Form 8038 has been revised to include exempt facility bonds for qualified broadband projects (line 11k) and qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities (line 11o), which were authorized to be financed with private activity bonds by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, 135 Stat. 429 (2021).

Reminder: Use revised form 8038-CP to claim direct pay credits

Issuers of direct pay tax credit bonds should use the January 2022 version of Form 8038-CP for all future credit payment claims. Using a prior version of Form 8038-CP may cause processing delays.

Below are links to the revised form and instructions:

Form 8038-CP is used to claim refundable tax credit payments payable to issuers of qualified build America bonds, recovery zone economic development bonds, and specified tax credit bonds.
