IRS Moves Date for Suspension of Time-of-Sale Report Submission Deadline
What’s new: Last week, the IRS announced that it would change the date for the temporary suspension of the submission deadline for 2024 Time-of-Sale reports in the ECO portal from November 25, 2024 to the first week of December. NADA has learned that the new date for the temporary suspension will likely be December 3, 2024, but the IRS will formally announce the exact date in the coming days via the e-News for the Clean Vehicle Industry e-mail newsletter (click here to subscribe). Dealers should monitor their e-mail inbox for the announcement.
