INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Only federal governmental agencies and buses for hire are eligible for the refund of tax on fuel
placed into a licensed motor vehicle. All other users of fuel in licensed motor vehicles, regardless of how
those vehicles are used, are not eligible for a refund of motor fuels tax.
NOTE: All refund claims are subject to audit for three years after the claim is filed.
WHO MAY FILE. Any person requesting a refund of Nebraska motor fuels tax paid or overpaid may file a Nebraska
Non-Ag Use Motor Fuels Tax Refund Claim, Form 84. Prior to adjustments, the tax paid on the eligible fuel must
be at least $25. This minimum must be met within a calendar year for each fuel type. Refunds of the Petroleum
Release Remedial Action Fee must meet a $10 minimum.
WHEN TO FILE. Only one claim per month may be filed by any claimant. You must file your claim within three
years from the date of payment of the tax. Claims filed for refunds of tax paid on aviation jet fuel or aviation gasoline
used in the operation of a FAA-approved air school must be filed within seven months of the date of purchase.

of Revenue, Motor Fuels Division, PO Box 98904, Lincoln, NE 68509-8904.
BASIS FOR CLAIM. Appropriate documentation must be attached to the Form 84. Documentation submitted
with the Form 84 will not be returned.
