The Oklahoma Credit for Investment in Clean-Burning Motor Vehicle Fuel Property allows taxpayers to claim a tax credit for purchasing or converting to a qualified clean-burning motor vehicle. This credit is claimed using Form 567-A, which must be attached to the Oklahoma individual income tax return (Form 511-CR). The credit amount varies based on the gross vehicle weight of the qualified vehicle:
Credit Amounts by Vehicle Weight
- For qualified clean-burning motor vehicle fuel property related to qualifying vehicle conversions or vehicles originally equipped for qualified clean-burning fuels, the credit amount is determined based on the gross vehicle weight of the qualified vehicle as provided in Form 567-A instructions:
- Vehicles with gross vehicle weight rating:
- 6,000 pounds or less: $5,500 credit
- 6,001–10,000 pounds: $9,000 credit
- 10,001–26,500 pounds: $26,000 credit
- 26,501 pounds or more: $100,000 credit
- The credit applies only to qualified clean-burning motor vehicle fuel property that meets Oklahoma requirements.
