You’re right! The limit is indeed $300K for joint filers and significantly lower for singles. Make sure your adjusted gross income is below that!

The federal tax credit for electric vehicles can still be pretty generous, but it often depends on when you purchase. Each state also has its own incentives. It could really spice up your savings!

You’re right, Larry! In some states, like California, you might even get additional rebates on top of the federal credit. It’s definitely worth checking your local regulations.
