‘Tis the season to E-file Form 2290 Amendments! Everyone recently E-filed the 2290 yearly renewal, and now, some are noticing errors or changes that need to be made.
We’ve already covered how to speedily E-file an amendment for increased gross vehicle weight. Today, the saga continues!
The second kind of 2290 Amendment is for suspended vehicles that exceed the mileage use limit. Suspended vehicles (Filed as Category W) can only travel up to 5,000 miles during the tax year (7,500 miles or fewer for agricultural vehicles).
This limit applies to the total miles the vehicle drives on public highways during the tax year, regardless of the number of owners.
