Tesla ran out of credits in 2021 and were a bust for 2022, they brought back the credits in 2023 though. 

A 2022 Tesla bought in 2023, would qualify.

Is there any way you can do it by entering an adjustment on the line?

check their AGI - is it too high? We had 1 client this year for EV and it was a Tesla - their income was over the limit for the credit.

Tesla didn't qualify at all for 2022.  And there was no income limit in 2022.

Override to take a credit that doesn't exist?  

Really....

Tesla's did NOT qualify for 2022.  Period.  Full stop....

@maui doug - where'd you find documentation that your client's Tesla qualified?

#abc I don't waste time stating the obvious.

@taxes96786 

Yet you post a comment to "override"   

FOR a credit that doesn't exist.

I'm just making it obvious that what you suggest isn't correct or allowed.

Thank you for your reply

thank you for your reply

client said the salesman said it was good in 2022 - I then looked it up on Google but did'nt check if it was for the year 2022 then found out it Tesla Y qualifies in the year 2023 not 2022

I believe this has to be the first time a car salesman gave bad tax advice in order to sell a car😬
