Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the information on Form 637 General Questionnaire and related Activity Letter Questionnaires to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We need it to figure and collect the right amount of tax. Subtitle D of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), Miscellaneous Excise Taxes, imposes certain excise taxes.



IRC Section 4101 requires certain persons to register for excise taxes on fuel, as imposed by IRC Sections 4041 and 4081. Sections 4101, 4222, 4662, and 4682 allow certain other manufacturers, sellers, or purchasers to register to be eligible for credits or to be exempt from the excise tax on article subject to excise tax. If your business is required to register under IRC Section 4101 or if your business elects to register for credits and/or exemption, your business is required to provide the information requested on this form. Failure to provide this information may subject persons required to register to penalties and may delay or prevent the processing of a voluntary registration for credits or exemption; providing false information may subject your business to penalties. IRC Section 6109 requires your business to provide the requested identification numbers.



Your business is not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form, or its instructions must be retained if their contents may become material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law.



Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential, as required by IRC Section 6103. However, IRC Section 6103 allows or requires the IRS to disclose or give such information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation; to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions to administer their tax laws; and to other countries under a tax treaty. We may also disclose this information to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.



The time needed to complete and file Form 637 Questionnaires will vary depending on individual circumstances.



In addition to the Form 637 General Questionnaire, please answer the following questions specific to this activity. (Attach additional sheets, if needed.)
