.02 Section 30D Clean Vehicle Credit.
(1) Section 30D was enacted by § 205(a) of the Energy Improvement and
Extension Act of 2008, Division B of Public Law 110-343, 122 Stat. 3765, 3835 (October
3, 2008), to provide a credit for purchasing and placing in service 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). In general,
the amendments made by § 13401 of the IRA to § 30D apply to vehicles placed in
service after December 31, 2022, except as provided in § 13401(k)(2) through (5) of the
IRA.

- 3 -
(2) Section 30D(a) allows a credit for the taxable year with respect to each new
clean vehicle placed in service by a taxpayer during the taxable year. Section 30D(b)
provides a maximum credit of $7,500 per vehicle, consisting of $3,750 if certain critical
minerals requirements are met and $3,750 if certain battery components requirements
are met. These requirements are described in § 30D(e)(1) and (2), respectively.
(3) Section 13401(k)(3) of the IRA provides that the critical minerals requirement
described in § 30D(e)(1) (Critical Minerals Requirement) and the battery components
requirement described in § 30D(e)(2) (Battery Components Requirement) apply to
vehicles placed in service after the date on which proposed guidance with respect to the
Critical Minerals and the Battery Components Requirements is issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury or her delegate (Secretary). On April 17, 2023, the Department of the
Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register ( 88 F.R. 23370), which
constitutes that proposed guidance. Thus, the Critical Minerals and Battery
Components R equirements apply to vehicles placed in service on or after April 18,
2023.
.03 IRS Final Regulations. On May 6, 2024, the Treasury Department and the IRS
published TD 9995 in the Federal Register (89 FR 37706) (final regulations). The final
regulations provide guidance under §§ 25E, 30D, and 6213, as amended by §§ 13401,
13402, and 13301(f)(4), (g)(2), and 13403(b)(2), respectively, of the IRA.
.04 Revenue Procedures.
(1) Rev. Proc. 2022-42, 2022-52 I.R.B. 565, in relevant part, established
procedures for qualified manufacturers to enter into written agreements with the IRS in

- 4 -
accordance with §§ 30D(d)(1)(C) and 30D(d)(3). Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of Rev. Proc.
2022-42 provided, respectively, information regarding the contents of the written
agreement that a manufacturer must enter into with the IRS to become a qualified
manufacturer, and the contents of the written reports submitted by the qualified
manufacturer to the IRS.
(2) Rev. Proc. 2023-33, in relevant part, superseded sections 6.01 and 6.02 of
Rev. Proc. 2022-42, and provided updated information on written agreements to be
submitted by manufacturers to the IRS to become qualified manufacturers, as well as
the method for qualified manufacturers to submit monthly reports, beginning January 1,
2024.
(3) Rev. Proc. 2023-38, in relevant part, established procedural rules for qualified
manufacturers of new clean vehicles to comply with the reporting, certification, and
attestation requirements regarding the excluded entity restriction, under which the IRS,
with analytical assistance from the Department of Energy (DOE), will review compliance
with the excluded entity restrictions of § 30D(d)(7). Section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 2023-38
provided that, for calendar years beginning January 1, 2025, for vehicles to qualify for
the § 30D credit, the qualified manufacturer must provide information to the IRS to
establish a compliant-battery ledger for each year. The compliant-battery ledger for a
calendar year tracks a qualified manufacturer’s anticipated supply of batteries that are
FEOC-compliant for such a calendar year. See § 1.30D-2(b)(11) and (22) for definitions
of the terms “compliant-battery ledger” and “FEOC-compliant.” Rev. Proc. 2023-38 also
superseded certain provisions of Rev. Proc. 2022-42 and Rev. Proc. 2023-33 not
relevant to this revenue procedure.

SECTION 4. COMPLIANT-BATTERY LEDGER FOR PURPOSES OF § 30D
.01 Introduction. For calendar years beginning January 1, 2025, for new clean
vehicles to qualify for the § 30D credit, the qualified manufacturer must provide
information to the IRS and the DOE to establish a compliant-battery ledger for each
calendar year. The compliant-battery ledger for a qualified manufacturer for a calendar
year is a ledger established under the rules of § 1.30D-6(d) that tracks the number of
FEOC-compliant batteries for such calendar year. The procedure for qualified
manufacturers to establish a compliant-battery ledger, as well as the procedure to
increase or reduce the battery-compliant ledger, is provided in section 5 of Rev. Proc.
2023-38. See § 1.30D-6(b) for rules related to the due diligence the qualified
manufacturer must conduct with respect to all battery components and applicable
critical minerals (and associated constituent materials) that are relevant to determining
whether such components or minerals are FEOC-compliant.

- 6 -
.02 Upfront Review of Projected Number of FEOC-Compliant Batteries.
(1) In general. To establish a compliant-battery ledger, the qualified
manufacturer must submit the attestation of the projected number of FEOC-compliant
batteries and other information described § 1.30D-6(d) and section 5.03 of Rev. Proc.
2023-38 (collectively, the submission) for upfront review to the DOE through a method
provided by the DOE. The IRS will make a determination with respect to the
submission, with analytical assistance from the DOE, and notify the qualified
manufacturer of its determination. As part of the IRS determination process, DOE will
review the submission by the manufacturer; conduct analysis based on such
submission, its own expertise, and independent research; and provide that analysis to
the IRS.
A template report and workbook will be made available by the IRS or the DOE prior
to July 1 of the year prior to the calendar year for which the compliant-battery ledger is
being established. Qualified manufacturers are encouraged to submit the requisite
information using the template report and template workbook to ensure a more
streamlined review process. While qualified manufacturers are not required to use the
template workbook, they must submit a workbook spreadsheet. The formulas in the
workbook spreadsheet submitted by the qualified manufacturer must be visible and not
converted into calculated values.
(2) Report for transition rule for impracticable-to-trace battery materials.
(a) Section 1.30D-6(b)(2) provides that for any new clean vehicle for which the

SECTION 6. SELLER REPORTS
.01 Seller reports generally. Section 1.30D-2(b)(46) provides that the term “seller
report” means the report described in § 30D(d)(1)(H) that the seller of a new clean
vehicle provides to the taxpayer and the IRS in the manner provided in, and containing
the information described in, guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin (see
§ 601.601 of the Statement of Procedural Rules (26 CFR Part 601)). Section 1.30D-
2(b)(46) further provides that the seller report must be transmitted to the IRS
electronically, and that the term “seller report” does not include a report rejected by the
IRS due to the information contained therein not matching IRS records. Section 1.25E-
1(b)(18) provides the same definition for purposes of section 25E. Section 7.03(1)
through (3) of Rev. Proc. 2023-33 provides procedural rules related to the time and
manner of filing seller reports, the requirement to furnish copies of seller reports, and
IRS rejection of seller reports.
.02 Updating and Rescinding Seller Reports.
(1) Error on seller report. If the seller of a new clean vehicle discovers that
information on the seller report is incorrect, the seller must notify the IRS of the error by
submitting updated information in the manner specified in the instructions on the IRS
Energy Credits Online Portal as promptly as possible after the discovery of the error.
The IRS will acknowledge submission of the updated information and will notify the
seller of whether the updated information is accepted or rejected by the IRS. The seller
must notify the taxpayer listed on the seller report within 3 calendar days of submitting
the updated information to the IRS, and provide the buyer a copy of the updated time-
of-sale report. If the IRS rejects the seller’s submission of updated information, the

- 21 -
seller must also notify the taxpayer listed on the seller report within 3 calendar days of
such rejection.
(2) Cancelled sale. If the sale of a new clean vehicle is cancelled before the
vehicle is placed in service, the seller must rescind the seller report in the manner
specified in the instructions on the IRS Energy Credits Online Portal as promptly as
possible after the sale is cancelled. The IRS will acknowledge rescission of the seller
report. The seller must notify the buyer within 3 calendar days of rescinding the seller
report and provide the buyer a copy of the IRS acknowledgement that the seller report
has been rescinded. If the IRS rejects the seller’s attempted rescission of the seller
report, the seller must also notify the buyer within 3 calendar days of such rejection.
(3) Vehicle Return. If a buyer returns a vehicle to the seller within 30 days of
placing such vehicle in service, the seller must update the seller report in the manner
specified in the instructions on the IRS Energy Credits Online Portal. The IRS will
acknowledge submission of the report of the vehicle return. The seller must notify the
buyer within 3 calendar days of the update to the seller report and provide the buyer a
copy of the IRS acknowledgement that the seller report has been updated.
.03 Repayment of Advance Payment of § 30D Credit in the event of cancelled sale,
vehicle return, or other error. If the seller receives an advance payment of the § 30D
credit with respect to a new clean vehicle that is returned within 30 days to the seller or
with respect to which the sale is cancelled, the seller must return the amount received
as an advance payment in the manner specified in the instructions on the IRS Energy
Credits Online Portal. If the seller receives an advance payment of the § 30D credit
with respect to a new clean vehicle that was paid in error, regardless of the nature of the

- 22 -
error, the seller must return the amount received as an advance payment in the manner
specified in the instructions on the IRS Energy Credits Online Portal.
