Purpose of Form
Use Form 4136 to claim a credit for certain nontaxable uses (or sales) of fuel during your income tax year. Also use Form 4136 if you are claiming the alternative fuel credit, a blender claiming a credit for a diesel-water fuel emulsion, or a producer claiming a credit for an alcohol fuel mixture, a biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture, or an alternative fuel mixture. Instead of waiting to claim an annual credit on Form 4136, you may be able to file: · Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, to claim a periodic refund; or · Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, to claim a credit against your taxable fuel liability.

What's New

However, Congress was expected to take additional legislative action before that date. To find out if additional legislation was enacted, monitor the news media or go to www.irs.gov, click on More Forms and Publications, and then click on What's Hot in forms and publications. Additional legislation may affect the credit that can be claimed by certain fiscal year filers.
