The Energy Improvement and Extension
Act of 2008 added § 30D of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) to
authorize a credit for 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) and provides a credit for clean new
vehicles. Section 13402 of the IRA added § 25E to the Code and
provides a credit for previously owned clean vehicles. Section
13403(a) of the IRA added new § 45W to the Code and provides a
credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles.

IRS is issuing a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), REG-123525-23 that will amend 1545-2137
to add reporting, third-party disclosures, and recordkeeping
requirements. The NPRM contemplates establishing a reporting and
third-party disclosure requirement for manufacturers to issue and
associate a Product Identification Number (PIN) for specified
property under Section 45W. The manufacturers would then report the
issued PIN to the IRS. This requirement is estimated to add 4,500
respondents/responses and 1,125 burden hours to the collection. It
is estimated to take 15 minutes (.25 hours) for each respondent to
comply with this requirement. Additionally, manufacturers will also
be required to provide taxpayers with the powertrain cost or
incremental cost value of a vehicle; and taxpayers will be required
to maintain a record of these disclosures. (§1.45W-2(c)(10)). It is
estimated to take one hour to complete this requirement, with an
estimate of 500 respondents/responses for an increase in 500 burden
hours. These changes increase the estimated number of
respondents/responses by 5,000, with an estimated overall increase
of burden hours of 1,625, for a total of 253,441
respondents/responses and 609,498 overall total burden hours.
