Alcohol and Bio-diesel Blend Tax Refund 8849, Schedule 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 720, 637
Background
On March 2, 2005, the IRS released the new form 8849, schedule 3 and its related instructions. This form is used for making claims on Alcohol and Bio-diesel mixtures. The amount and nature of these claims was changed by the JOBS act effective January 1, 2005. Prior to 2005 there was no credit for bio-diesel blends and a series of reduced rates of tax due on alcohol blends. The JOBS act eliminated the reduced rate system and created a new refund system for both alcohol and bio-diesel blends.
8849 – Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes
For alcohol fuel mixtures and biodiesel mixtures, you may file Schedule 3 (see below) when the amount of the refund is $200 and the period of the claim is at least one week. Note: You may combine alcohol and biodiesel amounts to reach the $200 minimum.
Reminder: Before you can claim a credit on Form 8849, the alcohol fuel mixture and biodiesel mixture credit must be taken against any taxable fuel liability on Form 720 (Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return). Any credit in excess of 720 liability can be taken in the form of a refund on the Form 8849 or as an income tax credit on Form 4136.
Biodiesel Certificate from Producer – Note: Before you can make a claim for the biodiesel mixture credit, you must have a certificate from the producer specifying the amount of biodiesel or agri-biodiesel in the mixture.
