this seems like it would be a FAQ but i didn't find anything searching the forum. apologies in advance for bad-google fu.
anybody know what date the IRS uses for ITC eligibility? i put a deposit down on 2x powerwalls in november 2019. the powerwalls were not installed until november 2020. it looks increasingly like final inspection won't happen until early 2021 at this point, thus i won't be paying the balance until 2021.
obviously i want to take the 26% ITC for 2020 instead of the 22% for 2021. anyone have experience with whether or not the IRS would push back against a 2020 ITC claim in this situation? tesla tells me the IRS considers the relevant date as when the equipment was "put into service" which is clearly 2020. but of course they would say that in an effort to head off my trying to get them to refund me 4%.
thanks
