Yes, I think that's right. Perhaps they will ask for a submission with the tax form?Perhaps, but I'm not quite sure how they'd do that when the trigger for this scenario is whether the buyer had a binding order or not before they went on to complete the purchase and claim the tax credit. It just doesn't seem like a detail that would exist anywhere in a database for the IRS computers to find it. I think it's usually just the sale (and subsequent registration) itself that gets recorded in state or federal databases.
They will probably have a decent sense too. Like for example, Rivian and Fisker offered the same contract for everyone. If, for example, they make an internal decision that neither of those contracts qualify, they could probably easily have their system flag a Rivian or Fisker VIN as being claimed for the grandfathered tax credit when it should not be.
Other companies just wouldn't offer a contract at all without the car present. I think BMW had a blanked policy for this, so if someone claims a Bimmer VIN, same story for the IRS.
