Reject Code: SA-F8936-046
Schedule A (Form 8936), 'TIN' does not match 'VIN' shown in the e-File database. Please refer to your Time of Sale report and resubmit your return.
This reject code is often seen in tandem with rejects SA-F8936-047 and SA-F8936-048.
There are several possible reasons a return claiming the Clean Vehicle Credit may get this reject:
- The VIN in Schedule A (Form 8936) has been mistyped.
- The IRS records are not up to date due to the dealer not having submitted the required information to IRS Energy Credits Online (ECO).
First, verify the VIN has been keyed in accurately into Schedule A. If the VIN is correct, the taxpayer should liaise with their dealer to ensure the dealer uploaded the vehicle purchase information to ECO.
If the dealer did not upload the information, the taxpayer can either wait to file their tax return until the IRS has the vehicle's information, or they can file the tax return without Form 8936 and then amend it when the IRS has the info needed to verify the credit.
