Clean vehicle tax credits ended
The notice says the clean vehicle credits under sections 25E, 30D, and 45W were terminated by the OBBBA for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. That termination is expected to reduce manufacturer and seller reporting (Form 15400 and monthly reports); the IRS estimates 200 respondents and 1,125 total annual burden hours for the related collections. The affected public listed includes Individuals or Households and businesses.
Innocent spouse relief via Form 8857
Taxpayers who filed a joint return and believe they qualify for innocent spouse relief (because the return had a substantial understatement, they had no knowledge of or benefit from that understatement, and it would be inequitable to hold them liable) may request relief using Form 8857. The submission estimates 50,000 respondents, an average time per response of 6 hours 19 minutes, and 316,000 total annual burden hours for this information collection.
