This program was authorized under the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act and allows schools and local governments a tax credit up to $40,000 depending on the vehicle price and the amount of non-subsidized expenses paid by the district or agency. 

Agencies seeking these tax credits must preregister with the IRS.  More information about this program is available here: shorturl.at/BFKR2 Print readers can search for IRS Elective Pay and Transferability Rules in their web browsers.
