Form 13-9, Application for Credit

What Is Form 13 9?

Oklahoma Form 13-9 is a state-specific document utilized by taxpayers to request refunds or credits for overpaid sales or use taxes. These overpayments can occur for various reasons, such as erroneous computations, canceled transactions, or exempt purchases that were mistakenly taxed. By submitting this form, filers officially ask the Oklahoma Tax Commission to review their cases and issue any justified refunds or apply appropriate credits to their accounts.

Eligibility criteria for applying

The eligibility criteria typically include individuals or businesses that have purchased where sales tax was erroneously calculated or collected. If you have paid sales tax on an item or service that should have been tax-exempt, or if you have been charged an incorrect tax rate, this form is the right avenue to correct that error.

How to Fill Out the 13-9-C Form

Knowing how to complete this Oklahoma template correctly ensures that your application is processed efficiently without unnecessary delays. As you embark on the filing process, you'll encounter several sections requiring thorough attention:

1. Input the claimant's official name—into the designated field at the top of the form.
2. Enter the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) if the claimant is a business entity, or the Social Security Number (SSN) if the claimant is an individual.
3. Provide the claimant's full mailing address, including the street name and number.
4. Add the current contact number for the claimant, ensuring it's a number where the claimant can readily be reached for any queries regarding this application.
