# Background

4.24.22.1.1 (08-10-2021) Background The federal government levies excise taxes to finance general government activities and specific programs. Excise taxes are assessed on the sale, use, or inventory of various types of goods, services, or activities. The taxes may be imposed at the time of the sale by the manufacturer, the sale by the retailer, or use by the consumer. Since there are numerous legislative changes to excise tax law and procedures throughout the tax year, the procedures in this IRM correlate with the excise tax forms and publications. The IRM 4.24.22 addresses the excise tax situations most frequently encountered by the campus. The guidance contained in the IRM 4.24.22 and other applicable IRMs cannot address every possible taxpayer inquiry. If the taxpayer's inquiry cannot be resolved by using the available references, it may be necessary to consult the lead or manager to determine the appropriate action. Any issue or question that cannot be resolved at the site-level or could have Servicewide impact should be elevated to the appropriate Planning & Analysis (P&A) policy analyst with program responsibility. Note: By following the processes and procedures outlined in this IRM, the Excise Tax Program will measure performance, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and business results for the employees and the organization. The group manager conducts technical, procedural, and administrative reviews. These reviews include workload, closed case, in process, technical time report reviews, etc. All documented reviews are recorded in the Embedded Quality Review System (EQRS). EQRS links the quality attributes to the employee's critical job elements and provides the group manager with employee performance reports. The National Quality Review System (NQRS) is a parallel system that uses quality attributes to provide an assessment of organizational quality results.

# Excise Operations Telephone Transfer Guidance (TTG)

4.24.22.3.1 (08-10-2021) Excise Operations Telephone Transfer Guidance (TTG) Centralized Excise inquiries received by Accounts Management (AM) Customer Service Representatives (CSR) are considered out of scope. The CSR may prepare a referral (IRM 21.3.5, Taxpayer Inquiry Referrals Form 4442) or transfer the call as follows: Note: Sites that have the Infrastructure Upgrade Project (IUP) numbers should use the four-digit number to transfer calls. If Then Tax Law issues relating to Excise taxes See IRM 21.1.1.3, Customer Service Representative (CSR) Duties, for new tax law procedures. Installment Agreement/Reinstatement requests and installment agreement payment inquiries Transfer #1089 Account issues related to Excise taxes Transfer #90284 IUP #3021 Note: Advise the caller that you are going to attempt to transfer the call to the Excise toll-free number and provide the number, 1–866–699–4096, to the caller. If the call does not go through, they can dial that number directly (See hours of operation in paragraph (4) below). Tax Law issues relating to Affordable Care Act (ACA) Excise Tax, Indoor Tanning Services, Medical Device, and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Trust Fund Fee Transfer #92113 IUP #1113 Centralized Specialty Tax Operations at the Cincinnati Campus cannot answer payment installment inquiries or initiate installment agreements (Status 60 accounts). Route installment agreement calls to #1089. Note: Do not send the Form 2290 filer a stamped Schedule 1 after the first installment agreement payment. The tax must be paid in full before a stamped Schedule 1 can be issued to the taxpayer. All Schedule 1 requests must be referred to the Excise Operations for consideration. Before disclosing any tax information, you must be sure you are speaking with the taxpayer or authorized representative. See the Taxpayer Authentication guidelines in IRM 21.1.3.2, General Disclosure Guidelines. Also, before leaving any messages on a taxpayer's answering machine, review IRM 11.3.2.6, Methods for Communications of Confidential Information. Fax procedures contained in IRM 10.8.1.3.18.6.2.2, Facsimile and Facsimile Devices, must be reviewed prior to faxing confidential information to the taxpayer. The Excise Operation phone numbers are listed below: If taxpayer is calling from: Then they may call this number: The United States 1-866-699-4096 (toll-free) Canada or Mexico 1-859-320-3581 (not toll-free) Note: The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST. Calls cannot be transferred to Centralized Excise at any other time. Customers cannot leave a message. An AM CSR may transfer a misapplied payment to a Form 2290 account (Master File Tax Account (MFT) 60). If a misapplied payment is transferred out of a MFT 60 module without a TC 150, the CSR must check the account filing requirements with Command Code (CC) ENMOD or CC INOLE. If it is determined that the misapplied payment erroneously opened a Form 2290 filing requirement, remove the filing requirement. If the CSR is unable to determine whether the filing requirement should be removed from the account, route the inquiry to Excise Operations. Calls may be transferred from AM to the Excise Operation using the Transfer Pin Program. Refer to IRM 21.1.3.2.6, Accepting Transferred Calls When the Taxpayer Provides a 4 Digit Transfer PIN, for additional information.

See IRM 4.24.22.4.1.7.2, Form 720-X, Tax Decrease for additional CAT-A information. All Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement are CAT-A. Note: There are various issues on certain forms throughout IRM 4.24.22 that have CAT-A criteria. Always check for CAT-A criteria before adjusting an account. An agent in the Cincinnati Excise Centralized Specialty Tax Classification Team will evaluate cases with CAT-A criteria and determine if the case should be allowed, selected for examination, or if "no consideration" procedures should be followed. See Exhibit 21.5.3-2, Examination Criteria (CAT-A) - General, for additional information on CAT-A criteria. Always contact the Large Corp Technical Unit before making an adjustment on a "Large Corp" case or notice. See IRM 21.7.1.4.11.4, Campus Contacts for Large Corp Cases, for additional information. For Form 720 filed returns that have not posted to the account, refer to IRM 25.23.9.4.1 BMF Returns Selected for Return Integrity and Compliance Services (RICS) Review, for how to identify if the return has been selected for RICS BMF Identify Theft (IDT) review. If there is no TC 150 posted because the return is being held pending a RICS review and it has been 23 weeks since RICS selected the return (TC 973), then fax a Form 4442, Inquiry Referral, to RICS at 844-201-5531. Indicate in Section B this is a request to review the Form 720 selected return to see if a case determination can be made and complete RICS case processing. Note: Only RICS employees have the authority to determine if the return in question is RICS BMF IDT or not. Do not send any copies of a Form 720 return to be processed as the original return.

# Statute Awareness

4.24.22.3.3 (08-10-2021) Statute Awareness It is every IRS employee's responsibility to protect the statute of limitations. A statute of limitation is a time period established by law to review, analyze, and resolve taxpayer and IRS-related issues. Employees must always check the statute of limitation before adjusting a taxpayer's tax account. In general, the period of limitation is three years from the due date of the return, the date the return was actually filed, or two years from the date of payment, whichever is later. If tax is assessed on an account where the period has expired, the adjustment will go unpostable. Decreasing the tax on an account where the period has expired causes an erroneous abatement. Tax increases within 90 days of the Assessment Statute Expiration Date (ASED) are statute imminent and must be expedited to the Statute Function. The Excise Statute Coordinator will provide local routing instructions for statute imminent cases. Note: A tax decrease does not go unpostable on an account where the period has expired. You must use extreme caution when decreasing the tax on an account where the statute has expired. A tax increase cannot be assessed after the period has expired. However, if an IRS No. (also known as abstract number) was not previously reported on Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, the period does not start to run for that unreported IRS No. until a return is filed reporting that IRS No. The manual assessment process must be used anytime the Form 720 has an expired period, or is within 90 days of expiration and tax is being assessed for a previously unreported IRS No. for that tax period. Hand carry manual assessments to the Statute Function. See IRM 25.6.1.9.10.3, Excise Tax Amended Form 720, for additional detail. If tax cannot be assessed, input a Transaction Code (TC) 290, using blocking series 05, 15, or 00 and advise the taxpayer that the time to assess the additional tax has expired. If a claim is filed for tax that was reported on a return and paid timely (is not an erroneous assessment), and the period has expired, formally disallow the claim. Input a TC 290.00 using blocking series 98 or 99 and indicate in the remarks field "statute expired." Send a 105C letter and advise the taxpayer that the time for filing a claim has expired and give them appeal rights. See IRM 25.6.1, Statute of Limitations Processes and Procedures, for additional information.

# Integrated Automation Technologies (IAT)

4.24.22.3.4 (08-10-2021) Integrated Automation Technologies (IAT) Effective June 17, 2013, Excise Operation employees are required to use the mandated Integrated Automation Technologies (IAT) tools shown in the table below. The IAT tools simplify taxpayer account processing by assisting the user with IDRS research and input. The required use of these tools applies to all phone and paper programs. The following list are mandatory IAT tools when processing taxpayer accounts on IDRS: ACT ON, Address, Credit Transfer, Disclosure, ESTAB, FRM49, Letters, Payment Tracer, or TC Tracer The following list are suggested IAT tools: Business Master File On-Line (BMFO) Reasonable Cause Assistant (RCA), Fill Forms, Name Search, Phone Number, Quick CC, Manual Refund, REQ54, REQ77, Code Search Index (CSI), Undeliverable Tool, and UP Histories Note: Due to the volume of IRC 6427 interest bearing fuel claims ( Claims reported on Form 8849, Schedules 2, 3, and 8), the Excise Operation is unable to use the IAT Manual Refund Tool for fuel claim manual refund preparation and monitoring. If an IAT tool is not available, or an employee has a problem with the IAT Tool Manager (ITM), the case should be processed with established IDRS procedures. The IAT Website at http://iat.web.irs.gov/ can be used to subscribe to the IAT newsletter, report problems with IAT tools, and research IAT job aids.

# Monitoring Centralized Excise Manual Refunds

4.24.22.3.5 (08-10-2021) Monitoring Centralized Excise Manual Refunds When a manual refund is generated by a team, the tax module must be monitored to ensure a duplicate refund condition does not occur on the account. The IAT Manual Refund Tool cannot be enhanced to accommodate the volume of manual refund refunds generated by the Centralized Excise Operation. The tool is recommended for all SB/SE employees, but not mandatory. Centralized Excise Operation (Campus Compliance Operations, Cincinnati) employees must follow the instructions below in lieu of the procedures listed in IRM 21.4.4.6.1, Monitoring Manual Refunds. Management is responsible for ensuring manual refunds are monitored each week; however, the actual monitoring can be delegated to a team employee. When the monitoring employee is on leave, management must reassign the monitoring task to a backup employee. After a case is closed on IDRS with a manual refund (Command Code (CC) RFUND input or a Form 3753 is prepared for the Accounting Function), the following actions must be followed: Establish a new IDRS control base using a team number and five unique numbers not being used by the team (e.g., 0280100000). The Activity Code is "WT840" , the Case Status Code is B (Background), the Control Category is MISC, and the IRS Receive Date is the current date; Monitor the account each week (Monday through Wednesday) until the transaction code (TC) 840 posts. Document the monitoring actions on the Manual Refund Listing. A spreadsheet with appropriate headers may be used in lieu of an aged listing report. Each line of the listing must be documented. Notate each pending TC 840 as "TC840 Pending." If a Form 3753 was prepared, notate "Form 3753" . If a refund was deleted, indicate "DQ." To simplify the documentation, it is acceptable to use ditto marks, vertical lines, etc. for each notation type. This action must be taken on each page of the listing. The monitoring employee will initial and date each page of the listing. Note: If a Form 3753 has been processed by the Accounting Function, a TC 971 AC 664 will appear on the account. If a TC 971 AC 664 is on the account or a TC 840 is showing as rejected (RJ), unpostable (Unnn), or resequencing (Rnnn), do not prepare another manual refund. The refund has been issued by the Service. When the TC 840 posts to the tax module, the following actions must be taken: Notate on the manual refund listing: "TC840 Posted." ; Notate whether an erroneous refund was issued on the module. If no erroneous refund was issued, notate "No E/R." If an erroneous refund was issued, notate "E/R" and indicate the corrective actions taken to resolve the erroneous refund. An attachment can be used to document the corrective actions; Initial and date each page of the listing; Update the control activity to "840POSTED" ; and Close the control base. When there is an erroneous refund, take the following corrective action: If Then A TC 846 or a subsequent TC 840 appears after initiating the manual refund or a pending credit transfer does not have an appropriate credit hold (e.g., TC 570) Contact the input area and request that the transaction be deleted (CC RVIEW or CC TERUP) or input CC NOREF to stop a TC 846.

# Retail Tax

4.24.22.4.1.4.5 (01-13-2023) Retail Tax The first retail sale of certain truck chassis and bodies, trailer and semitrailer chassis and bodies, highway tractors, and related parts and accessories is subject to a 12 percent tax (IRS No. 33). This tax is imposed by IRC 4051. The retail sales price applies to the total consideration paid (including the value of a trade-in), but it does not include insurance or delivery charges. The tax applies to: Truck chassis and bodies, except truck chassis and bodies suitable for use on a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 33,000 pounds or less, Trailer and semitrailer chassis and bodies, except trailer and semitrailer chassis and bodies suitable for use with a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or less, and Tractors chiefly used for highway transportation in combination with a trailer or semitrailer, except tractors that have a gross vehicle weight of 19,500 pounds or less and a gross combined weight of 33,000 pounds or less. Generally, gross combined weight is the weight of the tractor, the weight of its trailer(s), equipment, driver, passengers, fuel and pay load (everything that moves with the vehicle). The taxable sales price includes the price for parts and accessories sold on, with, or in connection with the sale of a taxable article, even if the parts are billed separately. The tax also applies to accessories purchased separately within the first six months after a vehicle is placed in service, unless the total cost of all accessories during that period does not exceed $1,000. The tax imposed on parts and accessories sold on or in connection with the units listed above and the tax imposed on the separate purchase of parts and accessories for the units listed above do not apply to an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved idling reduction device installed on a tractor or insulation that has an R value of at least R35 per inch. Reminder: An idling reduction device is any device or system of devices that provide the tractor with services, such as heat, air conditioning, and electricity, without the use of the main drive engine while the tractor is temporarily parked or stationary. The device must be affixed to the tractor and determined by the Administrator of the EPA, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy and Secretary of Transportation, to reduce idling while parked or stationary. An article listed in (1) above shall not be considered manufactured or produced solely by reason of repairs or modifications to the article (including any modification which changes the transportation function of the article or restores a wrecked article to a functional condition), if the cost of such repair or modification does not exceed 75 percent of the retail price of a comparable new article. This will also apply in cases where the owner uses a glider kit to repair the vehicle if the cost of the repair or modification does not exceed 75 percent of the retail price of a comparable new article. This provision does not apply to an article that was not subject to the tax when it was new. Example: The owner of a used tractor restored the tractor by adding new components and rebuilding others. The restoration was necessary because the tractor was worn from use. The owner then continued to use the tractor in the owner's trade or business. The cost to restore the tractor was equal to 70 percent of the retail price of a comparable new tractor. Since the cost of the restoration did not exceed 75% of the retail price of a comparable new tractor, no retailers excise tax is imposed under section 4051(a) of the Code on the sale or the use of the tractor. Input adjustment on MFT 03 using TC 290 and the appropriate IRS No.

# Excise Tire Tax

4.24.22.4.1.4.8.1 (08-10-2021) Excise Tire Tax For Compliance research and studies similar to the tire tax study required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, six new fields were added to the non-money fields on Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) for decrease or increase to the tire counts on Form 720 tax modules (MFT 03). The six new tire count fields correlate with IRS Nos. 108, 109, and 113 and CRNs 396, 304, and 305. Each count displayed on IDRS is nine digits long. Example: IRS No. 108 tire count - If tire count for 1 tire, the display is 000000001. IRS No. 109 tire count - If tire count for 12 tires, the display is 000000012. IRS No. 113 tire count - If tire count for 100 tires, the display is 000000100. CRN 396 tire count - If tire count for 2,250 tires, the display is 000002250. CRN 304 tire count - If tire count for 900,200 tires, the display is 000900200. CRN 305 tire count - If tire count is for 1,000,000 tires the display is 001000000. In addition, six new adjustment reference numbers are needed to adjust the tire count numbers in (2). The reference numbers are: 900 tire count will adjust the 108 Tire Count field. 901 tire count will adjust the 109 Tire Count field. 902 tire count will adjust the 113 Tire Count field. 903 tire count will adjust the 396 Tire Count field. 904 tire count will adjust the 304 Tire Count field. 905 tire count will adjust the 305 Tire Count field. To input an adjustment to a tire count field, you must overlay the tire count field with the new number of tires (increase or decrease). Example: A Form 720 is filed claiming an increase to the number of super single tires designed for steering (IRS No. 113). The Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) shows that 200 tires were previously reported and Form 720-X, Amended Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, shows an additional 4,000 tires. The adjustment is input with a Transaction Code (TC) 290 for $378.00, IRS No. 113 for $378.00, and overlay the tire count display for reference number 902 using 00004200. Reminder: When adjusting the tire counts, add the current number of tires to the new number of tires and overlay the tire count field with the new tire count. If more than two tire counts need to be overlaid on one adjustment, then multiple adjustments must be input. Use Posting Delay Code (PDC) 1 on the second adjustment to allow one posting per cycle. The tire count adjustments are displayed on the Tax Module Display (TXMOD) and the Business Master File Online (BMFOL). See IRM 4.24.22.4.5.6.11, Form 8849, Schedule 6, Tire Tax, for processing procedures. The adjustment for the count of tire tax must be input on MFT 03. No other MFT is programmed for this type of adjustment.

Through research, the Institute will assist patients, purchasers, and policy-makers in making informed health decisions by advancing the quality and relevance of evidence-based medicine through the synthesis and dissemination of comparative clinical research findings. The ACA created IRC 9511 to establish a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (PCORTF) with the Secretary of the Treasury as a trustee. This legislation also created IRC 4375, IRC 4376, and IRC 4377, which impose fees on health insurance policies and self-insured health plans to provide net revenues for the PCORTF. The issuers of specified health insurance policies and sponsors of applicable self-insured health plans pay and report the fees with Form 720. Returns are due July 31 of each year.

Note: The SHIP-LIVES, ASIHP-LIVES, SHIP-LIVES-OCT-CNT, and ASIHP-LIVES-OCT-CNT are overlay informational fields and do not adjust up and down. When adjusting the lives field, you must overlay the count field with the new total number of lives regardless of previous adjustments. The ADJ54 DRN field contains ten digits and requires zero(s) to the left of the amount. A lives count of 85,000 must be input as 0000085000. These are adjustable amount fields, but will never post below zero (negative amount). Note: The SHIP, SHIP-OCT-AMT, ASIHP and ASIHP-OCT-AMT fields adjusts up and down with the input of CRNs 813, 814, 815 and 816. They are combined to determine the IRS No. 133 tax liability amount. See Form 720, Part II IRS No. 133 for additional line details. Example: The original return reports IRS No. 133 as $10,250.00. The SHIP is $10,250.00 and the SHIP-LIVES display is 10250. If the taxpayer files an amended return and reports SHIP-LIVES as 12,250, SHIP as $12,250.00, and IRS No. 133 as $12,250.00, the adjustment should include TC 290 for 2,000.00, IRS No. 133 for 2,000.00, CRN 813 for 2,000.00, and DRN 906 for 0000012250. Example: The original return reports IRS No. 133 as $40,000.00. The SHIP is $25,000.00, SHIP-LIVES display is 25000, ASIHP is $15,000.00, and ASIHP-LIVES display is 15000. If the taxpayer files an amended return and reports SHIP-LIVES as 25,000, SHIP as $25,000.00, AHSIP LIVES as 45,000, ASIHP as $45,000.00, and IRS No. 133 as $70,000.00, the adjustment should include TC 290 for 30,000.00, IRS No. 133 for 30,000.00, CRN 814 for 30,000.00, and DRN 907 for 0000045000. If the ADJ54 screen is unable to handle all the necessary reference numbers, then multiple adjustments must be input. Use Posting Delay Code (PDC) 1 on the second adjustment to allow one posting per cycle. Credit Reference Number (CRN) 439 is used to report Schedule C claims. Form 720X is used to make adjustments to previously filed tax returns. If the taxpayer files an amended tax return with IRS No.133 present, check the filing requirement code (FRC). See IRM 4.24.22.4.1.1, Form 720, Filing Requirements, for additional FRC information. If the taxpayer is only reporting IRS No. 133, the appropriate FRC is 4. If the FRC is not 4, review the quarters of the previous and current calendar year to determine the IRS No. filing history. If the account history shows multiple IRS Nos. reported on Form 720, the appropriate FRC is 1. If necessary, update the FRC using CC ENREQ.

However, annual claims cannot be filed for the Alternative Fuel Mixture credit and sales of gasoline and aviation gasoline by Registered Ultimate Vendors or Registered Credit Card Issuers. Generally, an annual claim is made on Form 4136 for the income tax year during which the fuel was used by the ultimate purchaser, sold by the registered ultimate vendor, used to produce a mixture, or used in mobile machinery. The Form 4136 instructions provide additional information.

# Nontaxable Use of Fuel Claims (Lines 1 through 6 and Lines 14b through 14d)

4.24.22.4.1.6.1 (08-10-2021) Nontaxable Use of Fuel Claims (Lines 1 through 6 and Lines 14b through 14d) The nontaxable use of fuel claim requirements for lines 1 through 6 and lines 14b through 14d are: The amount of the claim must be at least $750 (combining amounts on lines 1 through 6 and 14b through 14d). This amount may be met by: making a claim for fuel used during any quarter of the claimant's income tax year or aggregating amounts from any quarter of the claimant's income tax year for which no other claim has been made, Claims must be filed during the first quarter following the last quarter of the claimant's income tax year included in the claim, Only one claim may be filed for any quarter, The fuel must have been used for a nontaxable use during the period of claim, and The ultimate purchaser is the only person eligible to make the claim.

# Fuel Mixtures and Alternative Fuel Claims (Lines 12 and 13)

4.24.22.4.1.6.3 (01-13-2023) Fuel Mixtures and Alternative Fuel Claims (Lines 12 and 13) The biodiesel and renewable diesel mixture credit (line 12) expired on fuels and mixtures used or sold after 12/31/17. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-94), enacted on December 20, 2019, retroactively extended the biodiesel and renewable mixture credits for sales and uses beginning January 1, 2018 through December 21, 2022. Note: Notice 2020-08 provides requirements claimants must follow to make a one-time claim for payment of biodiesel (including renewable diesel) mixtures sold or used during 2018 and 2019. Claims for 2018 and 2019 must be filed on a single Schedule 3 Form 8849 and must be filed on or before August 11, 2020 biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit. Public Law 117-169, commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act, extended the biodiesel and renewable diesel mixture credits through December 31, 2024. For claims that relate to periods other than the calendar years of 2017, 2018, and 2019, a credit must first be taken on Form 720, Schedule C, to reduce the taxable fuel liability for gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene (IRS Nos. 60, 104, 35, 69, 77, 62, and 14) reported on Form 720. The credit taken against the claimant's tax liability must be determined without regard to the LUST tax liability. Any excess credit may be filed on Form 720, Schedule C, Form 8849, Schedule 3, Certain Fuel Mixtures and the Alternative Fuel Credit, Form 4136, Credit for Fuel Tax Paid on Fuels, or Form 8864, Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit. The person that produced and sold or used the mixture in their trade or business is the only person eligible to make this claim. The credit is based on the gallons of biodiesel or renewable diesel in the mixture. The claim requirements are below: The claim must be for a biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture sold or used during a period that is at least 1 week. The amount of the claim must be at least $200.00. To meet this minimum, amounts from lines 12 and 13 may be combined. (If this requirement and the one above cannot be met, the taxpayer must file an annual claim Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels.) The biodiesel used to produce the biodiesel mixture must meet ASTM D6751 and meet the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives under section 211 of the Clean Air Act. The renewable diesel used to produce the renewable diesel mixture must be derived from biomass, meet ASTM D975, D396, or other equivalent standard approved by the IRS, and meet EPA's registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives under section 211 of the Clean Air Act. Renewable diesel also includes fuel derived from biomass that meets a Department of Defense specification for military jet fuel or an ASTM specification for aviation turbine fuel. If used in aviation, kerosene is treated as if it is diesel fuel. Note: Renewable diesel no longer includes fuel derived from biomass that meets the requirements of a Department of Defense specification for military jet fuel or an American Society for Testing & Materials specification for aviation turbine fuel. In addition, kerosene is no longer treated as diesel fuel for purposes of the renewable diesel mixture credit. These changes are effective for fuel sold or used after December 31, 2022. The Certificate for Biodiesel and if applicable, Statement of Biodiesel Reseller, must be attached to the first claim filed that is supported by the certificate or statement. (See the Form 720 Instructions for additional information.) Public Law 117-169 commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act, created a new sustainable aviation fuel credit for mixtures sold or used after December 31, 2022. The sustainable aviation fuel credit is $1.25 plus a supplementary amount equal to $.01 for each percentage point by which the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction percentage with respect to such fuel exceeds 50 percent. The supplementary amount shall not exceed $.50. The claim must be for sustainable aviation fuel sold or used during a period that is at least one week. The amount of the claim must be at least $200.00. To meet this minimum, amounts from lines 12 and 13 may be combined. (If this requirement and the one above cannot be met, the taxpayer must file an annual claim Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels.) The IRC 6426 alternative fuel mixture and IRC 6426 alternative fuel credits (and IRC 6427 payments) expired on December 31, 2017. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116-94), enacted on December 20, 2019, retroactively extended the alternative fuel and alternative fuel mixture credits for sales and uses beginning January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-260), enacted December 27, 2020, extended the credits to December 31, 2021. Note: Notice 2020-08 provides requirements claimants must follow to make a one-time claim for payment of alternative fuels sold or used during 2018 and 2019. Claims for 2018 and 2019 must be filed on a single Schedule 3 Form 8849 and must be filed on or before August 11, 2020. Note: Notice 2020-08 provides requirements claimants must follow to claim the alternative fuel mixture credit for 2018 and 2019. For the 2018 and 2019, all alternative fuel mixture credit claims must be made on Form 720-X. Claimants must file one Form 720-X for 2018 claims and a separate Form 720-X for 2019 claims. Note: The alternative fuel mixture credit claims for any quarter may not exceed the claimant's IRC 4081 liability incurred in the quarter for which the credit is being claimed. Further, IRC 6430 provides in part that the alternative fuel mixture credit shall not be applied against tax imposed at the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate. The IRC 6426 alternative fuel mixture and IRC 6426 alternative fuel credits (and IRC 6427 payments) expired on December 31, 2021. Public Law 117-169, commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act, retroactively reinstated and extended the alternative fuel and alternative fuel mixture credits through December 31, 2024. Note: Notice 2022-39 provides requirements claimants must follow to make a one-time claim for the alternative fuel credit for the first, second, and third quarters of 2022. Claims for the first, second, and third quarters of 2022 must be filed on a single Form 8849, Schedule 3, and must be filed on or before April 11, 2023. Note: Notice 2022-39 also provides requirements claimants must follow to claim the alternative fuel mixture credit for the first and second quarters of 2022. For the first and second quarters of 2022, all alternative fuel mixture credit claims must be made on Form 720-X. The alternative fuel credit claimant is the registered alternative fueler who: Sold an alternative fuel at retail and delivered it into the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle or motorboat, Sold an alternative fuel, delivered it in bulk for taxable use in a motor vehicle or motorboat and received the required statement from the buyer, Used an alternative fuel (not sold at retail or in bulk as described above) in a motor vehicle or motorboat, or Sold an alternative fuel for use as a fuel in aviation. For claims that relate to periods other than the calendar years of 2017, 2018, and 2019, an alternative fuel credit must first be taken on Schedule C to reduce the liability for the claimant's IRC 4041 tax liability (IRS Nos. 112, 118, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, and 79) reported on Form 720. The credit taken against the claimant's tax liability must be determined without regard to the LUST tax liability. Any excess credit may be claimed on Schedule C (720), Form 8849 (Schedule 3), or Form 4136. The alternative fuel mixture credit claimant is the registered alternative fueler that produced and sold or used the mixture as a fuel in their trade or business. The credit is based on the gallons of alternative fuel in the mixture. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-94) clarified alternative fuel mixtures mean a mixture of taxable fuel and alternative fuel other than liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied gas derived from biomass, and compressed gas derived from biomass. The alternative fuel mixture credit must first be taken on Schedule C to reduce the taxable fuel liability for gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene (IRS Nos. 60, 104, 35, 69, 77, 111, 62, and 14) reported on Form 720. The credit taken against the claimant's tax liability must be determined without regard to the LUST tax liability. Note: Alternative fuel mixtures produced after 12/31/2011 can only be claimed on Schedule C (Form 720) or Form 720-X. The alternative fuel credit and alternative fuel mixture credit may not be claimed for alternative fuel produced outside the United States for use as a fuel outside the United States. The United States includes any possession of the United States. The alternative fuel credit claimant must be registered by the IRS with a Form 637 Registration, Activity Letter "AL" . The alternative fuel mixture credit claimant must have an activity letter "AM."

See Form 720-X for additional information . Note: The IRC 6426 alternative fuel mixture and IRC 6426 alternative fuel credits (and IRS 6427 payments) have expired as of 12/31/2021. The credits previously expired on 12/31/17. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-94), enacted on December 20, 2019, retroactively extended the alternative fuel and alternative fuel mixture credits for sales and uses beginning January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-260), enacted December 27, 2020, extended the credits to 12/31/2021. The IRC 6415 conditions for claim allowance on Form 720-X apply to IRS Nos. 22, 26, 27, and 28. The claimant must have repaid the amount of the tax to the person from whom it was collected or have the consent of that person for the allowance of the adjustment. The IRC 6416(a) conditions for claim allowance on Form 720-X apply to all other IRS Nos. except 18, 19, 20, 21, 29, 30, 31, 51, 64, 98, 117, 125 and 133; or if tax is based on use of IRS Nos. 71, 79, and 112, 118, 120-124.

Input any adjustment on MFT 03 for the quarter in which the tax was originally reported, or should have been reported, using TC 291 for a tax decrease or TC 290 for a tax increase, using the appropriate IRS No. Credit interest is allowable on an overpayment of tax liability reported on a Form 720 filed for previous quarters. If the box on line 5b of Form 720-X is checked, the overpayment is shown on line 7 of Form 720. Line 6 of Form 720 should include the amount from line 7, if any, as an overpayment from a previous quarter. Input any adjustment on MFT 03 for the quarter in which the tax was originally reported, or should have been reported, using TC 291 for a tax decrease or TC 290 for a tax increase on MFT 03 and appropriate IRS No. See IRM 20.1.4.10, Form 720 Reporting Requirements, if a failure to deposit penalty may apply.

# Form 720-X, Tax Increase

4.24.22.4.1.7.1 (08-10-2021) Form 720-X, Tax Increase For tax increases, input the tax increase on the appropriate prior tax period. If you cannot determine there is an overpayment from the current period to satisfy the tax increase: Wait for the TC 150 to post on the current quarter. However, do not jeopardize the statute of limitation. If there is an overpayment on the current quarter, apply the overpayment to the prior quarter being adjusted, using TC 820 and TC 700. Use the date the overpayment became available, which would be the due date/received date (whichever is later) of the current quarter. Do not restrict interest. Normal debit interest (underpayment) rules apply. Address the late deposit penalty and assess if applicable.

# Form 720-X, Tax Decrease

4.24.22.4.1.7.2 (08-10-2021) Form 720-X, Tax Decrease For tax decreases, see chart below: If Then Decrease is over ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Send CAT-A.

Claim (Form 720-X) allowed Input the tax decrease on tax period being corrected. If the taxpayer requested a refund (Line 5, a), use amended claims date and allow overpayment to refund. If the taxpayer is using the overpayment against their tax liability on the current quarter (Line 5, b), apply credit using TC 820 and TC 700. On the 820 side, use the RDD of the tax period you are adjusting as the date the overpayment became available. On the 700 side, use the return due date (RDD) of the current quarter. Compute interest from the later of the RDD, Late Return Received Date, Return Processable Date (RPD), or Credit Availability Date of the quarter being adjusted to the RDD of quarter where the overpayment is being used. See IRC 6611(g), for more information If the taxpayer does not check either Line 5 box, use amended claims date and allow overpayment to refund. Claim (Form 720-X) disallowed Input appropriate disallowance adjustment and letter. If CAT-A, follow any special instructions provided by the Excise Revenue Agent. If it is necessary to compute credit interest on a Form 720-X overpayment, see IRM 20.2.4, Overpayment Interest, and the chart below for assistance: If Then Credit interest before 1/1/99 for a "Non-Corporate" taxpayer Compute using COMPAC.

4.24.22.4.1.8 (08-10-2021) CP 183, Missing IRS No., Form 720 CP 183 is generated with Form 15105 and issued to the taxpayer when the Form 720 does not provide a breakdown of the tax liability by IRS No. (abstract number). The notice requests a tax breakdown within 30 days. When IRS Nos. are not identified by the taxpayer, the original return is coded with a Computer Condition Code (CCC) "Z" and processed with IRS No. 080 (unidentified/unknown IRS No.). If the taxpayer provides a complete response, take the following action to correct the tax module: Input a TC 290 with zero and the appropriate IRS Nos. and amounts. If the taxpayer provides an amended tax return, the tax liability may need to be addressed on the ADJ54, On the same ADJ54 reverse the IRS No. 080 amount with a minus (-), and Review penalties and interest for correction. Note: One time filings, returns reporting a net tax liability less than $2,500, and IRS Nos. 20, 41, 42, 44, 51, 64, 106, 110, 114, 117, 125, 133, and 140, do not require federal tax deposits.

# Disregarded Entities

4.24.22.4.1.10 (08-10-2021) Disregarded Entities Generally, after December 31, 2007, qualified subchapter's subsidiaries (QSubs) and eligible single-owner disregarded entities are treated as separate entities for excise tax payments and reporting purposes. QSubs and eligible single-owner disregarded entities must pay and report excise tax activities, register for excise tax activities, and claim any refunds, credits, and payments under the entity's Employer Identification Number (EIN). These actions cannot take place under the owner's Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Some QSubs and disregarded entities may already have an EIN. If the taxpayer is unsure if they have an EIN, the taxpayer may call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax line at 1-800-829-4933. Generally, QSubs and eligible single-owner disregarded entities will continue to be treated as disregarded entities for other federal tax purposes (other than employment taxes). Example: Taxpayers filing a Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels, with Form 1040, Individual Income Tax Return, can use the owner's TIN.

# Electronic Filing for Form 720, Quarterly Excise Tax Return

4.24.22.4.1.11 (08-10-2021) Electronic Filing for Form 720, Quarterly Excise Tax Return Electronic filing for Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, is available through an Electronic Return Originator (ERO), transmitter, and/or Intermediate Service Provider (ISP) participating in the IRS e-file program for excise taxes. The ERO, ISP and Transmitter can be separate entities; however, most of the electronic filed returns are filed using a web-based service provider. The Modernized e-File (MeF) system allows two alternative signature options for business taxpayers and the ERO to sign electronic returns filed via MeF. The taxpayer must decide whether to use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to sign the return or whether they authorize the ERO to enter the PIN chosen by the ERO. The filer can choose to sign the applicable Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, that must be scanned and attached to the return when transmitted. A paper copy of the scanned Form 8453 should not be mailed to the IRS. The business filer can also choose the Practitioner PIN Option, using the applicable Form 8879, e-file Signature Authorization, that is retained by the ERO as part of the taxpayer's record and is not sent to the IRS. An electronic return will be rejected if the required signatures are not present. See IRM 3.42.4, IRS e-file For Business Income Tax Returns, for additional information.

# Form 720, Excise Tax Reported on Duplicate, Amended, or Supplemental Returns

4.24.22.4.1.12 (01-13-2023) Form 720, Excise Tax Reported on Duplicate, Amended, or Supplemental Returns A duplicate filing condition occurs when a return (TC 976) posts to a module already containing an original return (TC 150). IDRS generates a -A freeze which prevents any refund or offset from the tax module until an adjustment (TC 29X) is input. IDRS also generates a Transcript (TRNS) 193 or TRNS 293 which is associated with the TC 976 tax return. All excise duplicate filing conditions are systemically controlled on IDRS with category DUPX. All duplicate filing conditions age in 45 days and are not considered correspondence. If correspondence is attached to the duplicate return, the case must be re-controlled with category "TPRQ" . See IRM 21.7.9, BMF Duplicate Filing Conditions, for additional information. The -A freeze must be resolved before closing the case. Determine and resolve the duplicate filing condition by examining and comparing the return and IDRS information. Use the TRNS 193, duplicate return, CFOL command codes (CCs), and original return (secure only if absolutely necessary) to resolve the case. The generation of the TRNS 193 is considered the first request for the missing tax return. If the TRNS 193 is received with the duplicate return: Research IDRS CCs and/or pull returns from Files to determine if the tax reported on the duplicate, amended or supplemental return should be considered as a tax increase or tax decrease. See IRM 21.7.9.4.1, Resolving TRNS 193s and Amended/Corrected/Supplemental Returns, for additional information. If it is determined the duplicate return is a true duplicate (no change), see IRM 21.7.9.4.1.3, True Duplicate. If the TRNS 193 is received without the duplicate return attached: Research the Business Return Transaction File View (CC BRTVU) to determine if it is a true duplicate and/or for another tax period. If Files is unable to secure the return, input another request as Special Search and suspend the case for 15 days. If a copy of the return cannot be secured from Files after 15 days, attempt to call the taxpayer to request a copy of the return(s). If unable to reach the taxpayer by phone, send Letter 418C to request a copy of the returns(s) and suspend the case for 40 days. If the return has not been secured, the suspense period has ended, and no payment was received with duplicate return: Input TC 290 $.00 to release the -A freeze. Send appropriate C-letter to the taxpayer to inform them of the determination. If a payment was received with the duplicate return: Assess tax equal to the payment amount. If module credit balance is in excess of payment submitted with return, determine reason for additional excess credit. Resolve any misapplied payments or other module freeze conditions before making an assessment. Follow the guidelines in IRM 21.5.2.4.23.11, Reprocessing Dummy Returns, when it is necessary to recreate or reprocess a return. When adjusting accounts: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Use caution when inputting Hold Codes.

4.24.22.4.2.11 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Electronic Filing for Taxpayers Reporting 25 or More Vehicles Treasury Decision 9698 contains final regulations that provide guidance on the mandatory electronic filing of Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, reporting 25 or more vehicles. For purposes of defining 25 or more, this includes the number of vehicles for which tax is reported and does not include tax suspended vehicles. Filing a paper Form 2290 for 25 or more vehicles does not constitute a failure to file (FTF) for the purposes of penalty under Section 6651 and the IRS will not withhold a receipted Schedule 1 for not electronically filing the return. The IRS and the Treasury Department continue to consider ways to ensure compliance with the electronic filing requirement. The Employee User Portal (EUP) is used to access electronically filed tax returns. See IRM 3.42.8.6.1.1, Employee User Portal (EUP), for system access information. The Schedule 1 is systemically sent to the Electronic Return Originator (ERO). The ERO or the Intermediate Service Provider (ISP) will provide the taxpayer with an electronically receipted (water marked) Schedule 1. The taxpayer can file multiple tax returns and/or amended returns electronically. See IRM 4.24.22.4.1.11, Electronic Filing for Form 720, Quarterly Excise Tax Return, for information on signature requirements.

# Schedule 1 (Form 2290), Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information

4.24.22.4.2.11.1 (08-10-2021) Schedule 1 (Form 2290), Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information Beginning July 1, 2007, the Consent to Disclose Tax Information document was included with the Form 2290. The document must be signed by the taxpayer and/or third party before information can be shared with participating states. The information shared includes: VINs (vehicle identification numbers) reported on Schedule 1, and Verification that tax has been paid (reported on line 6 of Form 2290) . If the document is signed, IRS may disclose the information to the federal Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and to the state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

# Used Vehicles

4.24.22.4.2.12 (08-10-2021) Used Vehicles The buyer of a used taxable vehicle is required to keep records showing whether there was a use of the vehicle or a suspension of the tax during the period before the vehicle was registered in the name of the buyer. The evidence of use may be a written statement signed and dated by an individual or dealer from whom the buyer purchased the vehicle. If a previous owner of a registered vehicle uses the vehicle first during a taxable period, the previous owner is liable for the tax only for the months the vehicle was used by the previous owner. See IRM 4.24.22.4.2.14, Form 2290, Claims, for information about prorating the tax for claiming a refund. See IRM 4.24.22.4.2.8, Form 2290, Vehicle Sold While Tax is Suspended, for information about vehicles transferred while tax is suspended. See IRM 4.24.22.4.2.12.1, Privately Purchased Used Vehicles, for information about vehicles purchased privately. The second owner is liable for the tax for the remaining months of the taxable period the vehicle is used on public highways by the second owner (prorated tax period). Form 2290 must be filed and the tax paid by the last day of the month after the month the vehicle is first used on a public highway. If the previous owner used the vehicle on public highways and has not paid the tax, and the new owner uses the vehicle before the end of the taxable period, the new owner becomes liable for the total tax for the entire period to the extent not paid by the previous owner. The new owner must file Form 2290 and pay the tax by the last day of the month after the month notification is received from the IRS that the tax has not been paid in full.

# Privately Purchased Used Vehicles

4.24.22.4.2.12.1 (08-10-2021) Privately Purchased Used Vehicles Treasury Decision 9698 provides guidance on the tax computation for privately purchased used vehicles. If a vehicle is sold on or after July 1, 2015, but before June 1, 2016 (allowing a credit or refund of tax to the seller because the tax was paid in full) and the buyer's first taxable use (such as driving it from the purchase location to the buyer's home or business location) is in the month of sale, the buyer may prorate their tax by one month. Example: John, the seller, paid the tax in full for the tax period July 2015 through June 2016 and sold Jane, the buyer, the vehicle on January 4, 2016. On the date of purchase, Jane drove the vehicle on public highways. She is required to file a tax return by February 29, 2016. The tax return will report a prorated total tax for the period February 2016 to June 2016. Caution: Although the tax is prorated by one month, the due date of the Form 2290 does not change. The buyer should enter the month after the sale on the Form 2290, Line 1. In the example above, Jane will enter February (201602) on Line 1 of the Form 2290. In the example above, Jane will enter February (201602) on Line 1 of the Form 2290, and the due date will be February 29, 2016. If a vehicle is sold, the name and address of the purchaser must be included with the seller's claim for a credit or refund of tax paid. Refer to IRM 4.24.22.4.2.14, Form 2290, Claims, for additional supporting documentation requirements. The tax on the buyer's use of a vehicle after the purchase is computed by multiplying a full tax period's tax by a fraction. The fraction numerator is the number of months in the period from the first day of the month after the month of sale through the end of the tax period and the fraction denominator is 12 (the number months in the entire tax period). Example: On June 2, 2015, Jack paid the full tax of $430 for the use of his 70,000 pound taxable vehicle (July 2015 through June 2016). Jill purchased the used vehicle from Jack on September 8, 2015 and drove it on a public highway from Jack's home to her business location. Jack, the seller, can claim a credit or refund of the tax he paid on the 9 months after the sale. Since the seller paid the tax in full for the tax period and Jill's first taxable use was to drive the vehicle to her business location in the month of sale (September), her prorated tax is computed from the first day of the next month (October) through the end of the taxable period, June 30, 2016. Jill's prorated tax is $322.50 (9 (October through June) / 12 (July through June) X $430).

# Dual Registration

4.24.22.4.2.13 (08-10-2021) Dual Registration If a taxable vehicle is registered in the name of both the owner and another person, the owner is liable for the tax. This rule also applies to dual registration of a leased vehicle. Any vehicle operated under a dealer's tag, license, or permit is considered registered in the name of the dealer.

# Form 2290, Claims

4.24.22.4.2.14 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Claims Credit Reference Number (CRN) 365 should be used for line 5 (credit) adjustments. Submission Processing transcribes line 5 using CRN 365 in initial processing. If a credit adjustment is required for line 5, input using TC 290 and CRN 365. A TC 766 will generate for CRN 365. To reverse the credit, input TC 290 and CRN 365 (with a minus). The reversal will generate a TC 767. Taxpayers may use line 5 of the Form 2290 to claim a credit for tax paid in the three following circumstances: Vehicle was sold, Vehicle is destroyed (so damaged by accident or other casualty it is not economical to rebuild it) or stolen before June 1 of the taxable period and is not used during the remainder of the taxable period, or Vehicle was used during the prior period 5,000 miles or less (7,500 for agricultural vehicles). Note: A vehicle with a blown motor is not considered a destroyed vehicle. The amount of the line 5 credit cannot exceed tax liability reported on the return. Any excess credit must be claimed as a refund using Form 8849, Schedule 6. Note: A module credit balance of $10.00 or more will generate an L- Freeze Code. The module is frozen from refund or offset. The credit must be addressed to avoid future transcript generation. See IRM 21.5.6.4.23, for L- Freeze and freeze condition release information. A credit, reduced tax, exemption, or refund is not allowed for an occasional light or decreased load or a discontinued or changed use of a vehicle. Instead of taking a line 5 credit on Form 2290, the taxpayer may make a claim on Form 8849, Schedule 6. See IRM 4.24.22.4.5.6.12, Form 8849, Schedule 6, Claims Relating to Taxes Reported on Form 2290.

# Form 2290, Vehicle Destroyed, Stolen, or Sold

4.24.22.4.2.14.1 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Vehicle Destroyed, Stolen, or Sold A vehicle is destroyed when it is damaged by accident or other casualty to such an extent that it is not economical to rebuild. Note: A vehicle with a blown motor is not considered a destroyed vehicle. A repossessed vehicle is not a sold vehicle. Any refund claim based on a repossessed vehicle must be disallowed with the appropriate disallowance letter. Note: This includes a vehicle voluntarily returned to the dealership, seller, and/or financial institution. If one vehicle is traded for a new vehicle, IRS treats it as a sale for purposes of the tax imposed by IRC 4481, and the credit for vehicles sold, destroyed, or stolen. The seller, in whose name the vehicle was registered, can claim a prorated credit of the tax paid. The buyer must file a Form 2290 and pay a prorated tax on the vehicle. The 60 day proof of payment rule applies to the buyer for purposes of registering the vehicle with the state. IRM 4.24.22.4.2.3, Form 2290 Required Proof of Payment, provides proof of payment details. The taxpayer is required to provide an explanation detailing the facts for each credit. For vehicles destroyed, stolen or sold, the taxpayer must include: The vehicle identification number (VIN), The taxable gross weight category, The date of destruction, theft, or sale, A copy of the credit worksheet provided in the form instructions, and If the vehicle was sold on or after July 1, 2015, the name and address of the purchaser of the vehicle. Note: The claimant may submit a police report or insurance claim as supporting documentation, but it is not required to process the claim. Input adjustment using TC 290 and CRN 365 to adjust credit. Note: A module credit balance of $10.00 or more will generate an L- Freeze Code. The module is frozen from refund or offset. The credit must be addressed to avoid future transcript generation. See IRM 21.5.6.4.23 for L- Freeze and freeze condition release information.

# Form 2290, Vehicles Used 5,000 Miles or Less

4.24.22.4.2.14.2 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Vehicles Used 5,000 Miles or Less The person who paid the tax may claim the credit on the first Form 2290 for the next taxable period. Reject any Form 2290 claiming the credit that is filed during the tax period to which the claim relates. Claim for refund may be filed on Form 8849, after tax period has ended. See IRM 4.24.22.4.5.6.12 and the Form 8849, Schedule 6 instructions. Reject any Form 8849 claiming a refund that is filed during the tax period to which the refund relates.

# Form 2290, Conversion to Exempt Use

4.24.22.4.2.15 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Conversion to Exempt Use There are no provisions in the law to allow a credit, exemption, or refund for: An occasional light or decreased load, and/or A discontinued or changed use of vehicle. Note: Common examples of discontinued use are: a vehicle with a blown motor, a reprocessed vehicle, or a vehicle voluntarily returned to the dealership, seller, and/or financial institution. Reject claim using appropriate disallowance letter.

# Form 2290, Reduction in Weight Of Vehicle

4.24.22.4.2.16 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Reduction in Weight Of Vehicle There is no provision in the law for a credit or refund if weight of vehicle decreases during a taxable period. Refund can be given only if change is due to a reporting error. If taxpayer is claiming weight that is less than reported, proof is needed. The vehicle registration will show weight at which vehicle is registered. Taxpayer must file Form 8849, Schedule 6, to claim a refund based on a reporting error.

# Form 2290, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Correction

4.24.22.4.2.17 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Correction If the taxpayer must correct a VIN previously reported on a filed Schedule 1, a corrected tax return must be filed with the IRS. The taxpayer must check the "VIN Correction" box located on page 1 of the Form 2290. If the correction on Schedule 1 is a typographical error (transposed or incorrectly entered characters within an otherwise correct VIN), stamp the Schedule 1 and return one copy to the taxpayer. The second copy, including the corrected return, must be associated with the original tax return by adjustment action or an appropriate DLN association form (i.e., Form 10023-B). If the new VIN is completely different from the original VIN, the taxpayer must provide an explanation. When an explanation is not available, attempt to contact the taxpayer and process the VIN Correction based upon the taxpayer's response. The VIN could be completely different for the following reasons: The vehicle first reported was sold prior to the beginning of the tax period and the vehicle was erroneously added to the current tax return. The taxpayer may provide a copy of the sales receipt showing the date of sale, or The vehicle first reported was wrecked prior to the beginning of the tax period and was erroneously added to the current tax return. The taxpayer may provide a copy of the insurance claim showing the date of loss. If the explanation is sufficient, stamp the Schedule 1 and return one copy to the taxpayer. The second copy, including the corrected return, must be associated with the original tax return by refile adjustment action or an appropriate DLN association form (i.e., Form 10023-B). The explanation must remain with the case file. If the explanation is received by phone (oral statement), document the phone call and include the statement with the case file. If the explanation is insufficient or the taxpayer does not respond to IRS contact within the requested time frame, assess additional tax for the new VIN and advise the taxpayer of the assessment with an appropriate C letter. Note: A credit or refund cannot be given, unless the tax has been paid on both VINs. If tax is paid on both vehicles and the taxable year has ended, the taxpayer may file a claim for refund on Form 8849, Schedule 6, with the appropriate documentation.

# Form 2290, Loose Schedule 1

4.24.22.4.2.18 (08-10-2021) Form 2290, Loose Schedule 1 During the Form 2290 paper (pipeline) process, the Schedule 1 can be erroneously detached from the original tax return or misrouted to a campus function. In some cases, the Schedule 1 is mailed to the IRS without a tax return or returned to the campus as undeliverable. A separated schedule is called a Loose Schedule 1 and is routed to the Excise Operations for resolution. The July 2011 revision of Schedule 1 was expanded to a full page to allow the entry of 24 vehicles. Taxpayers are instructed to complete and file two copies of the Schedule 1. The Excise Operations will research IDRS with the information available on the Schedule 1 and take the following action: If And Then Undeliverable N/A Research for a correct address. No address found N/A Associate loose Schedule with return. A different address is found N/A Re-mail to taxpayer. Account is not full paid There is a discrepancy between what was reported on original return and vehicles listed on Schedule 1 Contact the taxpayer by phone to resolve discrepancy. If necessary, correspond with taxpayer. A completed Schedule 1 is received Payment received (TC 610, no TC 150) is equal to the number of vehicles shown on Schedule 1. Contact the taxpayer by phone and request a completed copy of the tax return by fax. If necessary, send a Letter 418-C to request a completed copy of the tax return. An E-Filed Schedule 1 is received. Payment received (TC 610 and TC 150 posted) and is equal to the number of vehicles shown on Schedule 1. Can be destroyed as Classified Waste. Taxpayer is able to retrieve the watermarked Schedule 1 from their E-File provider. An E-Filed Schedule 1 is received Schedule 1 used a payment voucher and received with a payment.

# Form 2290, Duplicate Filing Condition (TRNS 193)

4.24.22.4.2.19 (01-13-2023) Form 2290, Duplicate Filing Condition (TRNS 193) The procedures in IRM 21.7.9, BMF Duplicate Filing Condition (TRNS 193), will be used to resolve Excise Tax duplicate filing conditions. IRM 4.24.22.4.1.12, Form 720, Excise Tax Reported on Duplicate, Amended Returns, or Supplemental Returns, provides additional information regarding Excise Tax duplicate filing conditions. Note: Edit (circle) any incorrect tax period when reprocessing a Form 2290. Enter the correct tax period using the YYYYMM format in the upper right corner of the tax return. A Form 2290 duplicate filing condition occurs when a return (TC 976) posts to a module already containing a return (TC 150). IDRS generates a -A freeze which prevents any refund or offset from the module until an adjustment (TC 29X) is made. IDRS also generates a TRNS 193 or TRNS 293 (open TC 420), which is associated with the TC 976 return and forwarded to the Excise Operation for resolution. The -A freeze must be resolved before closing the case. Determine and resolve the duplicate filing condition by examining and comparing the return and IDRS information. Use the TRNS 193, duplicate return, CFOL command codes (CCs), and original return (secure only if absolutely necessary) to resolve the case. The generation of the TRNS 193 is considered the first request for the missing tax return. If the TRNS 193 is received with the duplicate return: Research IDRS CCs and/or pull returns from Files to determine if the tax reported on the duplicate, amended or supplemental return should be considered as a tax increase or tax decrease. See IRM 21.7.9.4.1, Resolving TRNS 193s and Amended/Corrected/Supplemental Returns, for additional information. If it is determined the duplicate return is a true duplicate (no change), see IRM 21.7.9.4.1.3, True Duplicate. If the TRNS 193 is received without the duplicate return attached: Research the Business Return Transaction File View (CC BRTVU) to determine if it is a true duplicate and/or for another tax period. If Files is unable to secure the return, input another request as Special Search and suspend the case for 15 days. If a copy of the return cannot be secured from Files after 15 days, attempt to call the taxpayer to request a copy of the return(s). If unable to reach the taxpayer by phone, send Letter 418C to request a copy of the return(s) and suspend the case for 40 days.. If the return has not been secured, the suspense period has ended, and no payment was received with duplicate return: Input TC 290 $.00 to release the -A freeze. Send appropriate C-letter to the taxpayer to inform them of the determination. If a payment was received with the duplicate return: Assess tax equal to the payment amount. If module credit balance is in excess of payment submitted with return, determine reason for additional excess credit. Resolve any misapplied payments or other module freeze conditions before making an assessment. Follow the guidelines in IRM 21.5.2.4.23.11, Reprocessing Dummy Returns, when it is necessary to recreate or reprocess a return. When adjusting accounts: ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ ≡ Use caution when inputting Hold Codes. See IRM 21.5.2.4.15, Rules on Hold Codes. Posting Delay Codes are used to make some transactions post later than others when multiple transactions are required to adjust an account. See IRM 21.5.2.4.17, Posting Delay Code (PDC). Determine and resolve duplicate filing conditions by examining and comparing information. The tax technician will use the TRNS 193, duplicate return, original return, and CFOL command codes to resolve the case. While reviewing a duplicate Form 2290 case, it is important to compare the VIN data between the TC 150 and TC 976 (secure additional returns only if absolutely necessary). If the taxpayer does not provide a reason (no reply), assess additional tax or reprocess the return based on the information available. Issue a letter of explanation to the taxpayer. Caution: If no reply and the duplicate return reports the same VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) as reported on the original filing, extra research should be done before any payments are returned to the taxpayer. Review the taxpayer's filing history especially if the duplicate is received at the end of the filing period, i.e., does the taxpayer have a history of filing before the tax period begins, are there returns filed for all previous filing periods. If it appears the taxpayer used the wrong duplicate Form 2290 to the current tax period, transfer payments to the current tax period and send the appropriate letter stating actions taken on the taxpayer's account. Note: A module credit balance of $10.00 or more will generate an L- Freeze Code. The module is frozen from refund or offset. The credit must be addressed to avoid future transcript generation. See IRM 21.5.6.4.23 for L- Freeze and freeze condition release information.

# Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering

4.24.22.4.3 (08-10-2021) Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return For Wagering, is used by persons who accept taxable wagers to register certain information and to pay the occupational tax. The MFT is 63 and the tax class is 4. Anyone engaged in the business of receiving taxable wagers is required to file Form 11-C. This may include organizations that are otherwise exempt from tax under IRC 501 or IRC 521. Taxable wagers include: Those placed on a sports event or contest, Those placed in a wagering pool conducted for profit, with respect to a sports event or contest, and Those placed in a lottery conducted for profit (other than a state-conducted lottery). The dual purpose Form 11-C allows the taxpayer to report and pay the occupational tax under IRC 4411 and to register certain information with the IRS before accepting taxable wagers. The return is filed and the tax is paid by taxpayers who are principals or agents prior to conducting business. An agent is anyone who accepts taxable wagers on behalf of the principal. An agent may be liable for excise tax on wagers if they do not report the principal's name and address. (This is found in section 44.4401-2(a)(2)). A principal is a person who is in the business of accepting taxable wagers on his or her own behalf. This person is at risk for the profit or loss depending on the outcome of the event or contest for which the wager was accepted. Principals are liable for the excise tax on wagers, which is reported on Form 730, Monthly Tax Return for Wagers. The occupational tax is: $50 per year if all taxable wagers received are authorized under the laws of the state in which accepted, or $500 per year for all other taxable wagers.

# Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes

4.24.22.4.5 (08-10-2021) Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes Form 8849 is used to claim refunds relating to excise taxes. The Form 8849 is not considered correspondence under Policy Statement P-21-3. See IRM 21.3.3.2, What is the Definition of Correspondence? - Policy Statement P-21–3 Exclusion List, for additional information. The following schedules are attached to Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes: Schedule 1 - Nontaxable Use of Fuels, Schedule 2 - Sales by Registered Ultimate Vendors, Schedule 3 - Certain Fuel Mixtures and the Alternative Fuel Credit, Schedule 5 - Section 4081(e) Claims, Schedule 6 - Other Claims, or Schedule 8 - Registered Credit Card Issuers At least one schedule must be attached to Form 8849. Schedules 2, 3, 5, and 8 cannot be filed with any other schedules; therefore, each of these schedules requires a separate Form 8849. Since the Form 8849 includes all the information necessary for the IRS to determine if a claim is allowable, any person who attempts to make an informal claim without using this form must be sent the form for completion. Send an appropriate no consideration letter. If a completed Form 8849 is subsequently received, the form is considered filed as of the stamp date the original claim was received. In order to process, claimant must have a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), either an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN). Some fuel claims (schedules) require an EIN. Use CFOL command codes to research entity. If no TIN is on record or none was provided by claimant, reject claim with appropriate no consideration letter. For Schedules 1-3: Claims on Schedule 1 generally are filed for fuels used during any one or more of the quarters of the claimant's income tax year. Claims on Schedules 2 and 3 are filed for fuels sold during any period of at least a week. These quarterly, monthly or weekly claims must meet the dollar amount and time for filing requirements described for each schedule; If the dollar amount and/or the time for filing requirements are not met for quarterly, monthly or weekly claims, an annual claim must be filed for these amounts; Annual claims generally are made on Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels, and attached to the income tax return for the year the fuel was used (or sold, as applicable). See IRM 21.7.4.4.9.1, Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels; Annual claims by the United States, state and local governments, and organizations exempt from income tax under IRC 501(a) (provided that the organization is not required to file Form 990 -T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, for that taxable year) are made on Form 8849, Schedule 1, Nontaxable Use of Fuels. For these claimants, the annual claim must be filed within 3 years of the close of the claimant's taxable year. The taxable year is based on the calendar year or fiscal year it regularly uses to keep its books. There is no minimum dollar amount on the annual claim; Ultimate Vendor claims may be received prior to a return posting (TC 150). If so, adjust claim using appropriate MFT 02, 05, 06, or 34 tax module for income tax return filed by taxpayer. Use tax year relative to tax period on claim (such as 201208 or 201212). If taxpayer is a fiscal year filer, the correct Fiscal Year Month (FYM) must be used. For Ultimate Purchaser claims, use MFT 40; or When processing fuel tax claims, the credit adjustment must be input on the tax year indicated on Form 8849. (Check CC ENMOD for fiscal year filer.) Caution: When the taxpayer has specific filing requirements (Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return; Form 1120-C, U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations; Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return; Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income; Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts; or Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return), and it is within two cycles of return's original due date, input the adjustment on the next tax year. For example, a claim for December 2012 would be input on tax year 2013 once it is two cycles from the March 15, 2013 return due date. This procedure avoids UPC 313 RC (9). This is not necessary for Ultimate Purchaser claims processed on MFT 40. If claim adjustment is input on MFT 02, follow IRM 21.4.6.4, Refund Offset Research. Caution: If taxpayer has DMF/TOP debt for the current processing year (PY), refer to Document 6209, Section 5, Debtor Master File, for a list of Agency and Sub Agency (AG/SA) Codes.

# MFT 40, Ultimate Purchaser Claims

4.24.22.4.5.1 (08-10-2021) MFT 40, Ultimate Purchaser Claims MFT 40 is used to process Ultimate Purchaser Claims (End User Claims) and some interest-bearing ultimate vendor claims issued systemically. See IRM 4.24.22.4.5.1.1, MFT 40, Interest Bearing Claims Systemically Processed, for more information. Interest bearing ultimate vendor claims (20-day and 45-day time frames) requiring a manual refund must not be processed on MFT 40. Note: Effective 01/01/2007, the tax class for MFT 40 is 3. Ultimate Purchaser Claims must be processed on MFT 40 using the following procedures: A dummy module must be created for the first claim that is processed using CC ACTON. (See the Command Code Job Aid on SERP, http://serp.enterprise.irs.gov/databases/irm-sup.dr/job_aid.dr/command-code.dr/idrs_command_codes_job_aid.htm). This establishes the MFT 40 module and is not required after the TC 150 posts to the module; Input TC 290 using the appropriate CRN for the fuel tax credit. The first TC 290 generates a TC 150 for zero tax liability; Let the refund generate systemically; do not issue a manual refund; and If it is necessary to input a manual refund, use priority code 6 with your adjustment. This alerts Master File that a TC 840 has been input and a TC 846 will not generate. Never use priority code 6 unless you are issuing a manual refund. One refund generates per cycle for the TC 290. If there are multiple transactions (TC 290), one refund generates the total of the credits per cycle. Example: For cycle 201250, two Ultimate Purchaser claims were processed for $800.00 each. The module will show one refund (TC 846) for $1,600.00 during the cycle. A CP 210 generates for each cycle, notifying the taxpayer of the refund. If a notice needs to be stopped, use appropriate hold code and write a letter of explanation to the taxpayer.

# MFT 40, Interest Bearing Claims Systemically Processed

4.24.22.4.5.1.1 (08-10-2021) MFT 40, Interest Bearing Claims Systemically Processed MFT 40 is also used to process interest-bearing claims that are systemically processed. To allow for systemic processing interest-bearing claims must meet the following requirements: Claim is not filed electronically, Claim can be timely processed (refer to the Document 6209 , Section 16, Julian Date, Cycle and Notice Calendars, for the appropriate IDRS input table to ensure the refund is issued with the 45-day interest free period), Claimant does not file weekly claims, No offsets to previously existing balances are required, and Claim meets requirements outlined in IRM 4.24.22.4.5.3, Sales by Registered Ultimate Vendor Claims, IRM 4.24.22.4.5.4, Certain Fuel Mixtures and Alternative Fuel Credits, or IRM 4.24.22.4.5.7, Registered Credit Card Issuers. Adjust the account as follows: Note: Close the control base on the Income Tax MFT (use CL2MFT40 for activity) Input the claim to the tax period identified by the year and last month of the period of the claim. (example a claim period of 1/1/20 to 3/31/20 processed on MFT 40 for 202003; for a claim period of 1/1/20 to 1/31/20 on MFT 40 for 202001); If no TC 150, use blocking series 40; If TC 150 posted, use appropriate blocking series and input TC 770 zero to restrict interest; Use TC 290 and applicable CRN, with allowable refund amount and no minus sign. A TC 766 will generate on Master File; Use the ending date of the claim period in the CORR-DT field and the beginning date of the claim period in the AMD-CLMS-DT field on REQ 54; Use "M" for control status. Use the same Activity and Control Category as original control base; Use a hold code 3 (holds the notice, not the refund); Use SD (source document) and appropriate history in remarks; Complete a Form 6502 as appropriate and attach Form 8849 for source document. Note: Close monitoring for unpostables on MFT 40 will be needed. Any potential interest-bearing claim that is unpostable will be refunded via manual refund using the claimant's income tax MFT (not on MFT 40). If there is pending previous claims, there is a possibility that two refunds will be issued in one check. Determine if a letter of explanation will be needed.

# Form 8849, Schedule 1, Nontaxable Use of Fuels

4.24.22.4.5.2 (01-13-2023) Form 8849, Schedule 1, Nontaxable Use of Fuels Schedule 1 claims may be made only by the ultimate purchaser of the fuel.

Example: An ultimate vendor submits a claim for undyed diesel fuel that was sold to a state and includes the required information list (EIN, name, and number of gallons of fuel sold) for each customer to whom he sold the fuel. The claim also includes gasoline sold to a nonprofit organization, but the customer information is missing. Call the ultimate vendor for the missing information and if there is no response within three business days, reduce the amount of refund for the gasoline entry and issue a Letter 106-C using partial disallowance procedures. If the claim address does not match the address of record, use the table below: If Then The claim is allowable. Send the refund to the address of record and: (1) Send a Letter 104-C to the address of record. Note: If a Letter 104-C has been issued within the last 6 months, do not issue another Letter 104-C. Issue refund to address of record. (2) Advise the taxpayer that a refund claim was received with the taxpayer's EIN but the claim address did not match the address of record. (3) If the taxpayer needs to change the address of record, a Form 8822, Change of Address, is required. (The Letter 104-C states how the form can be obtained by the taxpayer.) The claim is not allowable. Reject the claim using "no consideration" procedures as referenced in IRM 21.5.3.4.6.3. The taxpayer disagrees and gives an explanation of why it is not possible to change the address of record and needs to add another address (multiple locations, etc.). Advise the taxpayer that only one address of record is permitted and the refunds will continue to be sent to the address of record. Update IDRS with the following history item: 104C/REPLY. (Do not need to write additional letters if there are multiple claims.) Note: Do not accept a fax copy of Form 8822, Change of Address, for an ultimate vendor claim. See IRM 21.3.4.3.7, Use of FAX for Taxpayer Submissions. Ultimate vendor claims are interest bearing fuel claims (IRC 6427). To avoid payment of interest, electronically filed (e-file) interest bearing fuel claims must be processed within 20 days of the later of the claim receive date or claim processable date. Paper filed claims must be processed within 45 days of the later of the claim received date or claim processable date to avoid the payment of interest. If an allowable claim is not processed within these time frames, interest must be paid from the later of the claim received date or claim processable date to the refund scheduled date (less the appropriate back-off period for computer-generated refunds). Note: For excise taxes applicable to corporate returns, the lower corporate and GATT rates apply. See IRM 20.2.4.9, Special Credit Interest Rules for Corporations, for more information. Once the $10,000 GATT threshold has been met for the tax module, credit interest is computed at the GATT rate, including all subsequent claims. See IRM 20.2.4.9.1, GATT Credit Interest Computations on Overpayments. The correct taxable period for determining whether the $10,000 threshold has been met, is the taxable period from which the refund or credit is being made. The instructions below must be used to process valid interest bearing (20-day or 45-day) fuel claims. Check fiscal year, MFT/ filing requirements using CC ENMOD, Note: Fuel claims can be filed on several MFTs (02, 05, 06, 34). To avoid duplicate filings, all of the MFTs that meet the taxpayer's filing requirements must be reviewed before allowing the claim. Sole proprietors without income tax filing requirements use MFT 02. If duplicate claims are found on multiple MFTs, send the claim with supporting documentation to CAT-A for review. Check CC TXMOD and CC ENMOD for pending transactions, Math verify the claim, and Using CFOL, check for debit balances for offset. See IRM 21.5.6.4, Freeze Code Procedures, for freeze code definitions. Adjust account as follows: Note: If an interest-bearing ultimate vendor claim can be processed timely to be systemically refunded, refer to IRM 4.24.22.4.5.1.1. If no TC 150 is posted to the tax module, use blocking series 40, If TC 150 is posted to the tax module, use appropriate blocking series and input TC 770 for zero to restrict interest, Reminder: Only use TC 770 for zero if the taxpayer is not entitled to any interest. Use TC 290 and applicable CRN, with allowable refund amount and no minus sign. A TC 766 will generate on Master File, Use the following category codes for Schedule 2, Sales by Registered Ultimate Vendors, claims: SC2P, for a paper-filed claim and SC2E, for an electronically-filed claim, Use a Hold Code 4 on the adjustment when issuing a manual refund, and Interest bearing fuel claims may require a manual refund. See IRM 21.4.4, Manual Refunds, for manual refund procedures. The Accounting function within Submission Processing approves manual refund documentation. In order to meet the Accounting function deadlines, manual refund documentation for e-filed fuel claims must be input no later than the 15th day of receipt and the 42nd day for paper fuel claims. See IRM 20.2.10.4.3, Interest Rules for Ultimate Vendor and Fuel Tax Claims, for additional information. Note: Due to the volume of ultimate vendor claims, the Excise Operation cannot use the Integrated Automation Technology (IAT) Manual Refund Tool described in IRM 21.4.4.6.1, Monitoring Manual Refunds. IRM 4.24.22.3.5, Monitoring Centralized Excise Manual Refunds, provides manual refund monitoring guidance. If the claim is not allowable, reject the claim using "no consideration" procedures as referenced in IRM 21.5.3.4.6.3. For Claims under 10 pages, Scan the taxpayers unprocessable claim(s) to the designated common drive folder within the Cincinnati Centralized Specialty Tax Operation . Note: These files should be maintained electronically for 60 days. Input a TC 290-0 upon receipt of the claim(s). Forward the physical claim(s) to Files once the TC 290 has posted. If the claim is not allowable, reject the claim using "no consideration" procedures as referenced in IRM 21.5.3.4.6.3. For Claims over 10 Pages, Maintain physical claim(s) for 60 days in Cincinnati Centralized Specialty Tax Operation. Input a TC 290-0 once the 60-day period has expired. Forward the physical claim(s) to Files once the TC 290 has posted. Note: In rare occasions where additional information is required to be provided to the taxpayer, it may warrant mailing the physical claim to the taxpayer with Letter 916C. If missing information can be resolved via a telephone call, an attempt may be made to contact the taxpayer before partially disallowing the claim. If a claim is determined to be either disallowed or partially disallowed, refer to IRM 21.5.3.4.6.1 for processing procedures.

For the first and second quarters of 2022, all alternative fuel mixture credit claims must be made on Form 720-X. Before claiming a refund on Form 8849, Schedule 3, any biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit or sustainable aviation fuel credit must first be taken on Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, Schedule C, as a credit against the taxable fuel liability for gasoline, diesel fuel, or kerosene (IRS Nos. 60, 104, 35, 69, 77, 62, and 14) reported on Form 720. The alternative fuel credit must be taken on Form 720 as a credit against the claimant's IRC 4041 liabilities reported on Form 720 (IRS Nos. 112, 118, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, and 79). The credit taken against the claimant's tax liability must be determined without regard to the LUST tax liability. Any excess credit may be taken on Schedule C (Form 720), Form 8849 (Schedule 3), or Form 4136. The alcohol fuel mixture credit, (line 1) expired for claim periods after 12/31/2011.

Note: Claimant must attach the Certificate for Biodiesel and, if applicable, the Statement of Biodiesel Reseller, both of which must be edited to indicate that the fuel to which the certificate and statement relate is renewable diesel and that the renewable diesel meets the requirements listed above. Note: Renewable diesel is considered a taxable fuel. If the claimant did not report IRS No. 60 on Form 720, it does not mean that the tax has not been paid and further IRS Number (abstract) research may be needed to determine whether the excise tax was paid. See the chart below for the rates and requirements for Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Mixture Credit.
