Line 1. Nontaxable Use of Gasoline

Reminders
The ultimate purchaser of aviation gasoline or kerosene used
in foreign trade is eligible to make a claim on line 2d or 5e for the

Claim Requirements
The following requirements must be met.
1. The amount claimed on Schedule 1 must be at least $750.
This amount may be met by:

b. Aggregating amounts from any quarters of the claimant’s
income tax year for which no other claim has been made.
2. The claim must be filed during the first quarter following the
last quarter included in the claim. For example, a claim for the
