You must include in gross income (income tax return) any
overpayment from line 4 of Form 720X if you took a deduction on
the income tax return that included the amount of the taxes and
that deduction reduced the income tax liability. See Pub. 510,
Excise Taxes, for more information.

Section 6426 credits. You must use line 2 to report any adjustment to
section 6426 credits, if (a) you are reporting a change to certain taxable fuel
liability (section 4081 liability in the case of mixtures or section 4041 liability
in the case of alternative fuel) on line 1, or (b) you were unable to claim the
credits against the section 4041 or 4081 liability on a prior Form 720 because
you were not registered. Section 6426 credits include the alcohol fuel mixture
credit (for mixtures produced, and sold, used, or removed, on or before
December 31, 2011), biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit, alternative
fuel credit, and alternative fuel mixture credit. Use a separate line for each
adjustment. Enter the CRN from the table below in column 2(b). You must

Line 3a

Specific Instructions

Collectors using the alternative method for deposits must adjust their
separate accounts for any credits or refunds made to customers of the
collector. Form 720X cannot be used for this purpose. For more information,
see Alternative method in the Instructions for Form 720.

Line 1
Report each adjustment separately on line 1. You can use line 6 for your
explanation or you can attach additional sheets with your name and EIN as
needed.
Column (a). Enter the quarter ending date of the Form 720 you are
amending. If you are amending more than one quarter, make sure each
quarter is clearly identified. Enter the date in the MMDDYYYY format. For
example, if you are adjusting the first quarter return for 2013, enter
“03312013.”
Column (d). Enter the tax amount for the IRS No. entered in column (b) as
originally reported on Form 720 or as later adjusted by you or the IRS.
Column (e). Enter the adjusted tax liability that should have been reported
for the IRS No. in column (b).
Column (f). If column (e) is greater than column (d), subtract column (d) from
column (e). This is an increase. If column (d) is greater than column (e),
subtract column (e) from column (d). This is a decrease. Show the decrease
in parentheses.

Line 2
Section 4051(d) tire credit. You must use line 2 to report any adjustment to
the section 4051(d) tire credit for a prior quarter. For example, if you report
an additional taxable vehicle on line 1 for IRS No. 33, the applicable tire
credit is reported on line 2. Enter CRN 366 in column 2(b). See the
Instructions for Form 720 for more information on the tire credit.

Line 5
If you want your overpayment refunded to you, check the box for line 5a.
If you want your overpayment applied to your next Form 720, check the
box for line 5b and enter the quarter ending date of your next Form 720. You
can file Form 720X separately or you can attach it to your next Form 720.
Caution. If you checked the box on line 5b, be sure to include the
overpayment amount on lines 6 and 7 on your next Form 720. See Form 720
for details. If you owe other federal tax, interest, or penalty, the overpayment
will first be applied to the unpaid amounts.

Line 6
You can use line 6 for your explanation or you can attach additional sheets
with your name and EIN as needed.
Adjustments on line 1. For each adjustment, you must include a detailed
description of the adjustment and the computation of the amount.
Adjustments on line 2. Any section 6426 credits must first be applied
against your section 4041 or 4081 liability. To make an adjustment, you must
follow the instructions for lines 12, 13, and 14 in the Instructions for Form
720 (Rev. January 2011). For each adjustment you must attach a detailed
explanation of the adjustment, including your registration number, and the
computation of the amount. Your computation must include the number of
gallons (or gasoline gallon equivalents for compressed gas) and credit rate
