Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Has anyone submitted a form 8911. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf
Does it require a vehicle purchase the year you file?

It looks like if you want to claim one on your 2021 return you have to buy it in 2021. I assume "alternative fuel" means EV, hydrogen, CNG, but would have to read the instructions.

I wonder if these guys will figure out a way to get a tax credit for hay?

And it has to be put in service before year end.

For a moment I thought I might add a 50+ amp welder outlet at home and also at a more convenient location at the ranch - but I don't have an EV yet, needed qualify for that.

That's like trying to imagine the end of the universe. You could turn yourself into a blonde trying to figure that out... or just realize how insignificant we really are.

Sine the tax deduction was extended to 12/31/21, I don't know if it will be available next year. The exact quote from the instructions is:

"Use Form 8911 to figure your credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property you placed in service during your tax year. The credit attributable to depreciable property (refueling property used for business or investment purposes) is treated as a general business credit. Any credit not attributable to depreciable property is treated as a personal credit."

No where in the instruction does it mentioned about having to purchase the vehicle the year you take the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property deduction. So what I'm thinking this is a good time to install the recharging plug and get a refund of 30% of the cost (up to $1000). I am not a tax expert but hopefully there is someone here that can let me know if I am wrong. I still have 3 months to install the charger to get the credit. I may not get the EV for another 3 years.
