The federal tax credit is a great way to save money when you buy a new electric vehicle. Thankfully, the 2017 Toyota Prius still qualifies for the electric car credit.
If you qualify, you can receive a tax credit of up to $7,500 when you buy a new electric car made after 2010. But act soon! Toyota has already reached the 200,000 unit cap on electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles that can receive a tax credit.
How to claim the
federal tax credit
:
  • Find out if you qualify
  • Fill out Form 8936
  • Report the credit from Form 8936 on the correct line on Form 1040
  • Submit with your income tax return
You can also pair the federal tax credit with a rebate from your state if eligible. The key is to continue research and find out what kind of savings are available to you.
