  • Increase in Taxable Gross Weight

    Your vehicle’s taxable gross weight increases and moves into a higher weight category, additional HVUT is due from the month of the change.

    A suspended vehicle exceeds the mileage limit, generally more than 5,000 miles on public roads for most vehicles or 7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles.

  • VIN Correction Required

    Your previously accepted return includes a VIN error and you need a corrected Schedule 1.

  • Other IRS-Approved Adjustments

Types of amendments and corrections supported

Type 1: Weight increase

If your vehicle’s taxable gross weight increases and crosses into a higher category, file an amended return and pay the difference for the remaining months of the tax period. The IRS requires filing by the last day of the month following the month of the weight change. After IRS acceptance, you will receive an updated Form 2290 Schedule 1 that reflects the vehicle details tied to the amendment.

Type 2: VIN correction

If a Vehicle Identification Number was entered incorrectly on an accepted return, submit a VIN correction. VIN corrections do not create additional HVUT by themselves. After IRS acceptance, you will receive a corrected, stamped Schedule 1 for the right VIN, which is the proof you need for registration.

Type 3: Mileage exceeded

If a vehicle you originally reported as suspended crosses the mileage limit, file an amended return and pay HVUT for the period. The IRS deadline is the last day of the month following the month the limit was exceeded. Your updated Schedule 1 will continue to serve as proof of payment for registration.

Other IRS-allowed corrections

Some situations require a corrected filing to keep records accurate. Examples include a suspended to taxable status change within the same tax year and other filing corrections with IRS that affect tax due or the information printed on Schedule 1. For questions about eligibility, our correction filing assistance will guide you through the proper selection in the portal.
