720-CS, and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after
Send the forms in a flat mailing (not folded). Don't staple, tear, or
tape any of these forms. If you're sending a large number of
forms in conveniently sized packages, write your name and EIN
on each package and number the packages consecutively.
Postal regulations require forms and packages to be sent by
First-Class Mail.
Reminders
These instructions are for paper filers. Electronic filing is
required for each return reporting 25 or more transactions a
month. However, all taxpayers are encouraged to electronically
file. File Form 720-CS electronically through the Excise
Summary Terminal Activity Reporting System (ExSTARS). For
more information on e-file and ExSTARS, visit the IRS website at
IRS.gov/Excise. Also, see Pub. 3536, Motor Fuel Excise Tax EDI
Guide.
How To Complete Form 720-CS
Below are suggestions that will allow the IRS to process the
submitted forms in the most economical manner.
1. If you need additional forms or schedules, you may use
photocopies.
Photographs of Missing Children
2. Although handwritten forms are acceptable, the IRS
prefers that you type or machine print data entries using 10-
pitch (pica) or 12-pitch (elite) black type. Use block print, not
script characters. Insert data in the middle of the blocks not
touching other printing and guidelines, and take other measures
to guarantee a dark black, clear, sharp image.
3. Don’t enter 0 (zero) or “None” in data entry boxes when
no entry is required. Leave the boxes blank unless the
instructions specifically require that you enter a 0 (zero).
The IRS is a proud partner with the National Center for Missing
& Exploited Children® (NCMEC). Photographs of missing
children selected by the Center may appear in instructions on
pages that would otherwise be blank. You can help bring these
children home by looking at the photographs and contacting
1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or www.missingkids.com/
home if you recognize a child.
General Instructions
Substitute Form 720-CS
Purpose of Form
If you want to prepare and use a substitute Form 720-CS, see
Pub. 1167, General Rules and Specifications for Substitute
Forms and Schedules. If your substitute Form 720-CS is
approved, the form approval number must be printed in the
lower left margin of each substitute form you file with the IRS.
Use Form 720-CS if you're a bulk transport carrier to report
monthly receipts and disbursements of all liquid products at a
storage location designated by a facility control number (FCN).
A liquid product is any liquid that is transported in or out of
storage at a terminal or any other facility. See Table 2.
Extension of Time To File
First time request for a 30-day extension will be granted, if
received in writing on or before the due date of the report.
Additional extensions may be considered if received prior to the
due date of the return. Send your request to:
Who Must File
Form 720-CS is required to be filed by bulk transport carriers
(barges, ships, and pipelines) who receive or deliver reportable
liquid products in or out of storage at a terminal, or any other
location designated by an FCN.
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Excise Unit
Pipelines only file receipt or delivery transactions at an
approved terminal.
Stop 5701G
Cincinnati, OH 45999
When To File
Form 720-CS must be filed monthly. The report is due the last
day of the month following the month in which the transaction
occurs.
Requests also may be faxed to 859-669-5788.
Corrected Returns
If you filed a return with the IRS and later discover you made an
error, you must correct it as soon as possible. If you filed your
return electronically, see Pub. 3536 for instructions.
If any due date for filing a return falls on a Saturday, Sunday,
or legal holiday, you may file the return on the next business day.
Send your information return to the IRS using the U.S. Postal
Service or a designated private delivery service to meet the
“timely mailing as timely filing/paying” rule. See Private Delivery
Services, later.
When making a correction to a paper filed return, you must
send in the first page of Form 720-CS and the schedule(s) that
needs to be corrected with the “Void” box checked. Identify the
transaction you're correcting, either by highlighting or attaching
an explanation. Then, complete another first page of Form
720-CS along with the corrected schedule(s) with the
Where To File
Send Form 720-CS to:
Jul 26, 2017
Cat. No. 54364R
“Corrected” box checked. On the corrected schedule(s), only
enter the information for the transaction you're correcting.
Form 637 Registration Number
Enter the assigned IRS number. Regulations section
48.4101-1(c)(1) require pipeline operators, position holders,
terminal operators, and vessel operators to be registered by the
IRS. If you don't have a registration number, use Form 637,
Application for Registration (For Certain Excise Tax Activities).
Form 637 has information on how to apply for a registration
number.
Recordkeeping
Keep copies of information returns you have filed with the IRS or
the data to reconstruct them for at least 3 years from the date of
the return. Your records must be available at all times for
inspection by the IRS.
Penalty
Carrier and Consignor Names and EINs
Failure to file correct information returns by the due date.
If you fail to file a correct information return by the due date and
you cannot show reasonable cause, you may be subject to a
penalty. The penalty applies if you fail to file timely, you fail to
include all information required to be shown on a return, or you
include incorrect information on a return. The penalty also
applies if you report an incorrect employer identification number
(EIN) or fail to report an EIN where required.
EINs are used to associate and verify transactions you report to
the IRS. Therefore, it's important that you furnish correct names
and EINs for carriers and consignors on the forms sent to the
IRS.
You may use Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification
Number and Certification, or your own form, to request an EIN
from a carrier or a consignor. You may be subject to a penalty for
an incorrect or missing EIN on an information return. See
Penalty, earlier. You're required to maintain the confidentiality of
information obtained on a Form W-9 relating to the taxpayer's
identity and you may use such information only to comply with
filing these information returns.
Private Delivery Services
You can use certain private delivery services (PDS) designated
by the IRS to meet the “timely mailing as timely filing/paying” rule
list of designated services.
Note. Foreign persons may use the appropriate Form W-8. See
the Instructions for the Requester of Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI,
W-8EXP, and W-8IMY.
The PDS can tell you how to get written proof of the mailing
date. For the IRS mailing address to use if you’re using a PDS,
