Does the Nissan Leaf 2023 qualify for the electric vehicle credit for tax year 2023? If so, where does the credit amount go on form 8936?

I have a client that purchased the Nissan Leaf 2023 last year, she was told by Nissan that she could receive a credit of $7500. I entered all the information on Schedule A form 8936, but the credit amount is not populating, I investigated on the IRS website and the only models that appear eligible for the credit are the 2023 Leaf S and the 2023 Leaf SV Plus. I just want to make sure before I tell her.

Did you confirm the date of purchase meets the requirements, which changed during 2023. Did you confirm this model does qualify, or does not qualify?

"she was told by Nissan that she could receive a credit of $7500"

Does anyone believe a dealership would not mislead the buyer to close a sale? Come on, raise your hand.

The car is new, and it was purchased in June 2023.

The dealer was required to give her a form/statement that tell her the amount of the tentative credit.

If the vehicle does qualify, are you typing the amount of the tentative credit (usually $7500) on the appropriate line?

The dealer did provide a statement, I am not sure, what line should I be using for the credit? It is a personal use car and every line I try placing the credit on I get an error message.

The 8936-Schedule A, line 9.

Don't forget to check the box on line 1 and fill out part 1.
