Both private citizens and their companies are eligible for the credit. In order to be eligible, you had to:
- Purchase it for your own use only—not to resell.
- Use it mostly in the United States.
- Furthermore, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is limited to the following:
- $300,000 for surviving spouses or married couples filing jointly
- $225,000 for household heads
- $150,000 to every additional filer
Your adjusted AGI is valid starting the year you acquire possession of the car or, if it is less than one year, from the previous year. You are eligible to get the credit if, in one of the two years, your adjusted AGI falls below the cutoff.
You cannot receive a larger credit amount than what you owe in taxes if you choose not to transfer the credit. Instead, it will be nonrefundable when you file your taxes. Any excess credit cannot be carried over to subsequent tax years.
