General Instructions

Purpose of Form

Use Form 720-TO if you're a terminal operator to report monthly receipts and disbursements of all liquid products to and from all approved terminals.

This is an Image: caution.gif

Reporting is required for inactive terminals. A separate Schedule B must be prepared for each position holder and for each related product code that is destined for more than one state or has more than one mode of transportation.

A liquid product is any liquid that’s transported into storage at a terminal or delivered out of a terminal. See Table 2.

Who Must File

Each terminal operator is required to file a separate Form 720-TO for each approved terminal.

When To File

Form 720-TO must be filed monthly. The report is due the last day of the month following the month in which the transaction occurs.

If any due date for filing a return falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, you may file the return on the next business day.

Send your information return using the U.S. Postal Service or a designated private delivery service to meet the "timely mailing as timely filing/paying" rule. See Private Delivery Services, later.

Where To File

Send Form 720-TO to:

Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Excise Unit
Stop 5701G
Cincinnati, OH 45999

Send the forms in a flat mailing (not folded). Don’t staple, tear, or tape any of these forms. If you’re sending a large number of forms in conveniently sized packages, write your name and EIN on each package and number the packages consecutively. Postal regulations require forms and packages to be sent by First-Class Mail.

How To Complete Form 720-TO

Below are suggestions that will allow the IRS to process the submitted forms in the most economical manner.

  1. If you need additional forms or schedules, you may use photocopies.

  2. Although handwritten forms are acceptable, the IRS prefers that you type or machine print data entries using 10-pitch (pica) or 12-pitch (elite) black type. Use block print, not script characters. Insert data in the middle of the blocks not touching other printing and guidelines, and take other measures to guarantee a dark black, clear, sharp image.

  3. Don't enter 0 (zero) or "None" in data entry boxes when no entry is required. Leave the boxes blank unless the instructions specifically require that you enter a 0 (zero).

Substitute Form 720-TO

If you want to prepare and use a substitute Form 720-TO, see Pub. 1167, General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms and Schedules. If your substitute Form 720-TO is approved, the form approval number must be printed in the lower left margin of each substitute form you file with the IRS.

Extension of Time To File

A first time request for a 30-day extension will be granted, if received in writing on or before the due date of the report. Additional extensions may be considered if received prior to the due date of the return. Send your request to:

Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Excise Unit
Stop 5701G
Cincinnati, OH 45999

Requests also may be faxed to 859-669-5788.

Corrected Returns

If you filed a return with the IRS and later discover you made an error, you must correct it as soon as possible. If you filed your return electronically, see Pub. 3536 for instructions.

When making a correction to a paper filed return, you must send in the first page of Form 720-TO and the schedule(s) that needs to be corrected with the "Void" box checked. Identify the transaction you’re correcting, either by highlighting or attaching an explanation. Then, complete another first page of Form 720-TO along with the corrected schedule(s) with the "Corrected" box checked. On the corrected schedule(s), only enter the information for the transaction you’re correcting.

Recordkeeping

Keep copies of information returns you’ve filed with the IRS or the data to reconstruct them for at least 3 years from the date of the return. Your records must be available at all times for inspection by the IRS.

Penalty

Failure to file correct information returns by the due date.

If you fail to file a correct information return by the due date and you can’t show reasonable cause, you may be subject to a penalty. The penalty applies if you fail to file timely, you fail to include all information required to be shown on a return, or you include incorrect information on a return. The penalty also applies if you report an incorrect employer identification number (EIN) or fail to report an EIN where required.



Private Delivery Services

You can use certain private delivery services (PDS) designated by the IRS to meet the "timely mailing as timely filing/paying" rule for tax returns and payments. Go to IRS.gov/PDS.

The PDS can tell you how to get written proof of the mailing date. For the IRS mailing address to use if you’re using a PDS, go to IRS/gov/PDSstreetAddresses.

This is an Image: caution.gif

A PDS can’t deliver items to P.O. boxes. You must use the U.S. Postal Service to mail any item to an IRS P.O. box address.

Specific Instructions

Name and Address

Include the suite, room, or other unit number after the street address.

P.O. Box

If the post office doesn’t deliver mail to the street address and you have a P.O. box, show the box number instead of the street address.

Foreign Address

Enter the information in the following order: city, province or state, and country. Follow the country's practice for entering the postal code. Don’t abbreviate the country's name.

Contact Information

Enter the name, daytime telephone number, fax number, and email address for the person who should be contacted to discuss this information return.

Identification Numbers

Employer Identification Number (EIN)

Enter your EIN. If you don’t have an EIN, you may apply for one online. Go to the IRS website at IRS.gov/EIN .You also may apply for an EIN by faxing or mailing Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to the IRS. If you have applied for an EIN but you don’t have your EIN by the time you must file your information return, enter "Applied for" in any space where your EIN must be entered.

Form 637 Registration Number

Enter the assigned IRS registration number. Regulations section 48.4101-1(c)(1) require pipeline operators, position holders, terminal operators, and vessel operators to be registered by the IRS. If you don’t have a registration number, use Form 637, Application for Registration. Form 637 has information on how to apply for a registration number.

Carrier and Consignor Names and EINs

EINs are used to associate and verify transactions you report to the IRS. Therefore, it’s important that you furnish correct names and EINs for carriers and consignors on the forms sent to the IRS.

You may use Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or your own form, to request an EIN from a carrier or a consignor. You may be subject to a penalty for an incorrect or missing EIN on an information return. See Penalty, earlier. You’re required to maintain the confidentiality of information obtained on a Form W-9 relating to the taxpayer's identity and you may use such information only to comply with filing these information returns.

Note.

Foreign persons may use the appropriate Form W-8. See the Instructions for the Requester of Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, and W-8IMY.

Signature

Form 720-TO must be signed by a person who has authority to sign.

Definitions

A terminal that is operated by a taxable fuel registrant that is a terminal operator.



Consignor.

The person that hires the carrier to transport liquid product.



Facility control number (FCN).

A number that designates a storage location within the motor fuel distribution system, or the bulk transfer/terminal system, or renewable fuel production facilities. Facilities include refineries (RCN), approved terminals (TCN), biodiesel production facilities (BCN), or ethanol production facilities (ECN). The list of facilities can be found at IRS.gov/Excise.



Gross gallons.

The total product measured in U.S. gallons without temperature or barometric adjustments.

The table below lists the mode codes.

Table 1. Mode Codes

J truck IJ import by truck EJ export by truck
R rail IR import by rail ER export by rail
B barge IB import by barge EB export by barge
S ship (Great Lake or ocean) IS import by ship ES export by ship
PL pipeline IP import by pipeline EP export by pipeline
RS products dispensed at a terminal for end-use or consumption RF removal from a terminal into refueling vessels BA product reclassifications
CE summary




Imports.

Reportable products entered into the United States by an importer of record/enterer. Only the following mode codes listed are allowed. For example, IB, IS, or IP (for pipeline). Reporting the country of origin is optional. See Table 3.
Note. An import is only reported when the product is first entered into the United States Fuel is no longer characterized as an import after the fuel product enters the United States.



Exports.

Reportable products leaving the United States. Only the mode codes listed are allowed. For example, EB, ES, or EP (for pipeline). Reporting the destination country is optional. See Table 3.



End-use.

When reporting end-use transactions using mode code RS or RF, the terminal operators or position holders should report their own EIN as the carrier EIN on the disbursements. No carrier report is required.

  • RF is used when a refueling vessel loads fuel at a TCN for end-use to refuel vessels on waterways.

  • RS is used when products are dispensed at a TCN for end-use or consumption in small quantities. For example, refueling snowmobiles, and other small over-the-rack disbursements.



CE Summary code.

Used when reporting product codes 001, 049, 092, 122, 188, and 960 in summary. See Optional Summary Reporting Instructions for Product Codes 001, 049, 092, 122, 188, and 960, and Disbursements Using Mode of Transportation Code RF or RS, later.



RF or RS Removal from terminals for end-use.

Monthly disbursement transactions for any product code using RF or RS may be reported using the Optional Summary Reporting Instructions for Product Codes 001, 049, 092, 122, 188, and 960 (Schedule B), and Disbursements Using Mode of Transportation Code RF or RS, later, or may be reported in detail.



Mode code BA.

Used for product reclassifications or conversions of products that result in a product code change only. Product reclassifications are not accounting journal entries correcting the books of the business. For example, conversion of ethanol (E00) to blend E10 with gasoline (065) or biodiesel (B00) to biodiesel blend (B99).

Schedule A product reclassification(s) amounts must be equal to the sum of the Schedule B amounts in total that create the mixture or product. For example, if you have 242,000 gallons of blended product, the Schedule A Receipts amount for that product code must be equal to the sum of the Schedule B book adjustment disbursements (220,000 of product 1 and 22,000 of product 2).
