Schedule 4136 Fuel Tax Credit - Will this stop my refund?

Filed my taxes with the fuel tax credit for my business vehicles and now im hearing that including form 4136 means no refund? Is this true? Getting worried because I need this money for my business expenses.

Tax pro here. This is a misconception. Filing Form 4136 for fuel tax credit doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting a refund. However, it does typically trigger additional review which can delay processing. The IRS just needs to verify the claim is legitimate.

It varies, but typically 8-12 weeks from acceptance date. Some cases might take longer if they need additional verification.

Hey! Instead of guessing about delays, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with fuel credit claims. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

These credits are getting extra scrutiny cause of fraud. Make sure you have all your receipts and documentation ready incase they ask!
