Short Statement:
Form 8912, Clean Renewable Energy Bond Credit and Gulf Bond Credit, was developed to carry out the provisions of new Internal Revenue Code sections 54 and 1400N(l). The form provides a means for the taxpayer to compute the clean renewable energy bond credit and the Gulf bond credit. Changes were made to the form so that the carryforward of credits from qualified tax credit bonds and build America bonds from 2008 could be reported. Since the first year these specific credits could be calculated was 2008, the 2009 form is the first year that will have a carryforward line. All subsequent line number references on the form and instructions that are affected by this change have been updated as appropriate. In total, the changes to the form resulted in a decrease in the total burden by 240 hours.
