Unfortunately the made in America provision went into effect immediately, as such the i4 is immediately disqualified.

Its 100% true it's in the bill. As soon as biden signed it it went into effect immediately. As of today no electric BMW except the X5e and 3 series plug in qualifies for the credit (along with a ton of other foreign built EVs). If you already put 5% down and have a binding contract for sale then you can still get the credit under the old rules, but if you haven't you are out of luck

It feels that IRA is specific about this, namely, if there is a committed delivery(e.g. paid on full without backing out), then it will be considered as purchased before IRA enactment. |

Does IRA say the damage needs to be 5% or more? If so, I think CA does not qualify since CA can't have deposit of more than 2.5%.

I have a take on this situation that I wanted to flush through you all. A contract is set in place for two sides to agree on something and so the other doesn't break it. If you purchase the vehicle that contract has been executed and any written contract before is pretty much useless once the actual transaction happens and keys exchange hands. So why are the rules so strict around the binding document before August 16th. If the transaction goes through any agreement and conversation made before hand shows intent to purchase on our end and intent to sell on the dealers end. Neither party will argue the prior agreement is null and it is only for IRS documentation. This is just a thought I had and by no means my opinion but rather me wanting to hear some peer review. What I'm trying to get at is that once the official transaction occurs and keys change hand, can we use our communication from before 8/16 as proof both parties always intended to execute (buyer purchases, dealer sells) the transaction such as emails, VIR, and deposit? I feel like that should be sufficient.

If all monies are refundable until a car is driven off the lot then a contact non-binding. A contract that is not for a legal purpose is no contract at all.

Not true at all. There is no need to have a deposit in order to make it binding. Read the IRS guidance, it may help.

This is an interesting article: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/le...ng-writ-30614/ IRS Notice 2013-19 on 4/15/2013 originally says that written binding contract cannot have liquidated damages above a specified threshold. However, a later clarification on 4/25/2013 says damages limited to at least 5% will not be treated as limiting damages to a specified amount. My interpretation is that it is a binding contract when damage is clearly stated/written(and signed to acknowledge) as at least 5%. I think in the context of IRA's EV binding contract, one needs to hold a contract that explicitly states that damage is at least 5%(may or may not be paid as upfront deposit) to be considered as binding.

IRA provides a clause to allow future transaction (August 16, to Dec 31, 2022?) to be treated as completed transaction if the written binding contract definition is met. Since IRS has Notice 2013-19 issued since 2013, my thinking is that Notice 2013-19 will be used to guide the 2022 1040 form. |

Actually, another poster posted this on another thread, IRS already states the below, so all CA customers do not have binding contracts on their i4.
"For tax purposes in general, a contract provision that limits damages to an amount equal to at least 5 percent of the total contract price is not treated as limiting damages to a specified amount. For example, if a customer has made a non-refundable deposit or down payment of 5 percent of the total contract price, it is an indication of a binding contract. A contract is binding even if subject to a condition, as long as the condition is not within the control of either party. A contract will continue to be binding if the parties make insubstantial changes in its terms and conditions." https://www.irs.gov/businesses/plug-...30-and-irc-30d |
