WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Internal Revenue Service announced today that sellers of clean vehicles can now register using the new IRS Energy Credits Online tool<\/a>, available free from the IRS. Known as IRS Energy Credits Online or IRS ECO, this free electronic service is secure, accurate and requires no special software. Though available to any business of any size, IRS Energy Credit Online may be especially helpful to any small business that currently sells clean vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IRS\u2019s new Energy Credits Online tool will allow dealers and sellers of clean vehicles to complete the entire process online and receive advance payments within 72 hours. The tool will generate a Time of Sale report that the taxpayer will use when filing their federal tax return to claim or report the credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
