Instructions for Form 7207
Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit
(Rev. January 2024)
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
unless otherwise noted.
File a separate Form 7207 for each facility operated to
produce and sell eligible components. This also applies to
applicable entities, partnerships, S corporations, estates,
and trusts that produce eligible components. Partners, S
corporation shareholders, and beneficiaries of estates and
trusts are generally not required to file Form 7207 if their
only source for the credit is the pass-through entity.
Instead, they can report this credit directly on Form 3800,
General Business Credits. If the partner, S corporation
shareholder, or beneficiary is, itself, a pass-through entity,

Applicable Entities
For tax years beginning after 2022, applicable entities as
defined under section 6417(d)(1)(A) that generally don't
benefit from income tax credits can elect to treat the
advanced manufacturing production credit as a payment
of income tax. Resulting overpayments may result in
refunds.
Applicable entities making the elective payment
election for advanced manufacturing production credit
must file the following:
Form 7207;
•
•
•
Form 3800; and
Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax
Return, or other applicable income tax return.
For a discussion of what is an applicable entity, see

Pre-filing registration. The IRS has established a
pre-filing registration process that must be completed prior
to electing payment or transfer of the credit for the
production and sale of eligible components at a facility.
Parts III and IV. These new parts are used to report
information for each produced vessel sold and information
for each applicable critical element produced and sold.
Electing Taxpayers
If you aren’t an applicable entity, you can elect to treat
the credit as a payment of taxes on your return. Section
6417(d)(1)(D) allows electing taxpayers, including
partnerships and S corporations, to treat the advanced
manufacturing production credit as a payment of taxes.
For a discussion of who is considered an electing
taxpayer, see the last 3 paragraphs under Applicable

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Form 7207 is used to claim the advanced manufacturing
production credit under section 45X for eligible
components produced by the taxpayer within the United
States (including U.S. territories) and sold during the tax
year in the taxpayer’s trade or business to unrelated
persons.
If you make a section 6417(d)(1)(D) election, your
election generally applies for 2023 and the 4 succeeding

integrated, incorporated, or assembled into another
eligible component that is sold to an unrelated person.
For purposes of the advanced manufacturing
production credit, section 45X(d)(1) provides that persons

components to the seafloor using fixed platforms such as
offshore wind monopiles, jackets, or gravity-based
foundations, or floating platforms and associated mooring
systems.
Column (d) for lines 2b–2f. Aggregate capacity is
determined by multiplying the number of eligible
components produced and sold during the tax year by the
rated capacity of each wind turbine for which the

For example, if you produced and sold 3 blades for a
6-million-watt wind turbine and 3 blades were sold for a
10-million-watt wind turbine, the aggregate capacity is 48
million ((3 x 6 million) plus (3 x 10 million)). Enter

housing.
Column (d) for lines 3a–3f. The inverter component
aggregate capacity is determined by multiplying the
number of eligible components sold by the capacity of
each component (expressed on a per alternating current
watt basis).
Line 2d. Tower is a tubular or lattice structure which
•
supports the nacelle and rotor of a wind turbine.
Lines 2e and 2f. Offshore wind foundation is the
