## Facts

### What Is Form 8936?

Form 8936 is used to claim credit for new or previously owned clean vehicles that you put in service in the current tax year. You can use it to claim credit when you file your tax return or to register the price reduction you’ve received when purchasing the vehicle from a dealer.

### Who Is Required to File Form 8936?

Form 8936 is filled out by taxpayers who want to claim credit for their new or previously owned clean vehicles. You’re not required to file this form if you decide not to claim credit, but you must submit it if you elect to transfer the credit to the dealer to reduce the purchase price.

### When is Form 8936 Due?

Form 8936 is filed alongside your federal income tax return (Form 1040) in the tax year when you put the vehicle in service. Since Form 1040 typically has to be submitted by April 15th, this deadline applies to Form 8936 as well.

### What Are the Penalties for Not Submitting Form 8936?

There are no specific penalties for not submitting Form 8936 if you didn’t transfer your clean vehicle credit at sale. In that case, the only consequence is the loss of credit, as you can’t claim it on any future tax returns.



However, if you did transfer your credit to reduce the purchase price, failure to submit Form 8936 may result in disallowed credit or required repayment with interest.

### Where Do I File Form 8936?

You should file Form 8936 with the IRS, along with Form 1040. You can do so electronically, which is recommended for faster processing, or by sending a package to a designated address.
