Fixed
2026-03-18
Module
Federal Module
Trigger
Weekly Stress Test -- March 18, 2026
The Claim
AI stated IRC §30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit has no location requirement.
The Error
For property placed in service after December 31, 2022, a census tract location requirement applies. Property must be located in a low-income community census tract under IRC §45D or a non-urban census tract per Treasury guidance. This applies to both residential and commercial property.
The Citation
IRC §30C; IRS FAQ on eligible census tracts for §30C (January 19, 2024)
Business Impact
A small business owner who claimed the §30C credit without meeting the census tract requirement faces credit disallowance plus potential accuracy-related penalty under IRC §6662 (20% of underpayment).
