It’s worth noting that the CNN article doesn’t say what happens if your taxes for the year are lower than the incentive.

I assume you get the full incentive at the dealership, and then are responsible for the difference come tax day.

So if your taxes are… say $4,000 and you buy a new car with the $7,500 rebate. That’s a difference of $3,500 and your taxes become 4K + 3.5K = $7,500 for that year… or so I’m assuming.

I believe with these sorts of things, you're signing it over to the dealership so it goes against THEIR tax burden, not yours.
