That is great and all, but it is not the form the IRS is looking for. If it where, it would explicitly say it was a foreign manufacturers certification (the exact verbiage escapes me). As near as I can glean, the IRS audit letter is asking for a certification given to appliances. The form simply doesn't exist. The community has been calling, looking, and asking for this phantom form for a good little while now. The audit letter gives only a month to respond lest you forfeit the rebate. I've already sent in my answer, without the phantom form, explaining why. This is an example of how everything the government touches, it ruins. The rebate is a promise made, in writing by explicit IRS publication, that the money will be refunded for purchasing this eligible vehicle. Now the IRS sends this letter of harassment to thousands, I assume, of purchasers who cannot satisfy the demands of the audit. I await the comments when responses from the IRS come back, I suspect more harassment and lengthy fights to keep our money. This would be as if John Q. Taxpayer was sent an audit letter saying their dependant deduction was invalid and they needed to provide a doctor's certification that their child was human. The doctor would slowly whisper "fml" while instructing the parent to go fly a kite and the IRS hotline would put you on hold for seven hours only to hang up after a lengthy "let me check with my supervisor."
