Hey truckers, let us walk you through few pointers and transfer of knowledge about your HVUT Form 2290 filings. Since HVUT is due every month on a pro-rated basis, we have been frequently asked about corrections on the 2290 if the information on stamped schedule-1 copies mismatches or have got mistakes. Incorrect information on the stamped schedule-1 copies would not be accepted at the DMV, so we are going to share some knowledge on when and how to file an amendment.
The IRS gives you an option to correct your original Form 2290 returns through an Amendment form, but people often confuse between Form 2290 and amendments. The Amendment is just for the corrections on the completed filing!
Human typo errors are natural and can be rectified at few circumstances. In a Form 2290, an AMENDMENT refers to making changes to the originally submitted return. For which you will receive an updated Stamped Schedule 1 copy from the IRS and you can make the additional payment electronically.
The IRS allows amending for the following errors:
- Increase in Taxable Gross vehicle weight
- Suspended vehicle exceeded the mileage use limit.
