Question for any CPA's or tax pros out there:
If I bought a USED EV (Leaf) this year (2023) that qualifies for part of the $4000 used EV rebate.... (it qualifies for $3750)
Then my wife buys another USED PHEV (Volt) the same year that also qualifies.... (it qualifies for the full $4000)
And our joint income allows us to be income-qualified for both purchases...
Can I claim BOTH USED EV credits on my 2023 tax return? The IRS is not clear on this. It looks like it is by taxpayer, but joint returns are not specifically addressed. My wife makes very little, but has a small taxable income that will be included in our total. She CANNOT be listed as a "dependent" per IRS rules. So I think I can claim both EV and PHEV on my tax return.
What say people who actually know?
