2007 Form 8835 Major Changes
1] The Form 3800 line reference on lines 10 and 12 is changed from "1g" to "1f"
because the lines on the 2007 Form 3800 are renamed.
2] On lines 36d and 36e, the text “Non-business” is added to the names of the
credits for clarity.
3] Line 41 is expanded to allow for the credits which do not flow through the Form
3800, conforming to other forms which have been similarly expanded. This
expansion is due partly to P.L. 110-28, section 8214, which waived the AMT for
the IRC section 51 and 45B credits.

In the Instructions, the instructions for lines 28, 30, 41, and part of line 43 are removed since
they are no longer applicable.

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue
Code.

Purpose of Form
Use Form 8835 to claim the renewable electricity,
refined coal, and Indian coal production credit.
The credit is allowed only for the sale of
electricity, refined coal, or
Indian coal produced in the United States or U.S.
possessions from qualified energy resources at a
qualified facility (see Definitions on page 3).
Generally, if you are a taxpayer that is not a
partnership or S corporation, and your only
source of this credit is from a partnership,
S corporation, estate, trust, or cooperative, you
are not required to complete Section A of this
form. Instead, you can report this credit directly
on line 1f of Form 3800. The following exceptions
apply.

2

● You are an estate or trust and the source credit
can be allocated to beneficiaries. For more
details, see the Instructions for Form 1041,
Schedule K-1, box 13.
● You are a cooperative and the source credit
can or must be allocated to patrons. For more
details, see the Instructions for Form 1120-C,
Schedule J, line 5c.

How To Figure the Credit
Generally, the credit is 1.5 cents per kilowatt-hour
(kWh) for the sale of electricity produced by the
taxpayer from qualified energy resources at a
qualified facility during the credit period (see
Definitions on page 3). The 1.5 cents credit
amount is reduced by 1⁄ 2 for open-loop biomass,
small irrigation, landfill gas, trash combustion,
and hydropower facilities. In the case of a
closed-loop biomass facility, the 1.5 cent amount
is multiplied by the ratio of the thermal content of
the closed-loop biomass used in the facility to the

thermal content of all fuels used in the facility.
The credit is $4.375 per ton for the sale of refined
coal produced at a qualified facility during the
credit period; see section 45(e)(8)(A). The credit is
$1.50 per ton for the sale of Indian coal produced
at a qualified facility during the credit period.
The credit for electricity produced is
proportionately phased out over a 3-cent range
when the reference price exceeds the 8-cent
threshold price. The refined coal credit is
proportionately phased out over an $8.75 range
when the reference price of fuel used as
feedstock exceeds 1.7 times the 2002 reference
price. The 1.5-cent credit rate, the 8-cent
threshold price, the $4.375 refined coal rate, and
the reference price of fuel used as a feedstock
are adjusted for inflation. The reference price and
the inflation adjustment factor (IAF) for each
calendar year are published during the year in the
Federal Register. If the reference price is less than
the threshold price (adjusted by the IAF), there is

no reduction. For electricity produced, if the
reference price is more than 3 cents over the
adjusted threshold price, there is no credit; if the
reference price is more than the threshold price,
but not more than 3 cents over the adjusted
threshold price, there is a phaseout adjustment
on line 2 of Section A and lines 4 and 21 of
Section B. For refined coal produced, if the
reference price is more than $8.75 over the
adjusted threshold price, there is no credit; if the
reference price is more than the threshold price,
but not more than the $8.75 over the adjusted
threshold price, there is a phaseout adjustment
on line 7 of Section B.
Note. For calendar year 2007, the effective credit
rate for electricity, refined coal, and Indian coal
produced and sold is, respectively, 2.0 cents per
kWh, $5.877 per ton and $1.544 per ton; there is
no phaseout adjustment.
Section A example. If the reference price of
electricity is 10.0¢ and the adjusted threshold
price is 9.0¢, reduce the credit by 1/3 ((10.0¢ –
9.0¢) 4 3¢ = .3333). Enter the line 1 credit in the
first entry space on line 2, .3333 in the second
entry space, and multiply to figure the reduction.

credit. In the case of closed-loop biomass
facilities modified to co-fire with coal, other
biomass, or both and open-loop biomass
facilities, if the owner is not the producer of the
electricity, the lessee or the operator of the facility
is eligible for the credit.

Specific Instructions for
Section A and Section B
Note. Where line references between Section A
and B differ, the Section B line references are in
parentheses.
Figure any renewable electricity, refined coal,
and Indian coal production credit from your trade
or business on lines 1 through 8 (lines 1 through
22 of Section B). Skip lines 1 through 8 (lines 1
through 22 of Section B) if you are only claiming a
credit that was allocated to you from an S
corporation, partnership, cooperative, estate, or
trust.
Fiscal year taxpayers. If you have sales in 2007
and 2008 and the credit rate on line 1 (lines 1, 2,
6, 9, or 19 of Section B) or the phaseout
adjustment on line 2 (lines 4, 7, or 21 of Section
B) is different for 2008, make separate
computations for each line. Use the respective
sales, credit rate, and phaseout adjustment for
each calendar year. Enter the total of the two
computations on the credit rate line(s)—line 1
(lines 1, 2, 6, 9, or 19 of Section B)—or the
phaseout adjustment line(s)—line 2 (lines 4, 7, or
21 of Section B). Attach the computations to
Form 8835 and write “FY” in the margin.

Part I—Current Year Credit
Line 1 (Line 19, Section B)
Enter the kilowatt-hours of electricity produced at
qualified facilities and multiply by $.02. Fiscal year
filers with 2008 sales may have to refigure lines 1
and 19 as explained under Fiscal year taxpayers
above.
Line 2, Section B only
Enter the kilowatt-hours of electricity produced
and sold at qualified facilities and multiply by
$.01. Fiscal filers with 2008 sales must figure line
2 as explained under Fiscal year taxpayers above.
Line 2, Section A (Lines 4 and 21, Section B)
Calendar year filers enter zero on lines 2, 4, and
21. Fiscal year filers with sales in 2008 also enter
zero if the published 2008 reference price is equal
to or less than the 2008 adjusted threshold price.
See How To Figure the Credit on page 2 to figure
the adjustment.
Line 6, Section B only
Enter the tons of refined coal produced and sold
during 2007 from a qualified refined coal
production facility and multiply by $5.877. Fiscal
filers with 2008 sales must figure line 6 as
explained under Fiscal year taxpayers above.
Line 7, Section B only
Calendar year filers enter zero on line 7. Fiscal
year filers with sales in 2008 also enter zero if the
published 2008 reference price is equal to or less
than 1.7 times the 2002 reference price. See How
To Figure the Credit on page 2 to figure the
adjustment.

Line 11, Section A (Line 31, Section B)
Cooperative election to allocate credit to
patrons. A cooperative described in section
1381(a) can elect to allocate any part of the
renewable electricity, refined coal, and Indian coal
production credit among the patrons of the
cooperative. The credit is allocated among the
patrons eligible to share in patronage dividends
on the basis of the quantity or value of business
done with or for such patrons for the tax year.

Page

The cooperative is deemed to have made the
election by completing line 11 or line 31, as
applicable. However, the election is not effective
unless (a) made on a timely filed return (including
extensions) and (b) the organization designates
the apportionment in a written notice 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). Enter
