My Mach E just arrived at the dealer. What does the certification letter for the EV credit need to state?

If you’re talking about the federal tax credit, you don’t need any letter.

Thank you, I was reading online and it said I needed some certification letter. Ford and the dealer are clueless.

Best place is to check the IRS website. The information that explains now to claim the incentive can be found there.

They're clueless because whatever you read is nonsense.

This is what I’m looking for. It’s right out of the IRS document. But, I’m assuming some of you got the credit without this letter?

That just means that Ford has certified to the IRS that your vehicle meets the requirements. They “should” be able to provide you with proof of that, but it’s by no means necessary. The IRS knows that the vehicle qualifies.

You don't need the letter. Here's the list of certified cars: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/irc-30d-new-qualified-plug-in-electric-drive-motor-vehicle-credit

Here's Ford's list:

Edit: Nevermind, this list is pointless. This is only for purchases that happen after 1/1/2023

What you need is turbotax, when it asks you if you have purchased an electric vehicle click yes

Or any other tax software.

Incorrect. The list is valid TODAY. Do you think a 2012 Ford Focus is being bought new in 2023? First Ford on the list.

OP needs NOTHING. Just file your taxes and fill out form 8936.

I did my 2021 taxes and claimed my 2021 Mach-E. 3rd vehicle getting a credit. My 2022 is my 4th.
