The IRS has rejected the return because the credit amount on Schedule A (Form 8936) does not match the type of credit recorded in the e-File database.
This rejection often appears alongside SA-F8936-046 and SA-F8936-048.
Possible Cause:
IRS records may not be updated if the dealer has not submitted the required vehicle details to the IRS Energy Credits Online (ECO) system.
Steps to Resolve:
Confirm Dealer Submission
The taxpayer should contact the dealer to ensure the vehicle purchase details have been uploaded to IRS ECO.
Filing Options:
Wait until the IRS updates its records before filing.
File without Form 8936 and submit an amended return once the IRS has the necessary information to verify the credit.
