Tax Credit for someone filing as nonresident

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Does anybody know if someone filing federal taxes as a nonresident (1040NR) is still eligible for the $7500 tax credit when buying a Tesla?

I just moved to the US but since I moved towards the end of the year, my 2013 tax status will be non resident. Just realized I might not be able to claim the tax credit which would not be good!

Thanks
 
@MrPinrel Were you able to claim the credit. I am in the same boat as you.
If private use:

Clean Vehicle Credit is in Schedule 3 Line 6f
f Clean vehicle credit. Attach Form 8936 . . . . . . . . . . 6f


The applicable total line Schedule 3 Line 8 is included 1040NR Line 20.

I'm not a CPA, but I don't see anything special.
Other rules pages just say that the vehicle has to be used primarily in the USA. No mention of needing to be a US Resident.
