I did not notice the email which was sent in Aug regarding tax credit eligibility. Just wondering how to enroll now? When I click the link now it is asking me to check with tax consultant. Any suggestions?

Thank you

It’s not possible. The window to sign that binding contract agreement was fleetingly short. It had to be signed before the Inflation Reduction Act was put into law on August 16th, 2022.

ask your dealer. Maybe they can back date it.

Please don't feel bad I missed it by a couple of days! You would have thought a company as big as Nissan would have set up a robocall to all their reservation holders notifying them of the email. When I first reserved the car in Nov 2021 I chose the various options based on the $7500 rebate. So I have decided to reserve a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq that will come with the rebate. So now the Ariya would cost more than the Cadillac. It seems the all-wheel drive Ariya models will not be delivered until early summer next year, so about the same time the Cadillac is expected to be delivered. I am hoping that Nissan offers some kind of dealer/factory incentive program for those who reserved the Ariya before the massive change in the EV tax rebates.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I thought Cadillac Lyriq more expensive 63000−7500 which is $55500. If I remember correctly I booked evolve plus around 48k

As of this time the Lyriq does not qualify for 2023 tax credit do the vehicle class price limit ($55k).

People. As of now, no matter if you signed a binding agreement, if you go to IRS website and put you VIN # it says not elegible. Made in Japan. That binding agreement is worthless unless you went to dealer and signed your name on the dotted line. Read the fine print. It’s trying to get you rebate but no garentee you will get it.

Consult a tax adviser about the validity of the binding agreement, but you're mistaken about the IRS website and manufacture requirement. The whole point of the binding agreement was to allow people to qualify for the transition rule - basically, to qualify under the old rules which had no location of manufacture requirement.

Not going to take the risk. It's $7500, not $750. went with the TMY instead.

I’m gonna laugh at you you people who think they’re gonna get a 7500.00 rebate. When you do your taxes it’s gonna say not eligible. And those who do get it, are gonna be shocked when IRS sends you a bill. Read the eligibility. Battery made in USA. Car made in USA. Fine print on binding agreement says they did this to put you in the position to get rebate, but they don’t garentee you’re gonna get it.

Nissan had 30k cars left to sell under the old law. In Aug. Biden signed the new law. Nissan sent Emails out saying we’re sending a binding agreement to cover buyers who might be covered on old law, but read fine print. Unless the governments changes the rules, you’re not eligible. Hope all you want… it’s not gonna happen.

When you go to dealer ask if you will get 7500.00. They will not give you the answer you want to hear. Because they don’t no. And they won’t say yes because they now become liable.

Well they won't be sending some of us a bill. Some have paid well more than enough federal tax and then some so that they are actually due a refund whether they apply for the credit or not. The question for them will be whether they receive a refund or a bigger refund. For those in that situation, there's nothing to lose by applying for the tax credit -- you get your refund or you get your bigger refund. 😄

Also as some have already suggested, if you haven't paid enough federal tax you just file (form 1040) without the EV tax credit and fulfill your tax liability first, then amend it (form 1040x) later with the EV tax credit. IRS either accepts the amended form 1040x with extra EV refund or rejects it without - There's nothing to lose.

You should really re-read the transition rule in particular. Whether it applies for those of us that took delivery in 2023, and whether Nissan's binding agreement is sufficient, is still up in the air, but cars with binding agreement delivered in 2022 and whose manufacturer still had some alotment under the old rules, whether they are made in the USA or not, and regardless of where the batteries are made and materials sourced, definitely do qualify.

Nissan, last I checked, and their dealerships are not in the business of advising people on their taxes. So yes, I don't expect them to start doing that any time soon.
