Federal law requires that on vehicles with 55,000 pounds or more combined gross weight, proof of filing of the HVUT for the current tax period must accompany the application for registration. Proof consists of:
- A photocopy of Form 2290 Schedule 1 listing the complete vehicle identification number (VIN) and reflecting the receipt stamp by the IRS or e-file watermark, or
- A photocopy of a non-receipt stamped Form 2290 Schedule 1 along with photocopies of the front and back of the cancelled check or copy of your bank statement.
Only number 1 above will apply if the filing was in the “suspended” category. In lieu of the Form 2290 Schedule 1, we will accept:
- A dated bill of sale if purchased within 60 days of the vehicle registration date.
- A title application showing date of purchase if purchased within 60 days of the vehicle registration date.
The tax period for the HVUT is July 1 through June 30 and is always filed for the upcoming year. Between July 1 and September 30, proof for the current or prior tax year is accepted. After September 30, the current tax year HVUT is required.
Filings of 25 or more taxable vehicles must be done online, through an IRS approved company. More information on HVUT requirements and links to online filing are available at irs.gov or by contacting the IRS Form 2290 Help Line at 866-699-4096.
