This notice sets forth interim
guidance, pending the issuance of regulations, relating to the new
qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle credit under § 30D
of the Internal Revenue Code, as in effect for vehicles acquired
after December 31, 2009. For tax years beginning after 2008, use
Form 8936 to figure your credit for qualified plug-in electric
drive motor vehicles you placed in service during your tax year.
The credit attributable to depreciable property (vehicles used for
business or investment purposes) is treated as a general business
credit. Any credit not attributable to depreciable property is
treated as a personal credit.

USC 30D Name of Law: Qualified Plug-in Electric Vehicle
Credit
Form 8936 is a tax credit for a
plug-in electric drive motor vehicle. There have been reports from
TIGTA that some taxpayers are claiming this credit who don't have a
qualified vehicle and should not receive the credit. As a result,
we added a new line for the taxpayer to enter the vehicle
identification number (VIN). The purpose of the new line is to
increase taxpayer compliance and reduce the number of erroneous
credits the IRS is issuing. The request for the VIN number will
result in an estimated burden increase of 53,000 hours
annually.
