CAUTION

What’s New
Expiration of credits. The credits for alcohol fuel
mixtures, biodiesel mixtures, renewable diesel mixtures,
alternative fuels (except liquefied hydrogen), and
alternative fuel mixtures (except liquefied hydrogen)
expire December 31, 2011.
The IRS has created a page on IRS.gov for
information about Form 4136 and its instructions, at
www.irs.gov/form4136. Information about any future
developments affecting Form 4136 (such as legislation
enacted after we release it) will be posted on that page.

Reminders
Aviation fuel used outside the propulsion system of
an aircraft. Use line 2b to make a claim for aviation
gasoline used outside the propulsion system of an
aircraft. Depending on the tax rate of the kerosene, use
lines 4a, 4e, or 4f to make a claim for kerosene used
outside the propulsion system of an aircraft. For more
information, see Line 2. Nontaxable Use of Aviation
Gasoline and Line 4. Nontaxable Use of Undyed
Kerosene (Other Than Kerosene Used in Aviation).

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 4136 to claim a credit for certain nontaxable
uses (or sales) of fuel during your income tax year. Also
use Form 4136 if you are claiming the alternative fuel
credit, a blender claiming a credit for a diesel-water fuel
emulsion, or a producer claiming a credit for an alcohol
fuel mixture, a biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture, or
an alternative fuel mixture.
Instead of waiting to claim an annual credit on Form
4136, you may be able to file:
• Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, to claim
a periodic refund; or
• Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, to
claim a credit against your tax liability.
