You can read up here that in IN, a price reduction is not taxable, it's treated the same way a discounted price is. Rebates are taxable. I would bring the following to the dealer at closing:

Indiana Sales Tax Info
In the OP's state, Discounted prices or price reductions from the manufacturer are not taxable.
My Bronco is built and waiting on Ice Mountain to be shipped. I proactively reached out to my sales guy at the dealership last week to make sure they knew about the 22 price protection. They didn't. He asked me to email him information which I did - directed him to Vincent system, sent screen shots of the FAQ incentive materials sent to dealers for program #38406, a copy of the customer cash auth form someone else had taken as an example, and a link to the Bronco Nation page talking about the $$ amounts (I don't like to let them know I'm on b6g forum - keeping all the forum info for myself).
Anyway.... he had the sales manager call me today to tell me the discount doesn't apply to me because my order for 2022 is less price wise than my 21 order. I don't even know this is the case - I ordered the Mod bumper, but removed Tow. I literally think they are saying my initial order was more money because of the headliner which now everyone is getting free. He said when he goes to Vincent and plugs my information in nothing comes up as being available for an incentive. I pressed him to make a call to his Ford rep for clarification but he sounded like he was brushing me off and I didn't know what I was talking about. Has anyone else's dealer mentioned the rebate not being applicable because their 21 order was less money? I already provided the guy with the blueprint with how to find it, but I must be missing something????

What direct mail offer?
Hopefully this will help some people.
I have not received any rebate or certificate in the mail (or email) from Ford. I'm a day 2 reservation holder who ordered a '21 and had to reorder for a '22.
No idea. This is just the information about the program that I found. You’ll need to talk to your dealer about it. When I went in to pick mine up, my dealer had everything ready and the rebate already taken off.

My '22 order on my Black Diamond was less money than my '21 after I removed the paint protection film and stuck with the capable bumper. My dealer gave me the full $825 I was supposed to get....(I'm picking it up next week, but he sent me the price sheet)
My understanding is it is not supposed to be limited to trim.....in other words, I could have ordered a Base and still gotten $825 off....so, obviously I wished I had originally picked a trim that would have given me the $925.
Right. That was my understanding too. I could have ordered a less expensive trim and would had the credit applied for the trim I had on the books on the October cut off.
Here is what I have accomplished so far. I contacted Ford. They provided me with a certificate number over the phone. I now have this number so at time of delivery it is applied to the process. BL two door . I was trying to figure out if anyone has actually successfully navigated this process.

Yes. The MY'21 order (pre-3/19) qualifies. Presumably, if you don't get a VIN for MY'22, then another certificate will be issued for MY'23.

Please refer to my follow-up post:
“Yep, I am aware of how taxes are applied. To clarify my original post, this Price Protection Certificate should not be applied as a rebate. The “certificate amount” should be subtracted from the base price of the vehicle (prior to tax being calculated). As you mentioned, since it’s applied as a rebate, tax is paid on the increased 2022 base price+any options etc (prior to the certificate amount being subtracted). Therefore, even with “price protection”, you pay more for a 2022 Bronco than you would have for a 2021 Bronco.”
….I’m well informed regarding the Indiana sales tax laws. In my case, the “price protection” amount which was applied as a rebate was only $250 (Outer Banks). So I was not inclined to argue over $17.50 ($250 x 7% tax) since my dealer is absolutely fantastic and second to none when it comes to customer service.
So how is this supposed to work? I took delivery of my 2-door basesquatch last Friday and the dealer told me that it would be a rebate from Ford. My reservation was July 14, 2020 and I didn't change my order at all. Should I just reach out to Ford customer service?

Dealer should have been able to pull your price protection as a certificate straight from smart Vincent.
Program #38406 it then would have been applied to your deal as cash. If you have already purchased they will owe you a refund. If they can’t find it ask if they can get with their ford dealer rep.

I never received anything from Ford, they had the certificate in the "computer" and it was taken off the MSRP when I bought the car.
