Reminders
Sections 4375 and 4376 patient-centered outcomes re-
search fee increase. The fee for policy and plan years
ending on or after October 1, 2022, but before October 1,
2023, is increased to the applicable rate of $3.00 multiplied
by the average number of lives covered under the policy or
plan. The fee for policy and plan years ending on or after
October 1, 2021, but before October 1, 2022, remains at the
applicable rate of $2.79, multiplied by the average number of
lives covered under the policy or plan. See patient-centered
outcomes research (PCOR) fee (IRS No. 133), later, and
Butane mixture doesn’t qualify for a credit. A mixture of
butane (or other gasoline blendstock) and gasoline is a
mixture of two taxable fuels. Therefore, it isn’t an alternative
fuel mixture and doesn’t qualify for the section 6426
alternative fuel mixture credit. See section 6426(e)(2), and
Rev. Rul. 2018-02 at IRS.gov/IRB/
Transportation of persons by air (IRS No. 26). The
section 4261 tax on the amount paid for each domestic
segment of taxable air transportation is adjusted for inflation
and increased to $4.80.
Use of international air travel facilities (IRS No. 27). The
section 4261 tax on the amount paid for international flights is
adjusted for inflation and increased to $21.10 per person for
flights that begin or end in the United States. The tax is
adjusted for inflation and increased to $10.60 per person for
domestic segments that begin or end in Alaska or Hawaii
(applies only to departures).
Reducing your excise tax liability. For federal income tax
purposes, reduce your expense for the section 4081 excise
tax, whether taken as a deduction or as a component of cost
of goods sold, by the amount of excise tax credits allowable
under sections 6426(c), (e), and (k) (biodiesel mixture,
alternative fuel mixture, and SAF, respectively). Similarly,
reduce your expense for the section 4041 excise tax, whether
taken as a deduction or as a component of cost of goods
sold, by the amount of excise tax credit allowable under
section 6426(d) (alternative fuel credit).
Exported gasoline blendstocks. Claims for exported
gasoline blendstocks taxed at $.001 per gallon are made on
Schedule C, line 14b. Continue to use line 1b to make claims
for exported gasoline blendstocks taxed at $.184 per gallon.
Electronic filing. You can electronically file Form 720
through any electronic return originator (ERO), transmitter,
and/or intermediate service provider (ISP) participating in the
IRS e-file program for excise taxes. For more information on
Arrow shafts (IRS No. 106). The section 4161 tax on arrow
shafts is adjusted for inflation and increased to $.59 per
arrow shaft.

troleum products. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the
Act) reinstates and increases the section 4611 Hazardous
Substance Superfund financing rate (petroleum Superfund
tax rate) on domestic crude oil (IRS No. 53) and imported
petroleum products (IRS No. 16), effective January 1, 2023
(the taxes previously expired on December 31,1995). The

Federal tax deposits made by electronic funds transfer.
Generally, you must use electronic funds transfer to make
federal tax deposits, such as deposits of employment tax,
excise tax (for exceptions, see Payment of Taxes, later), and
corporate income tax. Generally, electronic funds transfers
are made using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
(EFTPS). If you don't want to use EFTPS, you can arrange for
your tax professional, financial institution, payroll service, or
other trusted third party to make deposits on your behalf.
EFTPS is a free service provided by the Department of the
Treasury.

Disregarded entities and qualified subchapter S subsid-
iaries. Qualified subchapter S subsidiaries (QSubs) and
eligible single-owner disregarded entities are treated as
separate entities for excise tax and reporting purposes.
QSubs and eligible single-owner disregarded entities must
pay and report excise taxes (other than IRS Nos. 31, 51, and
117), register for most excise tax activities, and claim any
refunds, credits, and payments under their EINs. These
actions can't take place under the owner's taxpayer
identification number (TIN). Some QSubs and disregarded
entities may already have an EIN. However, if you are unsure,
please call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line at
800-829-4933.
Generally, QSubs and eligible single-owner disregarded
entities will continue to be treated as disregarded entities for
other federal tax purposes (other than employment taxes).
Thus, taxpayers filing Form 4136, with Form 1040, U.S.
Individual Income Tax Return, or 1040-SR, U.S Tax Return for
Seniors, can use the owner's TIN. For more information, see

Domestic segment tax. For calendar year 2023, the tax on
the amount paid for each domestic segment of taxable
transportation is $4.80.
Example. In January 2023, Frank Jones pays $267.60 to
a commercial airline for a flight in January from Washington
to Chicago with a stopover in Cleveland. The flight has two
segments. The price includes the $240 fare and $27.60
excise tax [($240 × 7.5%) + (2 × $4.80)] for which Frank is
liable. The airline collects the tax from Frank and submits it to
the government.

Charter flights. If an aircraft is chartered, and the flight
isn't one where the tax on fuel used in a fractional ownership
program aircraft is imposed, the domestic segment tax for
each segment of taxable transportation is figured by
multiplying the tax by the number of passengers transported
on the aircraft.
Fuel Taxes
First taxpayer's report. If you are reporting gallons of
taxable fuel that may again be subject to tax, you may need
to file a first taxpayer's report. The report must contain all the
information as shown in the Model Certificate B in the
Appendix of Pub. 510.
Example. In March 2023, Tim Clark pays $1,142.20 to an
air charter service to carry seven employees from
Washington to Detroit with a stopover in Pittsburgh. The flight
has two segments. The price includes the $1,000 charter
payment and $142.20 excise tax [($1,000 × 7.5%) + (2 ×
$4.80 × 7 passengers)] for which Tim is liable. The charter
service collects the tax from Tim and submits it to the
government.
The person who paid the first tax must do all of the
following.

line 60(a). If you are liable for the diesel fuel tax on events
other than removal at the terminal rack, report these gallons
on line 60(b). If you are liable for the diesel fuel tax because
you have produced diesel by blending biodiesel with taxed
diesel outside of the bulk transfer/terminal system, report
these gallons of biodiesel on line 60(c). If you report gallons
on line 60(c), don't report those gallons on line 60(b).

tax column.
For calendar year 2023, the section 4261 excise tax on any
amount paid for international air transportation, if the
transportation begins or ends in the United States, is
generally $21.10. However, a lower rate of tax applies to a

and the tax applies only to departures. For calendar year
2023, the rate of tax is $10.60.
Diesel-water emulsion (IRS No. 104). If you are liable for
the reduced rate (see below) of tax on a diesel-water

met to be eligible for the reduced rate: (a) the diesel-water
emulsion must contain at least 14% water; (b) the emulsion
additive must be registered by a U.S. manufacturer with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air
Act, section 211 (as in effect on March 31, 2003); and (c) the
taxpayer must be registered by the IRS. If these requirements
aren't met, you must report the sale, removal, or use of a
diesel-water emulsion as diesel.
Communications and Air Transportation

the name and address of the taxpayer, the type of facility
provided or service rendered, the amount paid for the facility
or service (the amount on which the tax is based), and the
date paid.
IRS Nos. 105, 107, and 119. Tax is imposed at $.001 per
gallon on removals, entries, and sales of gasoline, diesel, and
kerosene described as exempt transactions. Multiply the total

than removal at the terminal rack, report these gallons on
line 62(b). If you are liable for the gasoline tax because you
have blended alcohol with taxed gasoline outside of the bulk
transfer/terminal system, report these gallons of alcohol on
line 62(b).
Multiply the total number of gallons subject to tax on lines
62(a) and 62(b) by $.184. Combine the tax for lines 62(a) and
62(b) and make one entry in the tax column.

gasoline blendstocks, kerosene used for a feedstock
purpose, and diesel or kerosene sold or used in Alaska.
Kerosene (IRS No. 35). If you are liable for the kerosene tax
on removal at the terminal rack (not located at an airport),
report these gallons on line 35(a). If you are liable for the
kerosene tax on events other than removal at the terminal
rack, report these gallons of kerosene on line 35(b).
Multiply the total number of gallons subject to tax on lines
35(a) and 35(b) by $.244 and make one entry in the tax
column.
Surtax on any liquid used in a fractional ownership pro-
gram aircraft as fuel (IRS No. 13). Fuel used in a fractional
ownership program aircraft, as defined below, after March 31,
2012, is subject to a surtax of $.141 per gallon. The fractional
ownership program manager is liable for the surtax. If you are
liable, report these gallons on the line for IRS No. 13.
The surtax applies in addition to any other taxes imposed
on the removal, entry, use, or sale of the fuel. If the surtax is
imposed, the flight isn't considered commercial aviation.
Instead, the tax on the fuel used in the flight is imposed at the
noncommercial aviation rate of $.219 per gallon (IRS No. 69).

Fractional program aircraft. Any aircraft that, in any
fractional ownership aircraft program, is listed as a fractional
program aircraft in the management specifications issued to
the manager of such program by the Federal Aviation
Administration under subpart K of part 91, title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, and is registered in the United States.
Fractional program aircraft aren't considered used for
transportation of a qualified fractional owner, or on account of
such qualified fractional owner, when they are used for flight
demonstration, maintenance, or crew training. In such
situations, the flight isn't commercial aviation. Instead, the tax
on the fuel used in the flight is imposed at the noncommercial
aviation rate.

Payment of Taxes
Generally, semimonthly deposits of excise taxes are required.
A semimonthly period is the first 15 days of a month (the
first semimonthly period) or the 16th through the last day of a
month (the second semimonthly period).
However, no deposit is required for the situations listed
below. The taxes are payable with the return.

When To Make Deposits

•
the floor stocks tax, which generally requires a single deposit.
Special rule for deposits of taxes in September 2023. If
you are required to make deposits, see the chart below. The
special rule doesn't apply to taxes not required to be
sections 40.6302(c)-2 and 40.6302(c)-3 for rules to figure the
net tax liability for the deposits due in September.
The regular method applies to all taxes on Form 720, Part
I, except for communications and air transportation taxes if
deposits are based on amounts billed or tickets sold, rather
than on amounts actually collected. See Alternative method
(IRS Nos. 22, 26, 27, and 28), below.
If you are depositing more than one tax under a method,
combine all the taxes under the method and make one
deposit for the semimonthly period.
-11-
Instructions for Form 720 (Rev. 12-2023)
Safe Harbor Rule
Regular method. The deposit of tax for a semimonthly
period is due by the 14th day following that period. Generally,
this is the 29th day of a month for the first semimonthly period
and the 14th day of the following month for the second
semimonthly period. If the 14th or the 29th day falls on a
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, you must make the
deposit by the immediately preceding day that isn't a
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
Alternative method (IRS Nos. 22, 26, 27, and 28).
Deposits of communications and air transportation taxes may
be based on taxes included in amounts billed or tickets sold
during a semimonthly period instead of on taxes actually
collected during the period. Under the alternative method, the
tax included in amounts billed or tickets sold during a
semimonthly period is considered collected during the first 7
days of the second following semimonthly period. The
deposit of tax is due by the third business day after the
seventh day of that period.
The safe harbor rule applies separately to deposits under the
regular method and the alternative method. Persons who
filed Form 720 for the lookback quarter (the second calendar
quarter preceding the current quarter) are considered to
meet the semimonthly deposit requirement if the deposit for
each semimonthly period in the current quarter is at least 1/6
(16.67%) of the net tax liability reported for the lookback
quarter.
For the semimonthly period for which the additional
deposit is required (September 1–11 and 16–26), the
additional deposit must be at least 11/90 (12.23%) of the net
tax liability reported for the lookback quarter. Also, the total
deposit for that semimonthly period must be at least 1/6
(16.67%) of the net tax liability reported for the lookback
quarter.
Exceptions. The safe harbor rule doesn't apply to the
following quarters.
Example. The tax included in amounts billed or tickets
sold for the period June 16–30, 2023, is considered collected
from July 16–22, 2023, and must be deposited by July 26,
2023.
The first and second quarters beginning on or after the
•
effective date of an increase in the rate of tax unless the
deposit of taxes for each semimonthly period in the calendar
quarter is at least 1/6 (16.67%) of the tax liability you would
have had for the lookback quarter if the increased rate of tax
had been in effect for that lookback quarter.
To use the alternative method, you must keep separate
accounts of the tax included in amounts billed or tickets sold
during the month and report on Form 720 the tax included in
amounts billed or tickets sold and not the amount of tax that
is actually collected. For example, amounts billed in
Any quarter if liability includes any tax not in effect
