Form 8909, Energy Efficient Appliance Credit, was developed to carry out the provisions of new Code section 45M. This new section was added by section 1334 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58). The new form provides a means for the eligible manufacturer/taxpayer to compute the amount of, and claim, the credit.

US Code: 26 USC 45M(e)(1) Name of Law: Aggregate Credit Amount Allowed
Form 8909, Energy Efficient Appliance Credit, provides a means for the eligible manufacturer/taxpayer to compute the amount of, and claim, the credit.
The following changes were made to the form in accordance with IRC section 45M, as amended by P.L. 110-343, Division B, section 305.
1. Part II, we removed Type A clothes washer manufactured in calendar year 2008 since it is no longer applicable for 2009 (IRC 45M(b)(2)).
2. Part II, we removed Type A refrigerator manufactured in calendar year 2008 since is is no longer applicable for 2009(IRC 45M(b)(3)).
3. Part IV, we added new lines (21b-21i) to reflect the additional limitations for the aggregate credit allowed (IRC 45M(e)(1)). Taxpayers are required to limit the aggregate credit amount (cannot exceed $75,000,000) by all prior years beginning January 1, 2008.
These changes resulted in a total burden increase of 51 hours.
