What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel Credit
under Schedule C Claim of Form 720?

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Credit allows the producer or seller of a qualified mixture (a blend of SAF and kerosene) to claim a credit. This credit is based on the gallons of SAF used in the mixture. To claim the SAF credit, the mixture must be used in an aircraft, and the credit must be claimed on Form 720, Schedule C. Only one claim can be made for each amount of SAF, and if a claim was made for the same SAF on other forms like Form 8864, 8849, or 4136, it cannot be claimed on Form 720.

In Schedule C, lines 12a, 12b, and 12c are reserved for future use, while line 12d is dedicated to claiming the Sustainable Aviation Fuel mixture credit.

Requirements to Claim the SAF Credit
To qualify for the SAF credit, the following requirements must be met:
  • Minimum Claim Period: The claim must be for a qualified mixture sold or used during a period of at least one week, which is typically met for quarterly claims.
  • Minimum Claim Amount: The claim amount must be at least $200. If the claim amount is below this, amounts from lines 12 and 13 may be combined to meet the minimum threshold.
  • SAF Specifications: The SAF used in the mixture must meet specific standards, including ASTM D7566 Annex specifications or ASTM D1655 Annex A1. The SAF must also be certified to have at least a 50% reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum-based jet fuel.
Documentation Required for SAF Credit
When claiming the SAF credit, the following documents must be submitted:
  • SAF Blending Component Certificate: For mixtures made with SAF synthetic blending components, you must attach a certificate detailing the gallons of SAF used. If already submitted with previous claims, provide a statement listing:
    • Certificate number
    • Total gallons of SAF
    • Amount claimed on previous forms (e.g., Form 8864, Form 4136).
  • Claim Information: Enter the number of gallons and the appropriate rate on line 12d. If multiple rates apply, provide a separate schedule detailing the rates and claimed gallons.
  • Registration Number: If you're a registered blender or taxable fuel registrant, enter your registration number on line 12.
