Purpose of Schedule

Schedule 5 (Form 8849) (1-2001)

Example. Acme is a taxable fuel registrant that owns 10,000

gallons of gasoline that is being transported on a vessel in

the United States. On June 1, 2001, Acme sells the gasoline

to Bravo, a person that is not a taxable fuel registrant. Acme

is liable for tax on this sale. Acme prepares a First Taxpayer’s

Report related to this sale and gives a copy of the report to

Bravo.

On June 4, 2001, Bravo sells the same gallons of gasoline

to Charlie, a taxable fuel registrant. Bravo also gives Charlie

a copy of Acme’s First Taxpayer’s Report and a Statement of

Subsequent Seller. On June 9, 2001, the gasoline is removed

from a terminal at the rack. Charlie is the position holder of

the gasoline at the time of the removal and thus is liable for

tax on the removal. Charlie pays this tax to the government.

After Charlie has filed a return of this second tax, Charlie

files Form 8849 and Schedule 5 for a refund for the second

tax and includes a copy of the First Taxpayer’s Report and

Statement of Subsequent Seller. In Part I of Schedule 5,

Charlie enters “1840” in column 1(a). In Part II, Charlie enters

“1” in column (c); “06092001” in column (d); “10000” in

column (e); and “1840” in column (f).

A person who paid the second tax to the government uses

Schedule 5 to make a claim for refund.

The person who paid the second tax to the government is

the only person eligible to make this claim.

Generally, the claim must be filed within 3 years from the

time the return for the second tax was filed or 2 years from

the time the second tax was paid to the government,

whichever is later.

For each type of fuel, enter the total of all amounts from

column (f), Part II.

For each payment of a second tax, complete all the

information required.

Attach Schedule 5 to Form 8849. On the envelope write

“Section 4081(e) Claim” and mail to the IRS at the address

under Where To File in the Form 8849 instructions.

Total Refund

Add all amounts in column (a) and enter the result in the

total refund box at the top of the Schedule.
