information.
Other Rules
Production attributable to the taxpayer. If a qualified
marginal well has more than one owner of operating
interests in the well and the crude oil or natural gas
production exceeds the limitation under section 45I(c)(2),
qualifying crude oil production or qualifying natural gas
production attributable to the taxpayer is determined on
the basis of the ratio of the taxpayer's revenue interest in
the production to the aggregate of the revenue interests of
all operating interest owners in the production.
Maximum production. Crude oil or natural gas
produced during any tax year from any well won't be
treated as qualified crude oil production or qualified
natural gas production to the extent production from the
well during the tax year exceeds 1,095 barrels or
barrel-of-oil equivalents (as defined in section 45K(d)(5)).
For short tax years, the maximum qualified production
is proportionately reduced by the ratio of the number of
days in the short tax year to 365 days.
If a well isn't capable of production during each day of a
tax year, the maximum qualified production applicable to
the well is proportionately reduced by the ratio of the
number of days of production to the total number of days
in the tax year.
Partnerships and S corporations must file this form to
claim the credit. All other taxpayers aren’t required to
complete or file this form if the only source of the credit is
a partnership or S corporation. Instead, they can report
the credit directly on Form 3800, General Business Credit.
For tax years beginning in 2017, use the 2017 Form 3800,
Part III, line 1zz.
Amount of Credit
The credit is generally $3 per barrel of qualified crude oil
production and $0.50 per 1,000 cubic feet of qualified
natural gas production. The $3 and $0.50 amounts are
subject to a statutory reduction and must be adjusted by
the inflation adjustment factor (IAF) for the calendar year.
The reduction and IAF for each calendar year will be
provided in the Internal Revenue Bulletin (IRB). For tax
years beginning in 2017, the credit amount is $0.51 per
thousand cubic feet of qualified natural gas production.
See Notice 2018-52, available in IRB-2018-22.
An owner of a marginal well may claim the credit any
time within 3 years from the due date (excluding
extensions) of its return on either its original or an
amended return. If you filed your 2017 return on or before
October 2, 2018, and either didn't claim the credit or
claimed the credit in an amount that differs from the
amount determined using the credit amount stated in
Notice 2018-52, you may file an amended return using the
applicable credit amount stated in that notice.
Operating interest required. The credit may be claimed
only on production which is attributable to the holder of an
operating interest.
Production from nonconventional sources excluded.
For production from a qualified marginal well which is
eligible for the section 45K nonconventional source fuel
credit for the tax year, no credit is allowable unless an
