What is Line 14 – Other Claims under
Schedule C of Form 720?

Line 14 of Schedule C of Form 720 is used for various miscellaneous claims. These claims are related to certain uses and resales of articles that are subject to manufacturer or retailer excise taxes under section 6416(b)(2). The claimant must certify that the article was sold at a tax-excluded price, that the tax was repaid to the ultimate vendor, or that written consent was obtained from the vendor to make the claim. The claimant must also provide the necessary supporting information for the claim.

Subcategories of Other Claims:
  • Line 14a – Section 4051(d) Tire Credit: This credit lets a taxpayer claim a credit for the excise tax previously paid on tires sold on or in connection with the first retail sale of a taxable vehicle (reported on IRS No. 33). Under Internal Revenue Code Section 4051(d), the credit equals the amount of tax imposed on such tires and is reported on Schedule C, line 14a of Form 720.
  • Line 14b and 14c – Exported Dyed Diesel, Kerosene, and Gasoline Blendstocks: For claims related to exported dyed diesel, dyed kerosene, or gasoline blendstocks taxed at $0.001 per gallon, the claimant must provide the following:
    • The name and address of the seller.
    • The dates of purchase.
    • If exported, proof of export.

    For exported gasoline blendstocks taxed at $.184 per gallon, the claim is made on line 1b.

  • Line 14d – Diesel-Water Emulsion: Claims for diesel-water emulsion are based on various use types. The claim rate is $0.197 for most uses, with special rates like $0.124 for certain use types (e.g., Type of Use 5). The claimant must certify that:
    • The emulsion contains at least 14% water.
    • Undyed diesel taxed at $.244 was used to produce the emulsion.
    • The emulsion is used or sold in the blender's trade or business.

    For exported emulsion, the rate is $0.198.

  • Line 14e – Registered Credit Card Issuers: Credit card issuers can file claims for gasoline, aviation gasoline, diesel, kerosene, or kerosene for aviation that were:
    • Purchased by state or local governments (including Indian tribal governments) or nonprofit educational organizations.
  • The credit card issuer must:
    • Be registered with the IRS.
    • Not have collected the tax from the ultimate purchaser or have obtained their written consent.
    • Certify that the tax has been repaid or arrangements have been made for reimbursement.
    • Possess an unexpired certificate from the ultimate purchaser, certifying the fuel's use.

    If any of these conditions aren't met, the credit card issuer cannot make the claim

  • Tire Credits (Lines 14f–14h): A credit or refund (without interest) is allowed for tax-paid tires if they have been:
    • Exported
    • Sold to state/local governments or nonprofit educational organizations for exclusive use.
    • Sold to qualified organizations like blood collector organizations.
  • The person who paid the tax is eligible to make the claim. The claimant must provide:
    • A detailed description of the claim.
    • The amount and method of the claim calculation.
    • The number of tires claimed for each CRN.

    Claims must be filed within 3 years from the return filing date or 2 years from when the tax was paid, whichever is later.
