The Ford Form shown seems to say that MSRP needs to be below $55K, is that correct?

It says information. Not form.
Here are more details on that.
  • Sellers or dealers may also submit individual seller report copies of the Form 15400 or equivalent forms containing all required data the seller/dealer used in calendar year 2023. Sellers and dealers that used reasonable alternatives to Form 15400 in providing the required seller reports to buyers do not need to prepare the information in the Form 15400 format.

There is nowhere that the IRS tells the dealer to give the buyer Form 15400. You have provided several references which only restate what I have already stated...

I think this says to provide the form or the information on the form to the buyer."
My dealer provided a copy of the 15400 form to me.
That is how I read it.
If you have the information or the form that is all you should need.

Sellers and dealers that used reasonable alternatives to Form 15400 in providing the required seller reports to buyers do not need to prepare the information in the Form 15400 format."

Nope. It says very clearly that if the dealer used reasonable alternatives to 15400 to give the buyer the information, like the Ford supplied form, they can send that form into the IRS instead of completing the 15400.

This all sounds strange to me. I filed with FreeTaxUSA and added in my tax credit for the purchase and also for the charger install. I submitted my return like a week or two ago and the federal one has already been received and accepted by the IRS and is currently being processed. Of course that doesn't mean it's completed or that I've received my refund - but it's definitely not held up waiting for a form.

Intuit can't do programming until the form is approved. Then they program, and test. They're usually a bit later than most other companies. I believe the software is more robust than FreeTaxUSA.
