Use Schedules 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 to claim certain fuel related refunds such as nontaxable
uses (or sales) of fuels. Form 8849 lists the schedules by number and title.
Use Schedule 6 for claims not reportable on Schedules 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8, including

Instead, use Form 720X, Amended Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return.
- To claim amounts that you took or will take as a credit on Schedule C (Form 720),
Form 730, Form 2290, or Form 4136.
