ALTERNATIVE FUEL MIXTURE TAX CREDIT

On July 19, 2011 the Company filed an amended 2009 tax return claiming alternative fuel mixture tax credits as non-taxable income. The amended position has been accepted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the closing of the IRS tax audit for the years 2006 - 2009. As a result, during 2013, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $753 million related to the non-taxability of the alternative fuel mixture tax credits.

During 2009, the Company produced 64 million gallons of black liquor that were not eligible for the alternative fuel mixture credit. The Company claimed these gallons for the cellulosic bio-fuel credit by amending the Company’s 2009 tax return. The impact of this amendment was included in the Company’s 2010 fourth quarter Income tax provision (benefit), resulting in a $40 million net credit to tax expense. Temple-Inland, Inc. also recognized an income tax benefit of $83 million in 2010 related to cellulosic bio-fuel credits.
