Form 8909 (2009)

Manufacturers of qualified energy efficient appliances (eligible
dishwashers, clothes washers, and refrigerators (discussed below)) use
Form 8909 to claim the energy efficient appliance credit. The credit is
part of the general business credit reported on Form 3800, General
Business Credit.
Note. If you are a taxpayer that is not a partnership, S corporation,
cooperative, estate, or trust, and your only source of this credit is from a
pass-through entity, you are not required to complete or file this form.
Instead, report this credit directly on line 1q of Form 3800. See the
Instructions for Form 3800.

clothes washer manufactured in calendar year 2009, which meets or
exceeds a 2.0 modified energy factor and does not exceeds a 6.0 water
consumption factor.

clothes washer with a clothes container compartment located on the top
of the machine and which operates on a vertical axis.
Modified energy factor. The modified energy factor is the modified
energy factor established by the Department of Energy for compliance
with the Federal energy conservation standard.
Water consumption factor. The water consumption factor is total
weighted per-cycle water consumption divided by the cubic foot (or liter)
capacity of the clothes washer.

Amount of Credit

Refrigerators

The credit is equal to the sum of the credit amounts figured separately
for each type of qualified energy efficient appliance that you produced
during the calendar year ending with or within your tax year.
The credit amount determined for any type of qualified energy
efficient appliance is the applicable amount shown on Form 8909 for
each appliance, multiplied by the eligible production for the appliance.
The eligible production in a calendar year is the excess of:
● The number of appliances of the same type manufactured by the
taxpayer in the United States during the calendar year, over
● The average number of appliances of the same type manufactured by
the taxpayer (or any predecessor) in the United States during the 2 prior
calendar years.
For 2009, the maximum overall credit for all qualified appliances is the
smaller of 2 percent of your average annual gross receipts for the 3 prior
tax years or $75,000,000 reduced by the amount of the energy efficient
appliance credit you (or any predecessor) were allowed for 2008. The
$75,000,000 limit does not apply to Type C clothes washers and Type C
refrigerators.

An eligible refrigerator is a residential model automatic defrost
refrigerator-freezer that has an internal volume of at least 16.5 cubic
feet.
Three types of energy saving refrigerators are eligible for the energy
efficient appliance credit. The amount of the credit is based on the
percentage of energy savings.

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise
noted.

Specific Instructions
Line 20
Enter 2 percent of your average annual gross receipts for the 3 prior tax
years. Gross receipts are reduced by returns and allowances. If an entity
was not in existence for the entire 3-year period, the average annual
gross receipts are based on the period during which the entity was in
existence. Gross receipts for any tax year of less than 12 months are
annualized by multiplying the gross receipts for the short period by 12
and dividing the result by the number of months in the short period. Any
reference to an entity includes its predecessor(s).
