Specific Instructions

Type of Use Table

The following table lists the nontaxable uses of fuels. You

must enter the number from the table in the Type of use

column.

Recordkeeping

Use Form 4136 to claim a credit for the Federal excise tax

on fuels sold or used for nontaxable uses (or sales) of fuel

during the income tax year. However, you may use Form

8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, to claim a periodic

refund of excise taxes instead of waiting to claim an annual

credit on Form 4136.

You must include in your gross income the amount of the

credit from line 9 if you took a deduction on your tax return

that included the amount of the taxes and that deduction

reduced your income tax liability. See Pub. 378 for more

information.

Instructions for Form 4136

information on nontaxable uses.

● Pub. 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide, also includes information

on credits for Federal excise tax on fuels.

partnerships) cannot file this form. Instead, they must include

a statement on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Partner’s Share

of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc., showing the allocation

to each partner specifying the number of gallons of each fuel

used during the tax year, the applicable credit per gallon, and

the nontaxable use or sale.
