Why it matters: Once implemented, the temporary suspension will enable dealers who missed the regular three-day deadline, either because their portal registration remained pending or for other reasons, to submit time-of-sale reports and seek reimbursement for clean vehicle tax credits applied to their outstanding 2024 transactions.
Go deeper: Dealers encountering problems with submitting a time-of-sale report should follow the steps outlined in Q1 of the new IRS FAQ document. If the issue persists, dealers should send the IRS a message through the portal’s new secure messaging tool. Dealers may find guidance on how to use the new messaging tool via the IRS ECO Secure Messaging User Guide.
