credit is allowed for qualified coke or coke gas you produced
and sold to an unrelated person during the tax year.

Line 3
The $3 amount used to figure the credit must be adjusted by
multiplying it by the inflation adjustment factor for qualified
coke or coke gas for the calendar year in which the sale
occurs.
Inflation adjustment factor. The inflation adjustment factor
for coke or coke gas for each calendar year is provided in the
Internal Revenue Bulletin in April of the following year. The
Internal Revenue Bulletin is available at www.irs.gov/irb.

Line 6a

The coke or coke gas must not be produced in a facility that
produces coke or coke gas from petroleum-based products.

● Grants provided by the United States, a state, or a political
subdivision of the state for the project;

Taxpayers that are not partnerships, S corporations,

United States or a U.S. possession that was placed in service

January 1, 2010,
● The original use of the facility began with the taxpayer, and
● The fuel is sold during the period beginning on the later of

and ending 4 years after the date the period began.
● The fuel is not steel industry fuel for which a credit is
allowed on Form 8835, Renewable Electricity, Refined Coal,

using prevailing industry standards, then
2. Dividing the BTU value of the fuel by 5.8 million.
