This worksheet can be used to compute nontaxable gallons of tax-paid:
1.Gasoline drawn from a motor vehicle's main supply tank and used in the motor vehicle's auxiliary engine and/or
2.Special fuels (diesel, propane, and natural gas) drawn from a motor vehicle's main supply tank and used in the motor vehicle's auxiliary engine; used to operate the motor vehicle's power take-off unit; and used in a motor vehicle on nontaxable roads.
There are three options you can use to calculate your nontaxable gallons. Please review the explanation of each option before completing the worksheet.
Allowance only - You may use Option I if you are claiming an allowance but are not claiming nontaxable miles on the same motor vehicle.
Calculated MPG - You must use Option II if you are claiming both an allowance and nontaxable miles on the same motor vehicle. You may also use Option II if you are only claiming nontaxable miles and want to use the motor vehicle's actual MPG.
Standard MPG or Statutory MPG - Instead of using the two options above to calculate your nontaxable gallons, you may be able to use one of the fixed MPGs in Option III. When using Option III, you are computing your taxable gallons for the motor vehicle by dividing your taxable miles by a fixed MPG. Then you calculate the motor vehicle's nontaxable gallons by simply subtracting its taxable gallons from the tax-paid gallons placed into its supply tank.
