The Stamped Schedule 1: How to Obtain and Present Your HVUT Payment Receipt

Every truck driver, small fleet boss, or solo carrier across America relies on a single paper - it shapes how you register and if you can legally roll. Known as the Stamped Schedule, it’s that IRS-marked sheet you need each year. Skip it, and tag renewal at the DMV hits a wall. Need IFTA permits? Same story. Get pulled over for a check? They’ll want proof of HVUT rules followed - this form shows it. No stamp, no smooth sailing.

Yet what's the real deal on grabbing your stamped Schedule, why does it matter this much, or how can you snag it quick without wrestling IRS delays or form mistakes? This breakdown walks you through every bit - while showing how SimpleTruckTax gets it done swiftly, right the first time, no headaches tagged along.

What Is a Stamped Schedule 1?

A stamped schedule's the go-to document approved by the IRS showing you've covered the HVUT for your truck - or whole fleet - through Form 2290.

Once you submit the Form, and the IRS approves it, they’ll mail back a Schedule featuring a digital mark from the IRS - most folks refer to this as “the stamped version.”

This Schedule 1 includes:

  • EIN
  • Business/owner name
  • VINs of cars that owe tax
  • A clear IRS mark confirming it’s accepted
  • Tax period along with proof of payment

This paper’s missing? Then no legal registration - or renewal - for your rig at any U.S. DMV.

Why You Need Schedule 1: Where It’s Required:

Your IRS-approved Schedule shows you’ve covered the HVUT fees for your truck. So, whether during inspections or roadside checks, keep it ready - authorities might ask for it anytime

  • IFTA permits
  • Truck inspections
  • Commercial trucking audits
  • Cross-state operations

If your rig hits lbs or above, hand in this paper yearly - or forget hitting the road. Missing a plan? Stay parked.

I have been using Simple Truck Tax for six years now to file our yearly 2290. It is simple to use, and they file it quickly. I have a login, and it is easy to add and remove trucks. They remember my information, so I don't have to upload it again the following year. I definitely recommend their 2290 service.
