, 30D, and 45W, what does \u201cacquired\u201d mean?<\/strong><\/p><p>For purposes of sections 25E, 30D, and 45W, a vehicle is \u201cacquired\u201d as of the date a written binding contract is entered into and a payment has been made. A payment includes a nominal downpayment or a vehicle trade-in.<\/p><p><strong>3. What effect does \u201cacquisition\u201d of a vehicle have on a taxpayer\u2019s ability to claim a credit under sections 25E, 30D, and 45W?<\/strong><\/p><p>Acquiring a vehicle prior to the termination date is an initial step, but acquisition alone does not immediately entitle a taxpayer to a credit.\u00a0 Sections 25E(a), 30D(a), and 45W(a) require the vehicle be \u201cplaced in service\u201d to claim the respective credit (see IRS.gov for additional requirements).\u00a0 If a taxpayer acquires a vehicle by having a written binding contract in place and a payment made on or before September 30, 2025, then the taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit when they place the vehicle in service (namely, when they take possession of the vehicle), even if the vehicle is placed in service after September 30, 2025. Taxpayers should receive a time of sale report from the dealer at the time they take possession or within three days of taking possession of the vehicle.<\/p><p><strong>4. Can an election to transfer a clean vehicle credit be made at the time of acquisition?<\/strong><\/p><p>Acquisition alone does not immediately entitle a taxpayer to a credit. Taxpayers should wait until the time of sale to make the credit transfer election. The election to transfer the credit generally occurs at the time of sale, which is when the taxpayer takes possession (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/links-1.govdelivery.com\/CL0\/https:%2F%2Fwww.federalregister.gov%2Fdocuments%2F2024%2F05%2F06%2F2024-09094%2Fclean-vehicle-credits-under-sections-25e-and-30d-transfer-of-credits-critical-minerals-and-battery\/1\/01000198ce4272b8-ec2caf02-ed6a-4147-a986-dce0ce11bbd0-000000\/LnpPL26aYHQtf_6HN_Bz9Gw9bjNd-Lz2ACaSWIhxu3U=419\">Treas.

What will happen to the Energy Credits Online portal with the new termination periods for the clean vehicle credits?<\/strong><\/p><p>New user registration for the Clean Vehicle Credit program through the Energy Credits Online portal will close on September 30, 2025.\u00a0 The portal will remain open beyond September 30, 2025, for limited usage by previously registered users to submit time of sale reports and updates to such reports, such as when a vehicle has been returned.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>6. For purposes of the energy efficient home improvement credit under section 25C, are qualified manufacturers required to make periodic written reports to the IRS regarding specified property?<\/strong><\/p><p>No.\u00a0 Because of the accelerated termination of the section 25C credit, periodic written reports, including reporting for property placed in service before January 1, 2026, are no longer required.\u00a0 A manufacturer is still required to register with the IRS to become a qualified manufacturer for its specified property to be eligible for the credit.<\/p><p><strong>7. For purposes of the residential clean energy credit under section 25D, can a credit be claimed for property installed after December 31, 2025, or constructed after that date, if a taxpayer pays for the property on or before December 31, 2025?<\/strong><\/p><p>No. Section 25D(e)(8)(A) provides that an expenditure with respect to an item is treated as made when the original installation of the item is completed.\u00a0 If installation is completed after December 31, 2025, the expenditure will be treated as made after December 31, 2025, which will prevent the taxpayer from claiming the section 25D credit. In the case of an expenditure made in connection with the construction or reconstruction of a structure, section 25D(e)(8)(B) provides that such expenditure will be treated as made when the original use of the constructed or reconstructed structure by the taxpayer begins. If such construction or reconstruction is completed and taxpayer\u2019s original use of the structure begins after December 31, 2025, the expenditure will be treated as made after December 31, 2025, which will prevent the taxpayer from claiming the section 25D credit.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d118bbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d118bbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72f0202 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"72f0202\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/randetaxaccounting.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor-pro\/assets\/css\/widget-theme-elements.min.css\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.\u00a0 Which energy credits and deductions are expiring under One Big Beautiful Bill, and what are their new termination dates?
