Purpose of Form Use Form 8896 to claim the low sulfur diesel fuel production credit. The credit generally is 5 cents for every gallon of low sulfur diesel fuel produced by a qualified small business refiner during the tax year. However, the total credits allowed for all tax years cannot be more than the refiner’s qualified costs limitation on line 3. This credit is part of the general business credit. Partnerships, S corporations, and cooperatives must file this form to claim the credit. All other taxpayers are not required to complete or file this form if their only source for this credit is a partnership, S corporation, or cooperative. Instead, they can report this credit directly on line 1m in Part III of Form 3800, General Business Credit. Definitions Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel This is diesel fuel with a sulfur content of 15 parts per million or less. Small Business Refiner A small business refiner generally is a refiner of crude oil with an average daily domestic refinery run or average retained production for all facilities that did not exceed 205,000 barrels for the 1-year period ending on December 31, 2002. To figure the average daily domestic refinery run or retained production, only include refineries that were refineries of the refiner or a related person (within the meaning of section 613A(d)(3)) on April 1, 2003. However, a refiner is not a small business refiner for a tax year if more than 1,500 individuals are engaged in the refinery operations of the business on any day during the tax year. For Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions. • December 31, 2009. Qualified costs include costs for the construction of new process operation units or the dismantling and reconstruction of existing process units to be used in the production of low sulfur diesel fuel, associated adjacent or offsite equipment (including tankage, catalyst, and power supply), engineering, construction period interest, and site work. In addition, the small business refiner must obtain certification from the IRS (which will consult with the EPA) that the taxpayer’s qualified costs will result in compliance with the applicable EPA regulations. This certification must be obtained not later than June 29, 2008, or, if later, the date that is 30 months after the first day of the first tax year in which the credit is determined. For details, see Rev. Proc. 2007-69, 2007-49 I.R.B. 1137, available at www.irs.gov/irb/2007-49_IRB#RP-2007-69. TIP Unless you elect not to take this credit, your deductions will be reduced by the amount of your credit. For details, see section 280C(d). Additional Information For more information, see section 45H. Specific Instructions Use lines 1 through 6 to figure any low sulfur diesel fuel production credit from your own trade or business. Line 1 Enter the number of gallons of diesel fuel produced with a sulfur content of 15 parts per million or less. Cat. No. 37704F Form 8896 (Rev. 12-2019) Page 2 Form 8896 (Rev. 12-2019) Line 3 Enter 25% of the qualified costs (defined earlier) for the facility that produced the fuel reported on line 1 if your average daily domestic refinery runs were not more than 155,000 barrels for the 1-year period ending on December 31, 2002. If your average daily domestic refinery runs were more than 155,000 barrels, the 25% is reduced (but not below zero) by multiplying it by 1 minus your excess over 155,000 barrels divided by 50,000 barrels. Example. Your average daily domestic refinery runs were 165,000 barrels for the 1-year period ending on December 31, 2002. First divide 10,000 (your excess over 155,000 barrels) by 50,000 to get 0.2. Next subtract 0.2 from 1.0 to get 0.8. Then multiply 25% (0.25) by 0.8 to get 20% (0.20). On line 3, enter 20% of the qualified costs for the facility that produced the fuel reported on line 1. Line 4 Enter the total low sulfur diesel fuel production credits allowed for all prior tax years (as determined for line 6). Line 7 Enter total low sulfur diesel fuel production credits from: • Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., box 15 (code P); • Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S), Shareholder’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., box 13 (code P); and • Form 1099-PATR, Taxable Distributions Received From Cooperatives, box 12 (box 11 for 2019; box 10 before 2019), or other notice of credit allocation. Partnerships, S corporations, and cooperatives report the above credits on line 7. All other filers figuring a separate credit on earlier lines also report the above credits on line 7. All others not using earlier lines to figure a separate credit can report the above credits directly on Form 3800, Part III, line 1m. The cooperative is deemed to have made the election by completing line 9. However, the election is not effective unless: • It is made on a timely filed return (including extensions), and • The cooperative designates the apportionment in a written notice or on Form 1099-PATR mailed to its patrons during the payment period described in section 1382(d). If you timely file your return without making an election, you can still make the election by filing an amended return within 6 months of the due date of the return (excluding extensions).

Form 8896 is a Federal Other form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
