Under 26 U.S.C. 5041(c), certain small
wine producers are eligible for a tax credit which may be taken to
reduce the Federal excise tax they pay on wines removed from their
premises. In addition, small producers can transfer their tax
credit to bonded warehouses, which store their wine and ship it on
their instructions. Under TTB regulations, the transferee uses
information provided by the small producer to take the appropriate
credit on behalf of the small producer, and the producer will use
the information to monitor its own tax payments to ensure it does
not exceed the authorized annual credit. The information is used by
taxpayers in preparing their returns and by TTB to verify tax
computation.
