Additionally for 2020 only, the CARES Act provided that kerosene used in commercial aviation from March 28, 2020, through December 31, 2020 will be treated as a nontaxable use. This is considered a tax holiday and you must file a claim for the difference if used in commercial aviation.
You must provide the number of gallons of fuel on the return. Please be sure to have receipts for the amounts claimed.
