I filed my taxes and used the deduction for a used 2020 hybrid vehicle that was purchased in 2023. The refund was not accepted stating the VIN number wasn't correct. I have verified and it is correct. Any reason why?

    I had the same problem with my return getting rejected. I followed the steps to confirm the VIN was correct and then resubmitted. The IRS just rejected my return again.

    Hi JDC,

    This seems to be happening because the dealership got the VIN reports in late. You may need to mail your return and include some paperwork from the dealership showing when it was purchased and when they filed the paperwork to register the VIN.
