Inside This Issue


Temporary Reporting and Recordkeeping Relief for Certain Fuel Uses

IR-2026-125, Oct. 21, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced temporary administrative relief from reporting and recordkeeping requirements relating to taxes imposed by section 4041(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The relief addresses temporary compliance burdens while the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service evaluate simplified procedures for administering those requirements.

In administering the requirements prescribed under sections 6001 and 6011, the IRS will not challenge temporary failures to meet return-filing, reporting or recordkeeping requirements solely attributable to liability under section 4041(a) arising from taxable uses of dyed diesel occurring on or after Oct. 1, 2026, and before Jan. 1, 2027. This relief includes filing Form 720 solely to report that liability, reporting that liability on an otherwise required Form 720, and creating or maintaining records solely to substantiate that liability. The IRS will not assert civil penalties or additions to tax solely for failures covered by this announcement.

The relief applies without regard to whether the applicable filing or reporting deadline falls after Dec. 31, 2026, and will not require subsequent filing, reporting, or reconstruction of records after Dec. 31, 2026. Persons required to file Form 720 for other liabilities must continue to file, report and maintain records to substantiate those liabilities.

The IRS is aware of concerns regarding residual red dye in fuel tanks after the relief period ends and is considering an appropriate grace period or other mitigation measures, with further guidance to follow.

This announcement does not affect recordkeeping or reporting requirements independently applicable to another tax or to a claim for exemption, credit or refund.

Issue Number: Tax Tip 2026-75

Security reminders and tools for tax pros

It’s Tax Professional Awareness week which is a perfect time to remind tax professionals of ways they can protect themselves and sensitive taxpayer information. Here are some quick tips to do so.

Beware of malicious and suspicious requests
Tax pros need to stay vigilant to protect themselves and their businesses. Unfortunately, it’s common for them to receive “new client” or “document request” emails that deliver malicious links or attachments to steal client data or access systems.

  • Businesses, tax pros, and individuals should always be cautious of any suspicious requests or unusual behavior before sharing any sensitive information or responding to an email.
  • Warning signs may include unexpected requests for sensitive information, mismatched or unfamiliar sender addresses, urgent payment demands, or links directing users to websites that do not clearly originate from IRS.gov. Don’t click unexpected links or open unexpected attachments.

Protect client information
Cybercriminals and identity thieves often target tax professionals, because they have access to sensitive taxpayer information. Tax pros are encouraged to frequently review their security practices to help prevent identity theft and data breaches. Important security measures include:

Report any suspicious activity
The IRS encourages taxpayers,tax professionals, and the public to report suspected tax fraud, scams, identity theft, data breaches, or other tax-related wrongdoing by visiting IRS.gov/SubmitATip. Immediate reporting helps protect taxpayers and quickly stop abusive activity.

Use IRS Tax Pro Account to review and manage client authorizations
IRS Tax Pro Account offers a secure way to manage client authorizations, access tax information, and conduct certain business with the IRS. Tax professionals can use Tax Pro Account to:

  • View active powers of attorney and tax information authorizations after linking their Centralized Authorization File number
  • Withdraw authorizations that are no longer needed
  • Request new authorizations electronically for eligible individual taxpayers
  • Access tax information and act on behalf of your client within the scope of their authorizations

Tax professional businesses can also manage business CAF access, including specifying which employees are authorized to act under the business CAF.

Prepare for filing season
Tax professionals should make sure their account information is current, review their client authorizations and encourage clients to use an IRS Individual Online Account or the IRS app. Taking these steps now can help tax professionals protect taxpayer information and make working with the IRS easier during filing season.
