I gotta say the management at Rivian takes a beating on this site. However Rivian being smart enough to implement their BPA can only be seen as a major win and will save quite a few customers some serious coin.

Mine was all generic, nothing pointing to any vehicle specifics.I have 2 reservations for 2 R1S's. I signed a BPA for each of them. I've taken delivery of one this year and anticipate taking delivery of the 2nd later this year.
In checking my paper files, I have 2 signed BPA agreements printed out. I believe each one is for one of the R1S. But here's the thing, they look identical.
Is there anything specific to each order or configuration on other people's BPA?
Fixing problems one post at a time8/15/2022 for both to get it to process.
First world problemsDamn it... I never thought I would be claiming the credit against 2022 tax.. figured 2023 if not 2024 (eta Q1 24). I already claimed one for R1T (ended up selling) and I don't have enough tax liability for two credits in same year.... looks like I will get a bit over $4k but I guess I shoudn't complain... it's better than nothing as I've previously given up on it seeing my delivery will likely be well into 2024.
This made me LOL. And kudos to Rivian for sending this email to clarify this for their customers. They have no incentive to do this but pretty cool that they did!I'm amazed by how many illiterate people can afford an $80k vehicle.
I also have this same questionSo assuming you don't exceed the income limit and the MSRP limit of the new rules is there a reason to do this other than getting the refund now? I'm taking delivery in a few weeks (I did sign the BPA in the fall) and the taxes are already done for 2022. Is the battery source still a concern for 2023? Since I'm under the limits on income and MSRP it seems like it would be easier to just wait until the 2023 tax filing.
If you amend your 2022 taxes, you get the money now (or whenever the IRS issues the refund for the amendment). If you wait until 2023, you won't get the money for like another 11 months since they are always late with the tax form.I also have this same question
Rivian has my signed BPA. I didn't receive this email. It's not in my junk folder. They can't properly manage an email listI gotta say the management at Rivian takes a beating on this site. However Rivian being smart enough to implement their BPA can only be seen as a major win and will save quite a few customers some serious coin.
As per Rivian, put the 8/15/2022 as the in service date as well as the acquisition date. Both dates will have be matched for the credit to appear in TurboTax. This is what I did just before the Rivian guidance but I used the date I signed the BPA which was 08/10/2022.Trying to figure out how to do this in TurboTax. Put 8/15/2022 as the in service date. 3/1/2023 as the delivery date. Giving an error that delivery cant be later than in service. Do I put 8/15/2022 as the delivery date? Doesn't seem right. Or should I see if TurboTax can fix their rules?
The quote doesn't show up in any IRS documentation. And the only Google results are threads from this forum and reddit discussing the email. Kind of strange.Taxpayers who took delivery in 2023 or after must use August 15, 2022 as the date placed in service when filing out Form 8936.
Yup! I am making it rain as I am writing this......I gotta say the management at Rivian takes a beating on this site. However Rivian being smart enough to implement their BPA can only be seen as a major win and will save quite a few customers some serious coin.
If you go to the instructions page for the form (linked on the IRS website) the language is clearly there (scroll way down).Rivian's email contains two IRS quotes. One "from Guidance" and the other "from Instructions".
The "from Guidance" section can be found verbatim on the IRS webpage ("To elect the credit under the prior rules you must...")
But the "from Instructions" is not present.
