Form 2290 Credit: How to Report a Truck Sale to the IRS

As one of the top 2290 e-file service companies,, we know tax rules can be hard to deal with. If you sold a big road vehicle (55,000 pounds or more) and paid the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) on it, you might get some cash back. Don’t miss out! It’s key to tell the IRS right by filling out your form to claim this money back.

You have to let the IRS know by using a changed Form 2290, and check the “Sale of Vehicle” box in Part II. You'll need to list facts about the truck, like its Vehicle ID Number (VIN) and when you sold it. Also, note when you first used it in that tax year.

Why can you get this credit? The HVUT is paid for a full tax year (July 1st to June 30th). Sell your truck early, and you can get some tax money back for the months you didn't use it. This makes sure you only pay tax for the time you owned the truck.
