FORM 2290 AMENDMENTS

Electronically File IRS Form 2290

IRS Form 2290 is meant to send information about the usage of a commercial truck and to

pay taxes on that use to the IRS. You can use this form for a single truck filing or up to

twenty-five vehicles can be reported on one form.

Anyone who is filing a return with 25 or more vehicles is required to form 2290 electronic filing,

but everyone is encouraged to do so.

If the information of vehicle changes, IRS want you to file Form 2290 amendments

to the originally filed Form 2290

There are three types of amendments available for form 2290.

1. Additional Tax from Increase in Taxable Gross Weight.

2. Suspended vehicles exceeding the mileage use limit.

3. VIN Correction.

ADDITIONAL TAX FROM INCREASE IN TAXABLE GROSS WEIGHT:

Taxable gross weight of a vehicle increases during the period and the vehicle falls in a new

higher category. For instance, an increase in maximum load customarily carried may change

the taxable gross weight.

The taxable gross weight of a vehicle (other than a bus) is the total of:

1. The actual unloaded weight of the vehicle fully equipped for service,

2. The actual unloaded weight of any trailers or Semitrailers fully equipped for service

customarily used in combination with the vehicle, and

3. The weight of the maximum load customarily carried on the vehicle and on any trailers or

semitrailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle.

SUSPENDED VEHICLES EXCEEDING THE MILEAGE USE LIMIT

If a 2290 heavy use tax filed, as a "Suspended Vehicle" and it exceeded the 5,000 mile threshold.

Suspended vehicle exceeds the mileage use limit. Mileage use limit for a heavy vehicle on

public highways is 5,000 miles or less (7,500 miles or less for agricultural vehicles). The

mileage use limit applies to the total mileage a vehicle is on the road during a period,

regardless of the number of owners.

A vehicle will be suspended from paying tax liability on form 2290 when it weighs 55000

pounds and above and is estimated to run on public highways with a distance of less than

5000 miles and 7500 miles in case of agricultural vehicles.

VIN CORRECTION

The 2290 VIN corrections would need to be filed if an error was made on the 2290 when

entering the 17 character Vehicle Identification Number. You can even file a VIN correction

for Free.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique serial number used by the automotive

industry to identify individual motor vehicles.

VIN correction is filed if mistake has been made in any of the VIN during previously filed

Form 2290. Earlier, VIN correction could only be done through paper filing but Now, IRS has

allowed VIN corrections to be done through E-file as it is quick and easy. You can get your

VINs corrected and receive your stamped schedule 1 in minutes.
