Have you filed Form 2290 and paid the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax for a vehicle and sold the vehicle before the end of the tax year? If so, you can claim a refund for the HVUT that was paid for that vehicle. You can also claim a refund credit on vehicles that were stolen or destroyed. You can choose to file a Form 8849 return and receive a refund or you can claim credits on these vehicles alongside filing Form 2290. In order to claim these credits there is some information you are required to provide in order to do so. 

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

In order to know which vehicle you are claiming a credit for, you must provide the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is a unique set of numbers and letters that typically consists of 17 characters used to identify the vehicle.

Taxable Gross Weight

The vehicle’s Taxable Gross Weight is the total weight of the truck, the trailer, and the maximum load it can carry. The Taxable Gross Weight can affect the tax amount that is paid so it is important that you put in the correct weight so that you receive the correct credit amount for this vehicle.

First Used Month and Tax Year

A vehicle’s First Used Month refers to the month that it was first put on the road. This is important to note because this is also a factor that determines how the tax was originally paid for this vehicle. If a vehicle’s First Used Month is July, the tax paid will be for the full tax year. If the First Used Month is any other month of the year, a prorated amount will be paid for this vehicle for the remaining months of the tax year. 

Is it logging?

A logging vehicle is a vehicle that only hauls trees or logs from forested sites. If this describes the vehicle you are claiming the credit for, indicate that the vehicle is a logging vehicle. 

Was it sold?

If the vehicle was sold, you will need to provide the details of the sale including the date of sale and the name and address of the buyer. You will also need to provide an explanation as to why the vehicle was sold.

Do you drive a vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more? If you answered yes, you need to file Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. If you drive this vehicle less than 5,000 miles a year, or less than 7,500 miles a year if it is used for agricultural purposes, then you must still file Form 2290 but no tax will be owed for this vehicle. In this case, the IRS considers the vehicle suspended because it did not exceed the mileage limit. 

IRS 2290 Form is filed a year in advance, so what happens if you file a vehicle as not suspended, paid the tax but don’t exceed the mileage limit after all? You can claim a credit for this vehicle next time you file Form 2290. 

Claiming credits on form 2290

When filing Form 2290 you need to first file for a truck that you are not claiming credits for, whether it is suspended or not. After entering this vehicle’s information, there will be a section where you are able to claim credits for vehicles. The information needed when reporting these vehicles includes the vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), the vehicle’s make, model, and a detailed description of why you are claiming the credit for this vehicle. 

Other situations where credits need to be filed

Not exceeding the mileage limit is not the only reason that you might need to claim a credit when filing Form 2290. When you sell a vehicle after already having filed Form 2290 and paid the HVUT for it, you will need to claim a credit for it. When entering the information about this credit vehicle in Form 2290 you will enter the vehicle’s information but also details about the sale including the date it was sold and the buyer’s information. This way the IRS knows when you are no longer in possession of the vehicle and how much tax credit needs to be returned.

Another instance where you would need to claim a vehicle credit on Form 2290 is if a vehicle was stolen or destroyed. For these situations, you need to be very detailed in your description of the event and specify when it was stolen or destroyed so that the IRS knows how much tax credit needs to be returned. 

Other options for claiming credits

When you need to claim credits for a vehicle, filing it on your Form 2290 is not your only option. Instead of claiming the credits on Form 2290, you can file Form 8849 Schedule 6. This form is designed only to claim credits on vehicles that meet the requirements. When filing this form, all you need to do is enter the information about the credit vehicle including a detailed description of why you are filing this form for this vehicle. It is recommended that Form 8849 is filed when you no longer have a truck to file Form 2290 to add the credits onto. This is because Form 8849 takes longer to process because the forms are processed manually. In some cases, it can take up to a year or more to get your credit back. If you do still have a truck to file Form 2290, wait until the next time you file and add these credit vehicles to your form instead of having to wait and the credits will be processed at the same time as your Form 2290.

¿Conduce un vehículo que pesa 55,000 libras o más? Si respondió que sí, debe presentar el Formulario 2290 del Impuesto sobre el Uso de Vehículos Pesados. Si maneja este vehículo menos de 5,000 millas al año, o menos de 7,500 millas al año si se usa para fines agrícolas, aún debe presentar el Formulario 2290, pero no se adeudarán impuestos por este vehículo. En este caso, el IRS considera que el vehículo está suspendido porque no excedió el límite de millaje.

El Formulario 2290 se hace con un año de anticipación, entonces ¿Qué sucede si presenta un vehículo como no suspendido, pagó el impuesto pero no excede el límite de kilometraje después de todo? Puede reclamar un crédito por este vehículo la próxima vez que presente el Formulario 2290.

Reclamación de créditos en el Formulario 2290

Al presentar el Formulario 2290, primero debe solicitar un camión por el que no está reclamando créditos, ya sea que esté suspendido o no. Después de ingresar la información de este vehículo, habrá una sección donde podrá reclamar créditos para vehículos. La información necesaria para reportar estos vehículos incluye el VIN (Número de identificación del vehículo), la marca y el modelo del vehículo y una descripción detallada de por qué está reclamando el crédito por este vehículo.

Otras situaciones en las que es necesario presentar créditos

No exceder el límite de millaje no es la única razón por la que podría necesitar reclamar un crédito al hacer el Formulario 2290. Cuando vende un vehículo después de haber hecho el Formulario 2290 y pagado el HVUT, deberá reclamar un crédito por él. Al ingresar la información sobre este vehículo de crédito en el Formulario 2290, ingresará la información del vehículo pero también detalles sobre la venta, incluida la fecha en que se vendió y la información del comprador. De esta manera, el IRS sabe cuándo ya no estaba en posesión del vehículo y cuánto crédito fiscal debe devolverse.

Otro caso en el que necesitaría reclamar un crédito de vehículo en el Formulario 2290 es si un vehículo fue robado o destruido. Para estas situaciones, debe de hacer una descripción muy detallada del evento y especificar cuándo fue robado o destruido para que el IRS sepa cuánto crédito fiscal debe devolverse.

Otras opciones para reclamar créditos

Cuando necesite reclamar créditos por un vehículo, declararlo en su Formulario 2290 no es su única opción. En lugar de reclamar los créditos en el Formulario 2290, puede presentar el Formulario 8849 Anexo 6​. Este formulario está diseñado sólo para reclamar créditos en vehículos que cumplen con los requisitos. Al presentar este formulario, todo lo que necesita hacer es ingresar la información sobre el vehículo de crédito, incluyendo una descripción detallada de por qué está presentando este formulario para este vehículo. Se recomienda presentar el Formulario 8849 cuando ya no tenga un camión para presentar el Formulario 2290 para agregar los créditos. Esto se debe a que el formulario 8849 tarda más en procesarse porque los formularios se procesan manualmente. En algunos casos, puede tomar hasta un año o más recuperar su crédito. Si todavía tiene un camión para presentar el Formulario 2290, espere hasta la próxima vez que le toque declarar y agregue estos vehículos de crédito a su formulario en lugar de tener que esperar y los créditos se procesarán al mismo tiempo que su Formulario 2290.
