Use Schedule 6 (Form 8849) to claim refunds for cancelled/expired remittance transfers

A claim for refund may be made for remittance transfer tax paid on canceled or expired remittance transfers. The claim is made by the sender who paid the remittance transfer tax to the remittance transfer provider (RTP). Senders may file a claim for refund using Form 8849, Schedule 6, by attaching the required documentation included in the Instructions for Schedule 6 (Form 8849). The June 2026 revision of the Instructions for Schedule 6 (Form 8849) will contain this guidance.

Senders can submit refunds of remittance tax for cancelled or expired transactions at any time after cancellation or expiration.

Note: The sender may only file a claim for refund if the remittance transfer tax was not refunded by the RTP.
