. If I travel on or after July 23, 2011, and I purchased my ticket on or
before July 22, 2011, am I entitled to a refund for the federal air
transportation excise taxes that I paid when I purchased the ticket? If so,
will my airline refund the tax to me?
A. Passengers who paid for tickets on or before July 22, 2011, for travel
beginning on or after July 23, 2011, may be entitled to a refund of the tax.
Airlines are permitted to refund the tax to the passenger, just as they do
in the ordinary course of business when issuing refunds for unused
refundable tickets (including the associated taxes). Because the airlines
and travel service providers already have the information about passenger
ticket purchases and travel, and in many cases have payment card information
that may facilitate streamlined refunds, the IRS has asked the airlines to
provide refunds to eligible passengers when requested. However, passengers
who are unable to obtain a refund from the airline may obtain a refund by
submitting a claim to the IRS. Because the IRS has no information about
passenger ticket purchases or travel dates, travelers who are unable to
obtain a refund from the airline will be required to submit proof of taxes
paid and travel dates to the IRS under procedures that are under development
. The IRS will provide additional guidance at a later date.
