Form 2290 VIN Correction

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a 17 character unique identification sequence that is a combination of both numbers and letters. The IRS uses the VIN for identification purposes. The VIN is a distinct code offered to every vehicle, so two vehicles cannot have the same VIN.

If you have already filed your Form 2290 return with the wrong VIN and the IRS has accepted it, you have to file a Form 2290 VIN correction to make changes to the incorrect VIN on your Schedule 1.

You must file a VIN Correction if you made a mistake on the Form 2290 you previously filed. There is no deadline to file a VIN Correction. You can file a VIN correction amendment when you realize that you have made an error in the VIN of any vehicle in your Form 2290.
