I think you might be thinking of the form when you’re buying out a lease and resell it within 10 days. No real way to get tax back in CA if you purchased it.
Hi
I have looked thoroughly here and this topic has not been discussed.
In CA, you are allowed to payoff your leased car in order to resell it without paying taxes on the payoff IF you can sell it back and to a third party which would need to register the car within ten days of the original leasee recieving the title form the lessor company. BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE CAR IS TRANSFERED TO THE NEW ONWER WITHIN 10 days.
Now is the tricky part.
What if I payoff the car and sell it to s deal…
