Suspended Vehicle Amendments

A suspended vehicle amendment is required when a truck that was originally filed as suspended on Form 2290 exceeds the IRS mileage limit during the tax period. Filing this update promptly keeps you compliant with Heavy Vehicle Use Tax rules and ensures you pay the correct HVUT for the months the vehicle was actually used over the limit. With SimpleForm2290, you can file Suspended Vehicle Amendments online and receive IRS acknowledgment and an updated Schedule 1 fast.

What is a suspended vehicle under Form 2290

A suspended vehicle is a heavy highway vehicle you expect to operate within the IRS mileage use limit for the tax period. The mileage threshold is 5,000 miles for most vehicles and 7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles. You still file Form 2290 to report the suspension and list the vehicle’s VIN, but no HVUT is due at that time.

When a Suspended Vehicle Amendment is required

You must file an IRS suspended vehicle amendment if any of the following occur:

01
The vehicle exceeds the 5,000 mile limit, or the 7,500 mile limit for agricultural vehicles, at any point in the tax period.
02
The vehicle’s use changes in a way that makes it taxable for the current period after being reported as suspended.
03
You need to stay compliant with IRS rules by reporting the mileage threshold exceedance and paying the HVUT due. The amended Form 2290 and tax payment are generally due by the last day of the month after the month the mileage limit is exceeded.
These rules apply whether you operate a single truck or a fleet. Filing a Form 2290 suspended vehicle amendment ensures the IRS matches your Schedule 1 with your actual vehicle use.
