Client purchased a new  qualifying electric vehicle on 9/3/2025 from a large GM auto dealership.    Auto dealership failed to file a “time of sale report” or “clean vehicle seller report” with the IRS.  Could the seller still file the required report today?  If not, is there anything that can be done to claim the Clean vehicle credit for the qualifying vehicle purchase?

    The dealership cannot file seller report late. I believe your clients only recourse is to see if dealer will reimburse client, because the IRS requires that report for the credit, and I don’t believe you can file an amended 2025 claiming the credit
