Sept. 15, 2025 · Authored by A. Michael Mader
EV buyers face a key deadline. Baker Tilly’s Michael Mader spoke with Thomson Reuters about the temporary spike in demand as federal tax credit rules shift ahead of September 30.
He shared what taxpayers should know before making a purchase:
- Confirm the dealer is IRS-registered
- Obtain required documentation (Form 8936 + time-of-sale report)
- Evaluate credit eligibility and charging access
With dealerships seeing strong sales, the question is whether to act now or wait for future EV advancements.
