Abstract: Form 8864 is used to figure biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels credit and to claim the credit for the tax year in which the sale or use occurs. This credit consists of the biodiesel credit, renewable diesel credit, biodiesel mixture credit, renewable diesel mixture credit, and small agri-biodiesel producer credit. IRC section 40A provides a credit for biodiesel or qualified biodiesel mixtures. IRC section 38(b)(17) allows a nonrefundable income tax credit for businesses that sell or use biodiesel. The biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels credit is scheduled expired for fuel sold or used in calendar years 2018 through 2022. Don't claim this credit for fuel sold or used after 2022 on Form 8864 unless the credit is extended.
