Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Form 2290?

Question

State of California. My fleet consists of 3 trucks, however currently two are registered as NON-OP. On the Schedule 1 of the 2290 tax form, do I still need to enter the vin of my two non-op trucks? Are they excluded from the tax period? Only knowledgeable responses please and thank you in advance for any help!

Answer 1

No, there is no need to put on the two that are registered as NON-OP.  Yes they are excluded from the tax period

Answer 2

You have the cart before the horse here.  You need the acknowledged taxpayer section of Form 2290 to register the vehicles for operation so if you don't report them, you can't license them.  Since they are non-op, this will not be a problem.
