Title: Clean Vehicle Credits.

OMB Control Number: 1545-2137.

Revenue Procedure: 2022-42.

Abstract Revenue Procedure 2022-42 provides procedures for vehicle manufacturers to certify qualified clean vehicles and submit monthly reports to the IRS regarding vehicles eligible for the clean vehicle credits under sections 30D, 45W, and 25E. The collection of information is used by the IRS to verify manufacturer eligibility, determine whether vehicles satisfy statutory requirements, verify the amount of allowable credits, and support seller reporting obligations. This submission is limited to the collections associated with Form 15400, Clean Vehicle Seller Report, and the manufacturer monthly reporting requirements under Revenue Procedure 2022-42.

Current Actions: There has been a decrease in the number of respondents and overall burden due to statutory changes. The clean vehicle credits under sections 25E, 30D, and 45W, to which this collection relates, were terminated under the OBBBA for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. As a result of the statutory termination of the credits, the IRS expects a reduction in the volume of filings and associated burden associated with Revenue Procedure 2022-42, including Form 15400 and manufacturer monthly reporting requirements.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Individual, Business or other for-profit organizations.
