For those considering buying an electric vehicle, Dec. 31 is the last date to qualify for a $4,000 state tax credit.
The Innovative Motor Vehicle income tax credit on the purchase of a new plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicle will drop to $2,500 in 2021. The credit for leasing an electric vehicle will decrease to $1,500 next year from the current $2,000, according to a news release from Clean Energy Economy for the Region.
Electric vehicle purchasers also can claim a federal income tax credit of up to $7,500, but the size of the federal credit depends on the vehicle model and the purchaser’s individual tax liability.
