My tax return keeps getting rejected because of form 8936 Schedule A not matching.  All infom is correct and vechicle was purchased in October 2024.  Is there a fix for this so I can file my taxes?

    This rejection happens due to the IRS business rules when either:

     

    •  VIN is incorrect (Rejection code F8936-030-01)
    •  Your tax ID and VIN do not match in the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-046)
    •  The credit type claimed and the amount entered on the Schedule A of Form 8936 is not matching the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-0047)
    •  The purchase date is inconsistent with the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-048).

    Please follow these steps:

     

    1. Check the report that you received from the dealer and make sure it is correct and matches what you have entered on your tax return.  Dealers who sell vehicles eligible for a used (previously owned) vehicle credit under IRC 25E must furnish a report to the buyer at the time of sale and also to IRS for those vehicles to be eligible for a credit under IRC 25E
    2. Contact the dealer and make sure that they provided the correct information to the IRS and/or that they did provide the sale information to the IRS.
    3. If you can prove that numbers 1 and 2 are true and the IRS still rejects your tax return, you will have to print and mail the return. You will also need to send proof that proves you got the credit.
