IRS Form 2290 HVUT Amendments

E-file form 2290 amendments online with ease!

If you spot out any error in your form 2290 tax returns or any error in your vehicle information in your form 2290 report after filing, then you have to correct the errors with the form 2290 Amendment.

There are two types of Form 2290 Amendment

  • Increase in your vehicle’s taxable gross weight
  • Suspended vehicles exceeding their mileage limit

Increase in the Vehicle’s Taxable Gross Weight

The taxable gross weight is generally the actual weight of the unloaded vehicle ready for service and the estimated load customarily carried in the vehicle. The IRS has separate categories from category A to category V based on the taxable gross weight to file HVUT form 2290 tax returns.

When you have already filed form 2290 for your vehicle under a category of total gross weight and the gross weight increases during the current tax period, you have to report and pay the tax difference to the IRS by filing a form 2290 Amendment.

For example, if your vehicle has a total gross weight of 60,000 pounds, it falls under the category G in filing the form 2290 tax returns, and you would have filed the IRS 2290 tax payment according to the current tax period. However, in the same tax period, the total gross weight of the same vehicle increased above 75,000 pounds, then you have to file the form 2290 amendment to pay for the weight difference. Therefore, you need to calculate and report the additional tax for the new category using form 2290 and term it as an amendment.

The amendment should be reported with the following month of the first month of increase in taxable gross weight of your vehicle. You can easily report form 2290 amendments through the e-filing method using truckdues.com and get your new schedule 1 copy with the increased weight permit within a few minutes.

Suspended vehicles exceeding the mileage limit

You filed tax suspension for your vehicle in its form 2290 truck tax based on the estimated mileage less than 5,000 miles (75,000 miles for agricultural vehicles) for the current tax period. However, you have to operate your vehicle for more distance than the tax suspension limit due to your business demands. Then, your vehicle automatically becomes taxable. And you should report the 2290 tax form to the IRS and do the 2290 payment by filing the form 2290 amendment.

The amendment should be reported with the following month of the first month of exceeding the mileage limit of your vehicle. You can easily report form 2290 amendments through the e-filing method using truckdues.com and get your new schedule 1 copy with the increased weight permit within a few minutes.

VIN Correction

If you entered it wrong by mistake, you could correct your Vehicle Information Number (VIN) in your IRS form 2290 tax returns. You should file it once you spot the error in your form 2290 schedule 1 copy. You can file for VIN corrections for taxable and suspended vehicles but not for credited or previously suspended vehicles.

VIN Corrections was once a part of form 2290 amendments, but the IRS lifted VIN correction from the amendment category and made it a separate one to simplify the process. So, keep in mind that you need to report for 2290 VIN corrections separately.
