Short Statement: Form 8830 was not issued for 2006-2015 because it did not apply for tax years beginning in those years due to the continued high price of crude oil; however it will apply again for tax years beginning in 2016. Since oil prices remain low, it's most likely that the credit will apply for tax years beginning in 2017. The changes were made to reflect Notice 2016-44. This will increase the number of responses by 1,550 and annual burden by 11,067 hours.
