Federal diesel fuel tax bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.

When the IRS conditions your Form 637 taxable-fuel registration on security, a diesel registrant posts a taxable fuel bond on Form 928 under 26 U.S.C. §4101. The IRS sets the penal sum from your excise liability; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the diesel fuel bond actually covers

Anyone who refines, blends, imports, or otherwise handles taxable diesel fuel must register with the IRS under 26 U.S.C. §4101 using Form 637. As part of that registration the IRS applies an adequate-security test — and where it is not satisfied, it can require a taxable fuel bond.

The bond is filed on IRS Form 928. Under its terms you agree not to attempt to defraud the United States of any tax, to file all required returns, and to pay the diesel excise tax under §4081 or §4041(a)(1), including penalties and interest. If you do not, the United States can recover against the bond.

The penal sum is keyed to your estimated quarterly excise tax liability for the fuel you handle. If that liability rises or falls materially, the IRS may ask for a strengthening or superseding bond — we re-issue at the new amount, always at a flat 3% with no credit check.

26 U.S.C. §4101 · 26 CFR §48.4101-1 (Form 928)Registration for taxable-fuel activities is required under 26 U.S.C. §4101 and 26 CFR §48.4101-1, which lets the IRS condition registration on an adequate-security (bond) test. The bond is posted on IRS Form 928 (Taxable Fuel Bond) and guarantees the diesel excise tax imposed by §4081 / §4041(a)(1). The penal sum is set by the IRS from your estimated liability — confirm the amount on your IRS correspondence.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the federal diesel fuel tax bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The penal sum itself is set by the IRS from your estimated diesel excise tax liability for the registration period. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do all fuel registrants need this bond? +
No. The IRS requires a taxable fuel bond only when its adequate-security test is not otherwise satisfied — often for newer or higher-risk registrants. Established registrants frequently meet the test without posting a bond.
Which form is the bond filed on? +
IRS Form 928, the Taxable Fuel Bond, posted under §4101. We issue the executed bond ready to submit with your Form 637 registration or in response to the IRS notice that requested it.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the fuel tax bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What if my fuel volume changes? +
If your quarterly excise liability rises or falls materially, the IRS may ask for a strengthening or superseding bond. Send us the new penal sum and we re-issue at the flat 3% rate.
