I have a question, I've been combing through the site for about 2 hours and I'm sorry if I missed it, but I just want a straight answer from someone who understands the tax code.
This information was given to my by two different Tesla reps. But I take that with a grain of salt and just want to clarify...
It was my understanding that this $7500 tax credit is not a refundable credit, meaning you have to owe $7500 in taxes to get the full amount. So if you have a tax refund of $1000, you get none of the credit. If you owe $1000, you only get to use $1000 of the credit. I also hear you can get the full amount at time of purchase, so if I purchased in 2023, got the $7500 instantly, would that screw me the next year when I file my 2023 taxes (and don't owe anything)?
