Important: Phase-Out of the Energy Credits Online (ECO) for Clean Vehicle Credits Portal Begins in 2026

Effective February 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to submit edits, returns or cancellation requests for calendar year 2024 sales through the Energy Credits Online (ECO) portal.

Effective March 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to submit late time of sale reports for calendar year 2024 sales through the ECO portal.

Take action now. It is crucial that you promptly submit time of sale reports, returns, and cancellations to allow sufficient time for processing. This will help your customers avoid problems when trying to claim the credit on their tax returns during the upcoming filing season.

Reminder: You Must Repay the Advance Payment of the Clean Vehicle Credit When Returning or Cancelling a Time of Sale Report

When a dealer submits a return or cancels a time of sale report, they must repay the advance payment of the credit received at the original time of sale.
Pay.gov electronically sends an invoice and access code to the email address associated with the dealer’s advance payment registration. Payment will not be automatically debited.
When the invoice is received, the dealer should promptly repay the advance payment within 30 days of receipt of the invoice.
If a dealer is unable to locate the email containing the invoice and access code, please contact the IRS at irs.clean.vehicles.dealer.info@irs.gov to request a new one.

For more information on the expiration of the clean vehicle credits, see Fact Sheet 2025-05.
