Future Developments

Line 3

For the latest information about developments related to Form
8907 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they
were published, go to www.irs.gov/form8907.

The $3 amount used to figure the credit must be adjusted by
multiplying it by the inflation adjustment factor for qualified coke
or coke gas for the calendar year in which the sale occurs.

Purpose of Form

Inflation adjustment factor. The inflation adjustment factor for
coke or coke gas for each calendar year is provided in the
Internal Revenue Bulletin in April of the following year. The
Internal Revenue Bulletin is available at www.irs.gov/irb.

Use Form 8907 to figure the nonconventional source fuel credit.
The credit is part of the general business credit. This credit is
allowed for qualified coke or coke gas you produced and sold to
an unrelated person during the tax year.
The coke or coke gas must not be produced in a facility that
produces coke or coke gas from petroleum based products.
Taxpayers that are not partnerships, S corporations, estates,
or trusts, and whose only source of this credit is from those
pass-through entities, are not required to complete or file this
form. Instead, they can report this credit directly on Form 3800,
General Business Credit.

Coke or Coke Gas
The fuel qualifies for the credit if:
• It is not produced in a facility that produces coke or coke gas
from petroleum based products;
• It is produced by the taxpayer in a facility located in the United
States or a U.S. possession that was placed in service before
January 1, 1993, or after June 30, 1998, and before January 1,
2010;
• The original use of the facility began with the taxpayer; and
• The fuel is sold during the period beginning on the later of
January 1, 2006, or the date the facility is placed in service and
ending 4 years after the date the period began.
You cannot claim the credit for coke or coke gas if the
facility used to produce coke or coke gas was used to
produce other fuels and a credit for those fuels was
CAUTION allowed for any preceding tax year by section 45K(f)
or 29(g), as applicable.

Specific Instructions
Line 1
Enter the date the facility was placed in service. If there is more
than one facility, attach a statement showing separately for each
facility the type of fuel it produced and the date it was placed in
service.

Line 2
Enter the barrel-of-oil equivalent of the qualified coke or coke
gas in the appropriate column. Figure the barrel-of-oil equivalent
by:
1. Determining the British Thermal Unit (BTU) value of the
amount of qualified coke or coke gas sold during the year using
prevailing industry standards, then
2. Dividing the BTU value of the fuel by 5.8 million.

CAUTION

Line 6a
Enter the sum, for this and all prior tax years, of:
• Grants provided by the United States, a state, or a political
subdivision of the state for the project;
• Proceeds of a tax-exempt issue of state or local government
obligations used to provide financing for the project; and
• The total amount of subsidized energy financing provided
directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local program
provided for the project.

Line 14
Estates and trusts. Allocate the nonconventional source fuel
credit on line 13 between the estate or trust and the
beneficiaries in the same proportion as income was allocated
and enter the beneficiaries’ share on line 14.
If the estate or trust is subject to the passive activity rules,
include on line 12 any nonconventional source fuel credits from
passive activities disallowed for prior years and carried forward
to this year. Complete Form 8582-CR, Passive Activity Credit
Limitations, to determine the allowed credit that must be
allocated between the estate or trust and the beneficiaries. For
details, see the Instructions for Form 8582-CR.
