Information Returns(p5)

Form 720-TO and Form 720-CS are information returns used to report monthly receipts and disbursements of liquid products. A liquid product is any liquid transported into storage at a terminal or delivered out of a terminal. For a list of products, see the product code table in the Instructions for Forms 720-TO and 720-CS.

The returns are due the last day of the month following the month in which the transaction occurs. Generally, these returns can be filed on paper or electronically. For information on filing electronically, see Publication 3536, Motor Fuel Excise Tax EDI Guide. Publication 3536 is only available on the IRS website.
