Register your dealership to enable credits for clean vehicle buyers

 

Clean vehicle dealers and sellers must use this online tool to register with the IRS. Licensed dealers can also register to receive advance payments to offset the amount of a tax credit that was applied toward a customer's purchase price.

Please note: At this time, you can only register your business. We'll expand the tool to allow time-of-sale reports before January 1, 2024, reporting requirement date. Once available, all time-of-sale reports must be submitted through this tool.

Please check back for information about upcoming tool updates.

What you will need

The IRS uses ID.me, a technology provider, to provide identity verification and sign-in services.

  • If you have an ID.me account, sign in using your existing account.
  • If you're a new user, have your photo identification ready. Verify your personal identity – not your business information – with ID.me.

Once you sign in, follow the instructions to register your business. You'll need to be an authorized representative of the business with the following pieces of information:

  • Your business's employer ID number (EIN)
  • Business name and address
  • If you're a licensed dealer that will receive advance payments, your dealership's license number and bank routing and account numbers

You'll use the business tax account application to complete this registration. See below for a detailed user guide and other information that might help you through this process.

Who can use this

Dealers and sellers of clean vehicles must use this online tool to register and report clean vehicle sales that occur on or after January 1, 2024. This includes manufacturers who sell directly to customers.

Once registered, dealers and sellers must use this tool to furnish required information to the IRS for those vehicles to be eligible for a credit under IRC 30D (and for the buyers to receive credits).

A licensed dealer will be able to receive advance payments 15 days after registering.
