Federal Tax Credit Resources

There are two IRS tax credits that school districts and bus operators with electric school buses can take advantage of: 45W Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit and 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit. The 45W tax credit expired for vehicles purchased after September 30, 2025, but the 30C tax credit is available now for charging stations installed by June 30, 2026. Through a new IRS system called elective payment, school districts can receive these tax credits via check. Find additional resources to promote these tax credits below.
