Form 2290 Low Mileage Credit
You can easily claim low mileage credits for your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax. We will calculate your low mileage credit accurately and help you claim the exact amount.
1.What is a low mileage credit?
If you file Form 2290 and pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), but your vehicle doesn’t accrue more than 5000 miles during the tax year, you can claim the HVUT payment as a low mileage credit. You can use the credits to pay your HVUT the following year, or you can claim a refund on your low mileage credit by filing Form 8849.
2.What is a suspended vehicle?
Any heavy vehicle driven less than 5000 miles (7500 for agricultural vehicles) on public highways during the tax year is considered a suspended vehicle. You are not required to pay HVUT for suspended vehicles. However, you still must file Form 2290 for the vehicle.
Suspended vehicles will be listed as ‘Category W’ vehicles on your Schedule 1. If you pay taxes for a vehicle and it remains suspended for the whole tax year, you can claim a credit for the taxes paid on it.
