Instructions for Form 4136  
Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels  
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code  
unless otherwise noted.  
Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) specification for  
aviation turbine fuel.  
Kerosene is no longer treated as diesel fuel for  
purposes of the renewable diesel mixture credit.  
Future Developments  
For the latest information about developments related to  
Form 4136 and its instructions, such as legislation  
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Use Form 4136 to claim the following.  
The biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit.  
The alternative fuel credit.  
What’s New  
Removal of liquefied hydrogen from alternative fuel  
credits. The section 6426(d) definition of alternative fuels  
is revised to remove liquefied hydrogen from the list of  
alternative fuel credits for fuel sold or used after 2022.  
A credit for certain nontaxable uses (or sales) of fuel  
during your income tax year.  
A credit for blending a diesel-water fuel emulsion.  
A credit for exporting dyed fuels or gasoline  
blendstocks.  
Notice 2024-06 sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) guid-  
ance. The Treasury Department and the IRS developed  
the guidance, in consultation with the Environmental  
Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies, to provide  
safe harbors for using the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard  
(RFS) program to calculate both the emissions reduction  
percentage and RFS guidance to certify related  
Substainable aviation fuel (SAF) credit.  
Attach Form 4136 to your tax return.  
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  
sustainability requirements under section 40B.  
Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, to claim  
The notice also explains that the existing Greenhouse  
gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in  
Transportation (GREET) model of the Argonne National  
Laboratory (ANL-GREET model) is a methodology that  
doesn’t satisfy the requirements to calculate the  
emissions reduction percentage under section 40B(e)(2).  
To date, no GREET-based model has been identified as  
satisfying the applicable requirements. The Department of  
Energy is collaborating with other federal agencies to  
develop the GREET model to calculate the emissions  
reduction percentage and anticipate that it will be  
available in early 2024.  
a credit against your excise tax liability.  
You can’t claim any amounts on Form 4136 that  
you claimed on Form 8849, Form 8864, or Form  
!
CAUTION  
720, Schedule C. If you report a tax liability on  
Form 720, you may be required to offset your tax liability  
with any credits you claim before claiming a credit on Form  
4136, or Form 8864, or a refund on Form 8849.  
Form 4136 can’t be used by ultimate vendors to make  
gasoline claims.  
Partnerships. Partnerships (other than electing large  
partnerships) can’t file this form. Instead, they must  
include a statement on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065)  
showing the allocation to each partner specifying the  
number of gallons of each fuel used during the tax year,  
the applicable credit per gallon, the nontaxable use or  
sale, and any additional information required to be  
submitted.  
An SAF model certificate has been created to support  
an SAF claim and it’s at the end of the notice.  
See IRS guidance on SAF credit, for more information.  
Reminders  
Sustainable aviation fuel credit. The Inflation  
Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) provides the section 40B  
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credit for sales or uses  
after 2022, and the credit is added as line 10d.

Schedule C; Schedule 3 (Form 8849); Form 4136; or  
Form 8864. See Notice 2005-4 and item 4 below for more  
information. Only one credit may be taken for each  
amount of biodiesel or renewable diesel. If you claimed (or  
will claim) an amount of biodiesel or renewable diesel on  
Form 720, Form 8849, or Form 8864 for a credit or  
payment, then you can't make a claim on Form 4136 for  
that same amount of biodiesel or renewable diesel.  
Claimant. The person that produced and sold or used a  
qualified mixture (a mixture of SAF and kerosene) is the  
only person eligible to make this claim. The credit is based  
on the gallons of SAF in the qualified mixture. Any SAF  
mixture credit must first be claimed on Schedule C to  
reduce your taxable fuel liability reported on Form 720.  
Any excess credit must be claimed on Form 720,  
Schedule C; Schedule 3 (Form 8849); Form 4136; or  
Form 8864. See item 4 below for more information.

must be met only if the credit exceeds the amount of  
taxable fuel liability reported. Requirements 3 and 4 must  
be met for all claims.  
How to claim the credit. Only one credit may be taken  
for each amount of SAF. If a person claimed (or will claim)  
an amount of SAF on Form 720, Form 8849, or Form 8864  
for a credit or payment, then a claim can't be made on  
Form 4136 for that same amount of SAF. The qualified  
mixture must be used (or sold, in the ordinary course of a  
trade or business, for use) in an aircraft.  
Instructions for Form 4136 (2023)

produced outside of the United States or if the transfer of  
such mixture to the fuel tank of an aircraft occurs outside  
of the United States. Requirements 1 and 2 must be met  
only if the credit exceeds the amount of taxable fuel  
liability reported. Requirements 3 and 4 must be met for all  
claims.
