I have a client that purchased a used 2022 Tesla Model Y vehicle.

I e-filed tax return and it got rejected.

Error Detail: Schedule A (Form 8936) credit amount does not match the type of credit reported in E-file database.

Is there something I did wrong, or what does that mean? Anyone get this message before?

Thank you for that link. It does qualify. Even double checked the VIN. I'm at a loss.

when I look for that year model, I see this at the top of the table, did they buy it from a dealership or a private party? I think it has to be from a dealership that participates in the EV credit with IRS and they give the buyer a special form for it.

Attention: Not every version of the models listed below will necessarily qualify. Please check with the dealer/seller to determine the eligibility of your specific vehicle.
