a credit against your income tax for certain nontaxable uses (or  
sales) of fuel during the income tax year. Also, use Form 4136 if  
you are a producer claiming a credit for alcohol fuel mixtures or  
biodiesel mixtures. However, you can use Form 8849, Claim for  
Refund of Excise Taxes, to claim a periodic refund instead of  
waiting to claim an annual credit on Form 4136.  
Use Form 8849, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, to claim a  
refund of excise taxes other than those resulting from  
adjustments to your reported liabilities. See Pub. 510, Excise  
Taxes, for the appropriate forms to use to claim excise tax  
refunds.  
Corporations (other than S corporations) can use Form 1139,  
Corporation Application for Tentative Refund, to apply for a  
“quick refund” of taxes from an overpayment of tax due to a  
claim of right adjustment under section 1341(b)(1); or the  
carryback of any NOL, the carryback of a net capital loss, or the  
carryback of an unused general business credit.  
Separate Form Required  
Generally, you must file a separate Form 843 for each tax period  
or fee year or type of tax or fee. There are exceptions for certain  
claims. See the instructions for line 5.  
Generally, you must file a claim for a credit or refund within 3  
years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from  
the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. If you do not file a  
claim within this period, you may no longer be entitled to a credit  
or refund. See Pub. 556, Examination of Returns, Appeal Rights,  
and Claims for Refund, for more information. But see

unreasonable error or delay in performing a managerial or  
ministerial act (defined next). The taxpayer cannot have caused  
any significant aspect of the error or delay. In addition, the  
interest can be abated only if it relates to taxes for which a notice  
of deficiency is required. This includes income taxes,  
generation-skipping transfer taxes, estate and gift taxes, and  
certain excise taxes. Interest related to employment taxes or  
other excise taxes cannot be abated. See Pub. 556 for more  
information.  
A paid tax return preparer who files Form 843 for you must sign  
the form and fill in the identifying information at the bottom of the  
form. The tax preparer must give you a copy of the completed  
Form 843 for your records. Someone who prepares your Form  
843 but does not charge you should not sign it.

law) is not a ministerial act. See Regulations section 301.6404-2  
for more information.

failure to provide the IRS with adequate or accurate information.

Requesting Net Interest Rate of Zero on  
Overlapping Tax Underpayments and  
Overpayments  
If you have paid or are liable for interest on a tax underpayment  
and have received or are due interest on a tax overpayment for  
the same period of time, you can request that the IRS compute  
the interest using the net interest rate of zero.  
How To Request a Net Interest Rate of Zero  
You can request a net interest rate of zero by writing on top of  
Form 843 “Request for Net Interest Rate of Zero under Rev.  
Proc. 2000-26.” You must provide documentation to substantiate  
that you are the taxpayer entitled to receive the interest due on  
the overpayment.  
You are not required to provide the information requested on  
a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the  
form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records  
relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as  
their contents may become material in the administration of any  
Internal Revenue law. Generally, tax returns and return
