I know in MN I can fill out a form to get a refund for my state's gas tax, currently .22 per gallon for anything I use off road.

Does anyone know if there's a form to fill out for the federal tax as well?

I figure as of right now, my off road diesel is running right at $4.30 / gallon. Road diesel just went up to $4.75 here yesterday.

Gas is at $3.85, but if I reduce the state's gas tax, now it drops down to $3.63, and if I could get a refund for the federal tax, it would drop down about another .18, which would almost be $1 per gallon cheaper than the off road diesel.

If I ran a gas mower at 1/2 gallon more per hour, the rate would be $4.65 per hour at 1.5 gallons per hour, vs $4.30 per hour at 1 gallon for the diesel.

Just wondering if anyone can lead me in the direction to get an answer about federal gas tax refunds.

Thanks.

I already deduct all fuel use from my taxes...
So I can't get a refund on top of that, I don't think.

Either how I ain't asking Uncle Sam to bail me out, poor guy.
That fellow I don't know he does it, everyone always thinks he
is so rich but that fool's so poor he's trillions deep in the red.

Wrong. You can still get the credit for off road use.

It is form 4136 credit for offroad fuel use. Very long form but simple as you only have to fill in about 5 lines.
