Another tax credit question.
I noticed a Nissan Leaf of Ebay for $55,000 with 400 miles on it, and was purchased, and now it's being re-sold. I hope it goes for major $.
Question - will the person who purchases the car be able to receive the $7,500 Federal Tax credit, and if they live in Califronia, the $5,000 California credit?
When I asked the seller the question, this was the reply:
"It has been titled in my name, yes. To my personal reading of the law, you may be able to claim the $7500 tax credit, as well as the $5000 california credit (if you are in CA). Other states have credits as well. I will obviously not be claiming the credit, and one may not claim it if one plans on reselling it, so it makes sense that the final buyer may claim it. However, I advise you to consult your tax attorney or accountant to be sure, as I am not a tax professional. This should not be interpreted as tax advice.
