FAQ
What is Form 8936?
Form 8936, Clean Vehicle Credits, is used to figure the credit for a new clean vehicle, a previously owned clean vehicle, or a qualified commercial clean vehicle. You attach it to your tax return along with a Schedule A (Form 8936) for each vehicle.
Can I still get a clean vehicle credit?
The IRS says these credits aren't available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. If you acquired a qualifying vehicle before then, you'll still use Form 8936 to claim the credit, or to report it if you transferred it to the dealer at the time of sale.
Do I need Form 8936 if the dealer gave me the credit at purchase?
Yes. If you transferred the credit to the dealer to lower the price, you still file Form 8936 and Schedule A with your return. If your modified adjusted gross income turns out to be over the limit, you may have to repay the credit, so check the current instructions.
How do I fill out Form 8936?
Start by completing a Schedule A (Form 8936) for each vehicle, including its VIN and the date you placed it in service. Then on Form 8936, work through the modified AGI limitation to confirm your income is under the limit for the year.
Next, carry the credit amounts from Schedule A to the section for new clean vehicles, previously owned clean vehicles, or commercial clean vehicles. The totals then move to your Form 1040 or business return.
What information do I need before I start?
Have your seller's report or purchase documents, the vehicle's VIN, the date you took delivery, and your modified AGI for the current and prior year. For business vehicles, you'll also need the vehicle's cost and business use details.
Can I download my Form 8936 as a PDF?
Yes. Jotform lets you fill out Form 8936 for free and download the completed form as a PDF in the original IRS layout. Jotform doesn't file your return, so you'll attach the form yourself or share it with your tax preparer.
