On July 4, the president signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that terminates the following three major electric vehicle tax credits, effective September 30, 2025: • Section 45W—Commercial Clean Vehicles Credit. Up to $7,500 for light electric vehicles and up to $40,000 for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. This is the best tax credit for business owners because it does not phase out with income. • Section 30D—New Clean Vehicle Credit. Up to $7,500 for qualifying new electric vehicles, with requirements for domestic sourcing of battery components and minerals. This credit is phases out with income. • Section 25E—Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit. Up to $4,000, or 30 percent of the purchase price, for eligible used electric vehicles. If you’re looking to buy an electric vehicle and want to claim the tax credit, now is the time to act.

Due to this year’s high inflation rates, the IRS tax bracket adjustments for 2023 could result in a change to your federal income tax bracket. These inflation adjustments may help some taxpayers to lower their taxes and provide opportunities to invest more into their IRA and 401(K) accounts. While some certainly may benefit from these changes for the coming tax season, do not expect this to be a reoccurring annual assist.
