No 2027 form or amount is published yet; from 2027-01-01 no figure is served until one is. Effective 2026-08-10.

<title>[ENDED] ALL: The federal charger credit ended. A home charger placed in service after 2026-06-30 earns nothing federally.</title>
<link>https://punchlistrebates.com/changes.html#c-30c</link>

<pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description>§30C paid 30% of a residential charger up to $1,000. The statute reads “this section shall not apply to any property placed in service after June 30, 2026.” The test is the date it was energised — not the date it was contracted, purchased or invoiced — and no transition rule has been published. A job signed in June and finished in July lost the credit with no relief. I have found no IRS notice, revised form or safe harbour since. Several utility pages in California still list this credit as available. Effective 2026-06-30. Source: 26 U.S.C. §30C(i), as amended by P.L. 119-21 §70504 &lt;https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:26+section:30C+edition:prelim)&gt;. Verified 2026-09-09.</description>

<title>[ENDED] ALL: The federal new and used EV credits ended for vehicles acquired after 2025-09-30.</title>

<pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description>§30D (up to $7,500 new) and §25E (up to $4,000 used) both read “no credit shall be allowed … with respect to any vehicle acquired after September 30, 2025.” Acquisition, not delivery and not placed-in-service — a different test from the charger credit above, and the two must never be described in one sentence. Note also that §30D’s test itself changed, not just its date: it previously turned on placed-in-service. The binding-contract rule everyone quotes is IRS fact-sheet guidance, not statute. Utility pages in California still name the used-EV credit as a stacking partner. Effective 2025-09-30. Source: 26 U.S.C. §30D(h) and §25E(g), as amended by P.L. 119-21 &lt;https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:26+section:30D+edition:prelim)&gt;. Verified 2026-09-09.</description>

<description>§45W closed to vehicles acquired after 2025-09-30. Its wording differs from the others: no credit shall be determined, rather than allowed. I have found no guidance on whether that distinction does any work. Caps were $7,500 under 14,000 lb and $40,000 at or above. Effective 2025-09-30. Source: 26 U.S.C. §45W(g), as amended by P.L. 119-21 §70503 &lt;https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:26+section:45W+edition:prelim)&gt;. Verified 2026-09-09.</description>

<description>It is an instant discount at participating retailers or a midstream buy-down at participating distributors. There is no contractor application — Form 320C-WH covers gas tankless only. Never tell a customer you will file it. Effective 2026-08-07. Source: Energy Trust Form 320C-WH v2026.4 (260810) &lt;https://www.energytrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/HES_FM0320C-WH.pdf&gt;.

<description>Manufactured homes only, on PGE or Pacific Power, primary electric resistance heat, participating trade ally required. Ducted also needs a home built 1985 or later with an electric forced-air furnace. It is not a general heat pump promotion and quoting it as one is the mistake to avoid. Effective 2026-04-20.

<description>25C ends for property placed in service after 2025-12-31. 25D ends for expenditures made after 2025-12-31. They are not the same test and merging them into one sentence will eventually cost somebody money. This is the most common stale belief in the market. Effective 2025-12-31.
