Just an FYI. I filed taxes electronically yesterday. I had the form but didn't need it. Just filled in the information and it produced the Form 8936.

Not saying you shouldn't get the form from Tesla for you records, but it shouldn't hold up your filing.

Did you take delivery of your Model Y on 2/24/23?

Doesn't your claim of that $7,500 have to be supported by the manufacturer (Tesla in this case) also filing to show that you purchased said car eligible for the tax incentive? I thought it was a 2-part process and once yours arrives on their doorstep it needed to match up with the one the manufacturer also submitted.

Tesla definitely has to file the transaction with the IRS. I was just making the point that you don't have to have Form 15400 in your possession to file. I'm assuming that Tesla met their responsibility to record the transaction with IRS but is dragging their feet placing the proof in your Documents section.
 
Go to Tesla.com/contactus then log into your account. It’ll then read “Ask a question” at the top of the page. Click the drop down & select “Generate 2023 IRA Document”. You’ll then enter select your VIN it pertains to & then enter your SSN. Select submit & it’ll give you a confirmation stating you should receive the document within 24hrs.

I completed mine earlier this afternoon & already see it “IRA Clean Vehicles Credit Report” added to the document section of my Model Y. Hope this helps anyone who has yet to receive there’s.
Likewise, thank you for the instructions! I did not know that I had to request a document from Tesla. I was able to follow the simple instructions to submit my request, but I'm not seeing a document section. Photo attached. How do I access the documets section?

Sorrry, I found the documents section by going to Manage under my car. The document is already there. Thank you for telling me about it. I will email it to my accountant now!
 
My return was accepted with my VIN via TurboTax but I just received a letter from the IRS claiming there was an error on my return because they could not verify my VIN for the Clean Vehicle Credit. I did some research and Tesla did not have my Form 15400 in my Tesla Account but I just requested it and see it was added. Anyone know what I need to do to respond to the IRS and resolve the issue? I am trying to avoid calling the IRS, knowing I will waste 2+ hours being on hold and/or getting the runaround.

There is no “generate 2023 IRA documents “ option after I login. Could anyone help me with? Emergency.
 
This is still a cluster f. I too got the infamous IRS letter a couple weeks ago telling me my $7500 credit is denied for VIN not in the IRS list. I did verify I have a copy of the IRS form that Tesla should have sent to IRS in my Tesla online documents. The form is signed and dated by a Tesla employee on January 23, 2024 and everything on the form looks correct. So either Tesla didn’t forward the form to the IRS or the IRS screwed up but meanwhile I’m in a tough spot. An IRS telephone agent put a hold on action against me until November but of course interest will accrue if I somehow don’t get the credit. I did send registration and my relevant tax form copies to IRS and included a copy of the tax form Tesla should have sent to IRS to get my VIN on their list.

PS lest someone wonder: We qualified for the full $7500 based on our “low income” and the IRS letter only says we were disqualified because our VIN wasn’t in their data base.

Any other suggestions? I can see this taking many months to resolve. BTW I do my taxes with TurboTax and filed by paper, which was probably old fashioned — and stupid — but I see posts on the Web from electronic filers with the same issue.
