Part III – Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous

Submission of Information to IRS by Qualified Manufacturers of Clean Vehicles,
Previously-Owned Clean Vehicles, and Commercial Clean Vehicles; Submission of
Information to IRS by Sellers of Clean Vehicles and Previously-Owned Clean Vehicles

Rev. Proc. 2022-42

SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This revenue procedure sets forth the procedures under § 30D(d)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (Code) for qualified manufacturers to enter into a written agreement with
the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate (Secretary) under which such
manufacturer agrees to make periodic written reports to the Secretary providing vehicle
identification numbers and such other information related to each vehicle manufactured
by such manufacturer that is eligible for a clean vehicle credit as the Secretary may
require. Vehicles eligible for the clean vehicle credit under § 30D of the Code (§ 30D
credit), the credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles under § 45W of the Code
(§ 45W credit), and vehicles eligible for the credit for previously-owned clean vehicles
under § 25E of the Code (§ 25E credit), respectively, generally must be manufactured

by a qualified manufacturer as described in § 30D(d)(1)(C) and (d)(3). 1 See
§§ 45W(c)(1) and 25E(c)(1)(D)(i). This revenue procedure also provides the
procedures for persons selling vehicles to report the information required to be reported
to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order for a vehicle to be eligible for the clean
vehicle credit under § 30D or § 25E.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 Section 30D, Clean Vehicle Credit
(1) Section 30D was originally enacted by § 205(a) of the Energy Improvement and
Extension Act of 2008, Division B of Public Law 110-343, 122 Stat. 3765, 3835 (October
3, 2008), to provide a credit for purchasing and placing in service new qualified plug-in
electric drive motor vehicles. Section 30D has been amended several times since its
enactment, most recently by § 13401 of Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August
16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). In general,
the amendments made by § 13401 of the IRA to § 30D apply to vehicles placed in
service after December 31, 2022, except as provided in § 13401(k)(2) through (5) of the
IRA.
(2) As amended by § 13401(b) of the IRA, § 30D(d)(1)(G) requires, as of August
Section 30D(d)(6) defines a new clean vehicle to include any new qualified fuel cell motor vehicle (as
defined in § 30B(b)(3)) that meets the requirements of § 30D(1)(G) and (H). Section 25E(c) defines a
previously-owned clean vehicle to include, in part, a motor vehicle that either (1) meets the requirements
of § 30D(d)(1)(C) (regarding qualified manufacturer), or (2) satisfies the requirements of § 30B(b)(3)(A)
and (B) (regarding fuel cell motor vehicles) and has a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000
pounds. Therefore, if a new clean vehicle is a new qualified fuel cell motor vehicle described in
§ 30D(d)(6), it does not need to be made by a qualified manufacturer, as otherwise required under
§ 30D(d)(1)(C). Similarly, if a previously-owned clean vehicle is a fuel cell motor vehicle described in
§ 25E(c)(1)(D)(ii), it does not need to be made by a qualified manufacturer, as otherwise required under
§ 25E(c)(1)(D)(i). However, any qualified manufacturer that makes fuel cell vehicles must report on such
vehicles as described in sections 4.02 and 6 of this revenue procedure. In addition, any manufacturer of
fuel cell vehicles that is not subject to the requirement to be a qualified manufacturer is encouraged to
become a qualified manufacturer for purposes of providing the IRS with information to facilitate tax
administration.

17, 2022, any vehicle eligible for the § 30D credit to undergo final assembly in North
America. Section 30D(d)(5) defines “final assembly” as the process by which a
manufacturer produces a new clean vehicle at, or through the use of, a plant, factory, or
other place from which the vehicle is delivered to a dealer or importer with all
component parts necessary for the mechanical operation of the vehicle included with
the vehicle, whether or not the component parts are permanently installed in or on the
vehicle.
(3) As amended by § 13401(c)(1) of the IRA, § 30D(d)(1) defines a “new clean
vehicle” as a motor vehicle that satisfies the following eight requirements set forth in
§ 30D(d)(1)(A) through (H):
(a) The original use of the motor vehicle must commence with the taxpayer.
(b) The motor vehicle must be acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not
for resale.
(c) The motor vehicle must be made by a qualified manufacturer.
(d) The motor vehicle must be treated as a motor vehicle for purposes of title II of
the Clean Air Act.
(e) The motor vehicle must have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than
14,000 pounds.
(f) The motor vehicle must be propelled to a significant extent by an electric
motor that draws electricity from a battery that has a capacity of not less than 7 kilowatt
hours and is capable of being recharged from an external source of electricity.
(g) The final assembly of the motor vehicle must occur within North America.
(h) The person who sells any vehicle to the taxpayer must furnish a report to the

3

taxpayer and to the Secretary, at such time and in such manner as the Secretary
provides, containing the following items:
(i) The name and taxpayer identification number of the taxpayer;
(ii) The vehicle identification number of the vehicle, unless, in accordance with
any applicable rules promulgated by the Secretary of Transportation, the vehicle is not
assigned such a number;
(iii) The battery capacity of the vehicle;
(iv) Verification that original use of the vehicle commences with the taxpayer;
(v) The maximum credit under § 30D allowable to a taxpayer with respect to
the vehicle (the amount reported is without regard to the § 30D(f)(10) or § 25E(b)
limitations based on modified adjusted gross income; and
(vi) In the case of a taxpayer who makes an election to transfer the credit to an
eligible entity under § 30D(g)(1), 2 any amount described in § 30D(g)(2)(C) that has been
provided to such taxpayer.
(4) As amended by § 13401(c)(1) of the IRA, §§ 30D(d)(1)(C) and 30D(d)(3)
replace the term “manufacturer” with “qualified manufacturer” applicable to vehicles
placed in service after December 31, 2022. 3 Section 30D(d)(3) defines a “qualified
manufacturer” as any manufacturer (within the meaning of the regulations prescribed by
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for purposes of the
administration of title II of the Clean Air Act (as defined in 42 U.S.C. §§ 7521, et seq )
that enters into a written agreement with the Secretary under which such manufacturer

Amendments to § 30D to allow an election to transfer the credit to an eligible entity are effective for
vehicles placed in service after December 31, 2023.

agrees to make periodic written reports to the Secretary (at such times and in such
manner as the Secretary may provide) providing vehicle identification numbers and
such other information related to each vehicle manufactured by such manufacturer as
the Secretary may require. Section 30D(d)(6) provides that “new clean vehicle”
includes any new qualified fuel cell motor vehicle (as defined in § 30B(b)(3)) that meets
the requirements under § 30D(d)(1)(G) and (H).
(5) Section 30D(e)(1)(A) provides that the critical minerals requirement with
respect to the battery from which the electric motor of a vehicle draws electricity is
satisfied if the percentage of the value of the applicable critical minerals (as defined in
§ 45X(c)(6) of the Code) contained in such battery that were (i) extracted or processed
in the United States, or in any country with which the United States has a free trade
agreement in effect, or (ii) recycled in North America, is equal to or greater than the
applicable percentage (as certified by the qualified manufacturer, in such form or
manner as prescribed by the Secretary). The applicable percentage for the critical
minerals requirement is set forth in § 30D(e)(1)(B)(i) through (v) and varies based on
when the vehicle is placed in service. In the case of a vehicle placed in service after the
date proposed guidance is issued and before January 1, 2024, the applicable
percentage is 40 percent. In the case of a vehicle placed in service during calendar
year 2024, 2025, and 2026, the applicable percentage is 50 percent, 60 percent, and
70 percent, respectively. In the case of a vehicle placed in service after December 31,
2026, the applicable percentage is 80 percent.
(6) Section 30D(e)(2)(A) provides that the battery components requirement with
respect to the battery from which the electric motor of a vehicle draws electricity is

5

satisfied if the percentage of the value of the components contained in such battery that
were manufactured or assembled in North America is equal to or greater than the
applicable percentage (as certified by the qualified manufacturer, in such form or
manner as prescribed by the Secretary). The applicable percentage for the battery
components requirement is set forth in § 30D(e)(2)(B)(i) through (vi) and varies based
on when the vehicle is placed in service. In the case of a vehicle placed in service after
the date proposed guidance is issued and before January 1, 2024, the applicable
percentage is 50 percent. In the case of a vehicle placed in service during calendar
year 2024 or 2025, the applicable percentage is 60 percent. In the case of a vehicle
placed in service during calendar year 2026, 2027, and 2028, the applicable percentage
is 70 percent, 80 percent, and 90 percent, respectively. In the case of a vehicle placed
in service after December 31, 2028, the applicable percentage is 100 percent.
(7) Section 13401(k)(3) of the IRA provides that the critical minerals and the
battery components requirements apply to vehicles placed in service after the date on
which proposed guidance with respect to the critical minerals and the battery
components requirements is issued by the Secretary. Such guidance is described in
§ 30D(e)(3)(B). 4
(8) Section 30D(f)(11)(A) provides that no credit is allowed for a vehicle with a
manufacturer's suggested retail price in excess of the applicable limitation.
Section 30D(f)(11)(B) provides that the applicable limitation for each vehicle
classification is as follows: in the case of a van, a sport utility vehicle, or a pickup truck,
$80,000; and in the case of any other vehicle, $55,000.
Section 8 of this revenue procedure confirms that the issuance of this revenue procedure is not the
issuance of the proposed guidance described in § 30D(e)(3)(B).

.02 Section 25E, Previously-Owned Clean Vehicles Credit
(1) Section 13402 of the IRA added § 25E to the Code, which is generally effective
for vehicles acquired after December 31, 2022, and before January 1, 2033 (except the
election to transfer of the credit to an eligible entity is effective for vehicles acquired
after December 31, 2023). Section 25E(a) provides that in the case of a qualified buyer
who during a taxable year places in service a previously-owned clean vehicle, an
income tax credit is allowed for the taxable year equal to the lesser of (1) $4,000, or
(2) the amount equal to 30 percent of the sale price with respect to such vehicle (that is,
the § 25E credit).
(2) Section 25E(c) defines certain terms for purposes of the § 25E credit. Section
25E(c)(1) defines “previously-owned clean vehicle” as, with respect to a taxpayer, a
motor vehicle that satisfies the following four requirements set forth in § 25E(c)(1)(A)
through (D):
(a) The model year of the motor vehicle is at least 2 years earlier than the
calendar year in which the taxpayer acquires such vehicle.
(b) The original use of the motor vehicle commences with a person other than
the taxpayer.
(c) The motor vehicle is acquired by the taxpayer in a qualified sale.
(d) The motor vehicle:
(i) meets the requirements of § 30D(d)(1)(C), (D), (E), (F), and (H) (except for
§ 30D(d)(1)(H)(iv)), or
(ii) is a motor vehicle that:
(A) satisfies the requirements under § 30B(b)(3)(A) and (B), and

7

(B) has a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds.
(3) Section 25E(c)(2) defines a “qualified sale” as a sale of a motor vehicle (A) by a
dealer (as defined in § 30D(g)(8)), (B) for a sale price that does not exceed $25,000,
and (C) that is the first transfer since August 16, 2022, to a qualified buyer other than
the person with whom the original use of such vehicle commenced.
(4) Section 25E(c)(3) defines “qualified buyer” as, with respect to a sale of a motor
vehicle, a taxpayer (A) who is an individual, (B) who purchases such vehicle for use and
not for resale, (C) with respect to whom no deduction is allowable with respect to
another taxpayer under § 151 of the Code, and (D) who has not been allowed a § 25E
credit for any sale during the 3-year period ending on the date of the sale of such
vehicle.
(5) Section 25E(c)(4) defines “motor vehicle” and “capacity” to have the meaning
given such terms in § 30D(d)(2) and (4), respectively.
03. Section 45W, Credit for Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicles
(1) Section 13403(a) of the IRA added new § 45W to the Code, which is effective
for vehicles acquired after December 31, 2022, and before January 1, 2033. A taxpayer
can claim a § 45W credit for purchasing and placing in service a qualified commercial
clean vehicle, as defined in § 45W(c), during the taxable year. The amount of the
§ 45W credit is the lesser of (1) 15 percent of the taxpayer’s basis in the vehicle
(30 percent in the case of a vehicle not powered by a gasoline or diesel internal
combustion engine), or (2) the incremental cost of the vehicle. Under § 45W(b)(4), the
credit is limited to $7,500 in the case of a vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating
of less than 14,000 pounds, and $40,000 for all other vehicles.

8

(2) Under § 45W(c), a “qualified commercial clean vehicle” is defined as any
vehicle that is of a character subject to the allowance for depreciation that:
(a) meets the requirement under § 30D(d)(1)(C) of being made by a qualified
manufacturer and is acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not for resale,
(b) either:
(i) meets the requirement under § 30D(d)(1)(D) of being treated as a motor
vehicle for purposes of title II of the Clean Air Act and is manufactured primarily for use
on public streets, roads, and highways (not including a vehicle operated exclusively on
a rail or rails), or
(ii) is mobile machinery, as defined in § 4053(8) (including vehicles that are not
designed to perform a function of transporting a load over the public highways), and
(c) either:
(i) is propelled to a significant extent by an electric motor that draws electricity
from a battery that has a capacity of not less than 15 kilowatt hours (or, in the case of a
vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds, 7 kilowatt
hours) and is capable of being recharged from an external source of electricity, or
(ii) is a motor vehicle that satisfies the requirements under § 30B(b)(3)(A) and
(B) of being a new qualified fuel cell motor vehicle.
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS

9

prescribed by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for purposes of
the administration of title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521, et seq.).
.03 Model Year. The term “model year” means the model year determined under the
Clean Air Act Regulations (see 40 CFR 86-082-2).
SECTION 4. QUALIFIED MANUFACTURER’S WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND
REPORTING
.01 Written Agreement.
(1) To meet certain statutory requirements of § 30D, § 25E, and § 45W, any
manufacturer (within the meaning of the Clean Air Act Regulations) may enter into a
written agreement with the Secretary to become a qualified manufacturer as defined in
§ 30D(d)(3) by providing the IRS a statement signed by a person currently authorized to
bind the taxpayer in these matters, in the following form:
“For purposes of establishing [insert legal name of the manufacturer] as a
qualified manufacturer as described in § 30D(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, [insert legal name of the manufacturer] hereby agrees to make periodic
written reports to the Internal Revenue Service providing vehicle identification
numbers and such other information as described in any guidance that may
be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary’s delegate
(Secretary), including section 4.02 of Revenue Procedure 2022-42, related to

requirements of § 30D(d)(1)(C) unless a qualified manufacturer submits a written report
containing the information required by section 4.02 of this revenue procedure with
respect to such vehicle. For the purposes of § 25E, a qualified manufacturer must
submit a written report or reports containing the information required by section 4.02 of
this revenue procedure with respect to prior model year vehicles for such vehicle to be
considered a previously-owned clean vehicle, to the extent such information has not
already been provided for purposes of § 30D and/or § 45W. In addition, any
manufacturer of fuel cell vehicles that is not subject to the requirement to be a qualified
manufacturer is encouraged to become a qualified manufacturer for purposes of
providing the IRS with information to facilitate tax administration.

For motor vehicles for which such certification has not already been provided for purposes of § 30D
and/or § 45W.

13

an electric motor that draws electricity from a battery that has a capacity of not less than
15 kilowatt hours (or, in the case of a vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating of
less than 14,000 pounds, 7 kilowatt hours) and is capable of being recharged from an

(5) Attestation Required. Each written report must include: a declaration,
applicable to the certification, statements, and any accompanying documents, signed by
a person currently authorized to bind the qualified manufacturer (or, in the case of a
foreign vehicle manufacturer, its domestic distributor) in these matters, in the following
form: “Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification,
including accompanying documents, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the
facts presented in support of this certification are true, correct, and complete.”
.03 Taxpayer's Reliance. A taxpayer who acquires a “new clean vehicle,” a

14

“previously-owned clean vehicle” for which the seller provides a clean vehicle seller
report, or a “qualified commercial clean vehicle” and places it in service may rely on the
manufacturer’s certification concerning the manufacturer’s status as a qualified
manufacturer (including in cases in which the certification is received by the IRS after
the purchase of the vehicle). A taxpayer also may rely on the information and
certifications contained in the qualified manufacturer’s written reports for the tax credit
allowed under §§ 30D, 25E, and 45W.
.04 Erroneous Written Reports. Any acknowledgment that the IRS provides for a
written report, including a qualified manufacturer’s certifications under §§ 30D, 45W,
and 25E, is not a determination that a motor vehicle or mobile machinery qualifies for
the credit under the respective Code sections.
SECTION 5. SELLER’S REPORTS
.01 Required Reports under Sections 30D and 25E. For purposes of § 30D(d)(1)(H),
the person who sells any vehicle to the taxpayer or, for purposes of § 25E(c)(1)(D)(i),
the dealer (as defined in § 30D(g)(8)) who sells any vehicle to the taxpayer, as
applicable, (collectively, Seller) must furnish a report to the taxpayer and the IRS, at
such time and in such manner as the Secretary provides containing information that is
listed in this section 5.01. Accordingly, for vehicle sales occurring in calendar year 2023
or later, the Seller must provide the report to the taxpayer not later than the date the
vehicle is purchased and must submit the report to Secretary within fifteen (15) days of
the end of the calendar year containing the following:
(1) The name and taxpayer identification number of the Seller;
(2) The name and taxpayer identification number of the taxpayer;

15

(3) The vehicle identification number of the vehicle, unless, in accordance with any
applicable rules promulgated by the Secretary of Transportation, the vehicle is not
assigned such a number;
(4) The battery capacity of the vehicle;
(5) Only for sales of new clean vehicles, verification that original use of the vehicle
commences with the taxpayer;
(6) The date of sale, sale price of the vehicle, and maximum credit under § 30D or
§ 25E, as applicable, allowable to the taxpayer with respect to the vehicle;
(7) For sales after December 31, 2023, in the case of a taxpayer who makes an
election to transfer the credit to an eligible entity under § 30D(g)(1), any amount paid or
otherwise allowable as a partial payment or down payment to the taxpayer; and
(8) A declaration applicable to the report signed by a person currently authorized to
bind the Seller in these matters, in the following form: “Under penalties of perjury, I
declare that I have examined this report submitted to the IRS pursuant to Revenue
Procedure 2022-42 by [insert name of Seller], and to the best of my knowledge and
belief I certify that this report is true, correct, and complete.” This written report must be
provided to the IRS in the time and manner described in section 6.03 of this revenue
procedure.
SECTION 6. TIME AND METHOD FOR FILING WRITTEN AGREEMENTS AND
REPORTS
.01 Filing of Qualified Manufacturer Written Agreement.
Manufacturers must file their written agreement pursuant to section 4.01 of this
revenue procedure to be considered a qualified manufacturer. Manufacturers must
send their signed written agreements to [email protected].

16

The written agreement must be signed by a person currently authorized to bind the
taxpayer in these matters. An electronic signature is acceptable. Manufacturers will not
be considered qualified manufacturers until they have filed their written agreements with
the IRS.
.02 Time for Filing Reports by Qualified Manufacturers.
Qualified manufacturers must file the reports pursuant to section 4.02 of this revenue
procedure with the IRS on a monthly basis, by the fifteenth of the month. Qualified
manufacturers may file reports more frequently than once a month. Qualified
manufacturers must send an email to [email protected]
indicating their intent to submit monthly reports and the IRS will respond with
instructions on how to submit their reporting information. Additional information
regarding written reports will be provided on irs.gov.
.03 Time for Filing Seller Reports
For vehicle sales occurring in calendar year 2023 and later, Sellers must file reports
pursuant to section 5 of this revenue procedure with the IRS within fifteen days after the
end of the calendar year. Sellers must submit their reporting information in a format and
method that the Secretary provides. The first reports from Sellers will be due on
January 15, 2024.
SECTION 7. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT
The collection of information contained in this revenue procedure has been
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507) under control number 1545-2137.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond

17

to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB
control number.
The collections of information in this revenue procedure are in sections 4.01,
4.02, 5.01, 6.01, 6.02, and 6.03. This information is collected and retained to ensure
that vehicles meet the requirements for the clean vehicle credit under § 30D, the new
qualified commercial clean vehicle credit under § 45, and the previously-owned clean
vehicle credit under § 25E. This information will be used to determine whether the
vehicle for which the credit is claimed by a taxpayer is property that qualifies for the
credit. The collection of information is voluntary to obtain a benefit. The likely
respondents are corporations and partnerships.
The estimated total annual reporting burden is 13,491 hours.
