Energy Credits Online Portal Downtime and Change in Date to Submit 2024 Edits, Returns or Cancellation Requests

The Energy Credits Online (ECO) Portal will be unavailable on Thursday, January 29, and Friday, January 30, 2026. Normal service will resume on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Please plan accordingly.

Due to this scheduled downtime, the phase-out date for submitting edits, returns, or cancellation requests for calendar year 2024 sales, through the ECO portal, has been extended to February 7, 2026.

The deadline for submitting late time-of-sale reports for calendar year 2024 sales remains March 1, 2026.

Take action now to submit time-of-sale reports, returns, and cancellations. Timely submission will help your customers avoid delays or issues when claiming the credit on their tax returns.

To help prevent processing delays, you can upload any supporting documentation - such as deal jackets, documents pertaining to the clean vehicle credit, or other relevant records - through the ECO portal when submitting time of sale reports, edits, returns and cancellations.

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