This rejection often appears alongside SA-F8936-046 and SA-F8936-047.

Possible Causes:

  • The IRS records show the vehicle was purchased in a different tax year than reported.

  • IRS records may not be updated if the dealer has not submitted the required purchase details to IRS Energy Credits Online (ECO).

✅ Steps to Resolve:

  1. Verify the Purchase Year – Ensure the vehicle was bought in the same tax year as reported.

  2. Confirm Dealer Submission – Contact the dealer to check if they have uploaded the purchase details to IRS ECO.

If the dealer has not yet submitted the information, the taxpayer has two 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.
