The IRS announced this week that it will be closing the clean vehicle credit portal for edits and late submissions from 2024.
The IRS will be closing the portal Feb. 1, 2026, for dealers to submit edits, returns or cancellation requests for 2024 sales. One month later, on March 1, the IRS will close the portal for late time of sale reports from 2024.
The used clean vehicle credit, up to $4,000 for a qualifying vehicle, expired September 30, 2025, as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” tax law. Vehicles sold before the deadline could qualify for the credit. Consumers entering a purchasing agreement with a dealer before the deadline could transfer the tax credit at the time of purchase. Dealers needed to submit a time of sale report to the IRS to receive the credited amount.
The portal has remained open for registered dealers to submit time of sale reports, including updates and vehicle return reports. When a dealer submits a return or cancels a time of sale report, they must repay the advanced credit payment.
