Several CATA dealers have called with questions regarding the IRS’ registration portal for Clean Vehicle Credits. There are about 13,000 dealers registered so only a low overall number of dealers remain unregistered. According to Gregory D. Cote, Director & Counsel at the NADA, the remaining issues are attributable to dealer error, tax compliance, or some other cause, failure to provide banking information, or, in rare cases, a technical glitch.

There are some additional fixes being made by the IRS that could resolve some of the outstanding technical problems soon, but dealers with tax compliance issues are not able to register. Others who did not respond to banking information requests, or did not register properly, will probably need to re-register.

For dealers having a problem registering, it is recommended that dealers call the tax compliance line to confirm there are no outstanding tax issues. The tax line is 833-933-7680. For dealers that continue to have problem, the NADA is offering assistance in troubleshooting the problem. Simply contact Greg Cote at gcote@nada.org.
