Update Information on Heavy Highway Vehicle Registration Renewal

When it comes to determination of HVUT or heavy Vehicle Used Tax, unladen weight of the vehicle has no role to play. HVUT proof is required only when the commercial vehicle is crossing more than 55,000 pounds or more combined gross weight (CGW).

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) no longer accepts evidences that the application has file their return to IRS. One and only proof which tax payer need to maintain along their other documents is HVUT form Schedule-1 copy. E-filers receive watermarked schedule-1 copy as a proof of their payment.

IRS does not accept partial payments nor encourage on the same for HVUT. So truckers, get your documents ready, July has already slipped in… It’s time to file your return to IRS, without any penalties or interest.

E-filing is one method which IRS recommends every tax filer to use. E-filing is the easiest, simplest and safest method, also saving time and energy. IRS requires tax payers with more than 25 vehicles should e-file form 2290 return, and receives their schedule-1 copy online.

Procedures for Renewal of Registration:

Any of the following may be accepted by DMV as a proof of HVUT payment for the renewal of registration:
  • Original or photocopy of an IRS stamped Schedule 1, Form 2290 (electronically watermarked or manually stamped.
  • Photocopy of the front and back of the cancelled check payable to IRS, clearing the entire payment.
  • Original or photocopy of an IRS receipted Schedule 1; Form 2290 listing the vehicle is exempted from filing taxes.

Background

Various departmental manuals, DMV VIN 2008-2 and Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Changes stated for HVUT proof, every commercial vehicle or buses with an unladen weight of 8,001 pounds or more that operate at CGW of 55,000 pounds. Federal Legislation eliminated partial payment method option, therefore evidence of making payment to IRS is not allowed as a proof of HVUT.

DMV VIN 2008-2, Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Changes, stated that tax payers should file their return electronically if they own more than 25 vehicles. Notification to memo is available online at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/home/dmv.html under Publications made via California DMVs Automated E-mail Alert Service in November 2010.
