Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 2023 / Proposed Rules
Code, no credit is allowed under section
45W with respect to any vehicle for
which a credit was allowed under
section 30D.
(b) Limitation based on modified
adjusted gross income—(1) In general.
No credit is allowed under section
30D(a) for any taxable year if—
(i) The lesser of—
(A) The modified adjusted gross
income of the taxpayer for such taxable
year, or
(B) The modified adjusted gross
income of the taxpayer for the preceding
taxable year, exceeds
(ii) The threshold amount.
(2) Threshold amount. For purposes
of paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the
threshold amount applies to individual
taxpayers based on the return filing
status for the taxable year, as set forth
in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iii) of
this section.
(i) In the case of a joint return or a
surviving spouse (as defined in section
2(a) of the Code), the threshold amount
is $300,000,
(ii) In the case of a head of household
(as defined in section 2(b) of the Code),
the threshold amount is $225,000.
(iii) In the case of a taxpayer not
described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) or (ii) of
this section, the threshold amount is
$150,000.
(3) Modified adjusted gross income.
For purposes of section 30D(f)(10) and
this paragraph (b), the term modified
adjusted gross income means adjusted
gross income (as defined in section 62
of the Code) increased by any amount
excluded from gross income under
section 911, 931, or 933 of the Code.
(4) Special rule for change in filing
status. If the taxpayer’s filing status for
the taxable year differs from the
taxpayer’s filing status in the preceding
taxable year, the taxpayer satisfies the
limitation described in paragraph (b)(1)
of this section if the taxpayer’s modified
AGI does not exceed the threshold
amount in either year based on the
applicable filing status for that taxable
year.
(5) Application to taxpayers other
than individuals—(i) In general. Except
as provided in paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of
this section, the modified adjusted gross
income limitation of this paragraph (b)
does not apply in the case of a new
clean vehicle placed in service by a
corporation or other taxpayer that is not
an individual for whom adjusted gross
income is computed under section 62.
(ii) Application to passthrough
entities. In the case of a new clean
vehicle placed in service by a
partnership or S corporation, where the
section 30D credit is claimed by
individuals who are direct or indirect
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Apr 14, 2023
Jkt 259001
partners of that partnership or
shareholders of that S corporation, the
modified adjusted gross income
limitation of this paragraph (b) will
apply to those partners or shareholders.
(c) Multiple owners and passthrough
entity ownership of a single vehicle—(1)
In general. Except as provided in
paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the
amount of the section 30D credit
attributable to a new clean vehicle may
be claimed on only one tax return. In
the event a new clean vehicle is placed
in service by multiple owners, no
allocation or proration of the section
30D credit is available.
(2) Passthrough entities. In the case of
a new clean vehicle placed in service by
a partnership or S corporation, while
the partnership or S corporation is the
vehicle owner, the section 30D credit is
allocated among the partners of the
partnership under § 1.704–1(b)(4)(ii) or
among the shareholders of the S
corporation under sections 1366(a) and
1377(a) of the Code and claimed on the
tax returns of the ultimate partners’ or
of the S corporation shareholder(s).
(3) Seller reporting—(i) In general.
The name and taxpayer identification
number of the vehicle owner claiming
the section 30D credit must be listed on
the seller’s report pursuant to section
30D(d)(1)(H). The credit will be allowed
only on the tax return of the owner
listed in the seller’s report.
(ii) Passthrough entities. In the case of
a new clean vehicle placed in service by
a partnership or S corporation, the name
and tax identification number of the
partnership or S corporation that placed
the new clean vehicle in service must be
listed on the seller’s report pursuant to
section 30D(d)(1)(H).
(4) Example. A married couple jointly
purchases and places in service a new
clean vehicle that qualifies for the
section 30D credit and puts both of their
names on the title. When the couple
prepares to file their Federal income tax
return, they choose to file using the
married filing separately filing status.
The section 30D credit may only be
claimed by one of the spouses on that
spouse’s tax return, and the other
spouse may not claim any amount of the
section 30D credit with respect to that
new clean vehicle. The spouse that
claims the section 30D credit must be
the same spouse listed on the seller
report received pursuant to section
30D(d)(1)(H).
(d) Severability. The provisions of this
section are separate and severable from
one another. If any provision of this
section is stayed or determined to be
invalid, it is the agencies’ intention that
the remaining provisions shall continue
in effect.
