# [New Dealer Template for 2023 Year-End Sale Reports](https://www.nhada.com/blog/new-dealer-template-for-2023-year-end-sale-reports)

 Written by [National Auto Dealers Association (NADA)](https://www.nhada.com/blog/author/nada) | Jan 25, 2024

For dealers who intend to submit their 2023 Year-End Clean Vehicle Sale Reports to the IRS on a spreadsheet, **[a new downloadable template is now available](https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nada.org%2Fmedia%2F9353%2Fdownload%3Finline&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK)**. 

The reports, due on Jan. 31, 2024, are required for 2023 sales that qualify for either the Section 25E previously owned clean vehicle credit or the new clean vehicle credit under Section 30D. Although the IRS prefers the reports to be provided in a spreadsheet, dealers may also submit copies of individual seller report Form 15400 or equivalent forms containing the required data the dealer used in the calendar year 2023. Dealers that used reasonable alternatives to Form 15400 in providing the required seller reports to buyers do not need to prepare the information in the Form 15400 format. Reports are *not required for lease transactions or sales that qualify for the commercial clean vehicle credit under Section 45W.*

**Instructions on how to use the template:**

If you're using an Excel spreadsheet for the 2023 Time Of Sale (ToS) reports, please use the following naming convention in the **subject line** of the email and for the **file name**:

For example:  
Squash Pie Incorporation dba Squash Dealership
