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.

Instead of waiting to claim an annual credit on Form
4136, you may be able to file:

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.
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.

Line 10d. Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mixtures
Schedule C; Schedule 3 (Form 8849); Form 4136; or
Form 8864. See Notice 2005-4 and item 4 below for more

Claimant. The person that produced and sold or used a
qualified mixture (a mixture of SAF and kerosene) is the

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.

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.
