    Hi all

    I bought my 2012 Prius 3 on march 4th and I just came across this post. I got my car through the internet sales department for Momentum Toyota in Fairfield, CA. Although the sales guy never mentioned a rebate? Is there a website I can go to so that I can verify if I'm eligible?

    Was it from the state or CSEC?

    The rebate discussed in this thread is for the plug-in model.

    Never mind my last post. I found out after doing some research. As far as Prius owners are concerned, the rebate only applies to Plug-in drivers. ::shake fist:: :)

    It was from CSEC. It was actually Clean Vehicle Rebate Project on the check, I think. I will confirm in a few minutes. It was definitely not State of California. The address was in San Diego on Balboa Street.

    Update: Sorry, yes, it is CSEC

    Looks like those in Southern California are getting them first. Makes sense, since they are being mailed from San Diego. We'll see how long snail-mail takes to get them to those of us in Northern California. :)

    It's also dependent upon when the paperwork was received at their offices. My application reached them on March 24th. I imagine that LurkAzusa and Tracksyde sent their applications in much sooner than I did. I'm gonna guess I'll get my rebate check in a couple of weeks...

    Nice. When did you send in your stuff? You have had your PIP for about a month, right?

    On the check stub, there was a date.. I'm pretty sure that was the date they received my application (just confirmed, yes, I filled out the online form on 2/28).. well, my online application. That date was Feb 28 2012. If I recall, I sent all my paperwork in on 3/2 or 3/5.

    So has anyone here gotten their rebate check other than Tracksyde and LurkAzusa?

    Not yet, I got my confirmation of documentation received on 3/9 - about a week after them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives this week.

    Of course you should check with your accountant, but I don't think this rebate is taxable. If for some reason it is taxable, I imagine you'd be able to deduct the sales tax you paid on the rebate amount.

    Earlier discussion noted it's not taxable because it's a rebate of money you paid to buy the car, rather than some form of extraneous "income."

    The check arrived in the mail today, roughly a three week process from approval.
