Volkswagen Jetta TDI Buyers Get A $1300 Tax Credit
Buying green can really pay off sometimes. Volkswagen announced today that buyers of the Jeta TDI sedan and the SportsWagen (which will be available to buy in August) can claim a $1,300 Federal Tax Credit. Owners qualify for the “Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Vehicle” income tax credit.
The Jetta TDI received EPA estimate of 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway however when AMCI tested the vehicle in real world conditions it achieved far better - 38 mpg city and 44 mpg on the highway.
To use your tax credit you’ll need to fill out form 8910 which is available on the IRS website and attach it to your tax return. One thing to watch out for that we covered in a previous post is that according to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 when a car reaches 60,000 units sold the tax credit is phased out. So as long as your one of the first 60,000 buyers your eligible for the tax credit.
