I heard that the income limit for full credits is $300K if you’re married. Can anyone confirm that?

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!

And what about the vehicle specifications? Does the 330e still qualify as an electric vehicle for the credit?

Yes, the BMW 330e is a plug-in hybrid and qualifies! Just ensure it has a battery capacity of at least 7kWh.

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.
