5. Why are there blank spaces on this form? Some lines are blank for those occasions when
brewers may need to make a special entry. Before using any blank lines on this form, please
consult with a TTB specialist at the National Revenue Center at 1-513-684-2238 or toll free at
1-877-882-3277 or via email at [email protected].
6. Who may sign this form? Only representatives of the brewery who have signing authority
on file with TTB may sign this form.
7. How do I calculate the tax I owe? Take the amount of barrels reported on line 14 and 15 of
this report and multiply the figure by the appropriate tax rate of $7.00 or $18 per barrel (see
Subpart K of 27 CFR part 25 for information on tax rates). You must report this amount on a
separate form (TTB F 5000.24) or through Pay.gov.
8. What if I plan to close my brewery? If you will be discontinuing business permanently, you
must submit an amended Brewer’s Notice (TTB F 5130.10), select “Discontinuance of
business” under item 14 on that form, and enter the date of discontinuance. You also must
submit a final report using this form (or TTB F 5130.9) in the month that you cease operations
that shows no beer or cereal beverage on hand and state “Final Report” in Part 3 - Remarks
(see 27 CFR 25.85).
Part 1 – Beer Summary Instructions
9. How must I report beer on this form? You must report beer in barrels. One barrel is 31
gallons. You also must round your entries to the nearest second decimal place.
10. What may I report as beer received in bond on line 5? Line 5 is for beer that is not taxpaid
or tax determined and transferred from other breweries (and pilot breweries) that are under the
same ownership or imported beer transferred to the brewery from customs custody.
11. What may I report as beer returned to the brewery on lines 7 and 8? Lines 7 and 8 are for
beer, produced in the United States, on which you or another brewer under the same
ownership had paid or determined the tax, but has been returned and added back into your
inventory as nontaxpaid beer. For information on how to obtain relief of tax for returned beer,
see Subpart M of 27 CFR part 25.
12. What is the difference between beer removed tax determined for consumption or sale in
a tavern (line 15) and beer consumed on premises (line 21)? Beer consumed in a tavern
located on brewery premises reported on line 15 is all beer transferred from the brewery to the
tavern as taxpaid or tax determined (see 27 CFR 25.25(c)(4)). Beer consumed on brewery
premises reported on line 21 (consumed anywhere on the premises except in the tavern) is
beer that has not been removed and is not subject to tax.
13. How do I report beer destroyed at the brewery on line 28? Brewers may report on line 28
the destruction of beer that was never taxpaid or tax determined and may do so without prior
approval (see 27 CFR 25.221). Brewers operating a tavern on brewery premises may destroy
beer that is taxpaid or tax determined and never removed from brewery premises without prior
approval, but may not report it anywhere on this form. (In some cases, TTB may require a
brewer operating a tavern to notify TTB prior to destruction (see 27 CFR 25.225(b)(2)).
Brewers destroying taxpaid or tax determined beer may report it on TTB F 5620.8 for refund or
credit of tax (see 27 CFR 25.283(c)).

14. What is the difference between a loss (line 30) and a shortage (line 31)? Losses are a
result of a known event, such as theft or damage. Shortages are unexpectedly disclosed by
taking inventory and may result in a tax liability. You must explain all losses and shortages in
Part 3 - Remarks, or in a separate statement, signed by you under penalty of perjury (see
Industry Circular 2007–1 for more information).
15. How do I determine the total amount of beer on hand at the end of this period for line
33? Total all columns in lines 14 through 32 and then subtract the values from the
corresponding figures reported in the columns on line 13. Place the results in the appropriate
columns on line 33. Then add the figures in each column on line 33 and enter it in column (g).
The totals entered on line 33 should agree with the totals from the physical inventory of the
brewery for this period. These totals also are what you will enter on line 1 of your next report.
16. How do I determine the total amount of beer to report on line 34? To determine the
amount of total beer, add the totals in columns (b) through (f) on lines 14 through 33 and place
the totals in the appropriate columns in line 34. Then add the totals in columns (b) through (f)
on line 34 and enter it in column (g). The figures on line 34 should match what you entered on
line 13 of this report.
17. I adjusted a previous period tax return. How do I report adjustments on this report? If
you adjusted an Excise Tax Return (TTB F 5000.24) and the adjustment affects the quantity of
beer you previously reported, then you must record an adjustment on this report to correct the
error by following these instructions:
 Make these adjustments on lines 35 (additions) and 36 (removals), in the plus or minus columns
as appropriate;
 Do not include these adjustments in the totals on lines 13 or 34; and
 Explain your adjusting entries in Part 3 - Remarks. You may attach additional pages if
necessary.
Part 2- Cereal Beverage Summary Instructions
18. How do I report cereal beverage? Cereal beverage is produced wholly or in part from malt or
substitute for malt, fermented or unfermented, and has less than 0.5% alcohol by volume when
ready for consumption (see 27 CFR 25.11). For the cereal beverage you produce, record in
whole barrels only.
