The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax on distilled spirits and wines exported from the United States, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury regarding evidence of the productâs tax payment or determination and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the producerâs or bottlerâs certification, filed on TTB F 5120.20, that the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of unverified drawback claims.
