How to Report a Suspended Vehicle That Exceeded the Mileage Limit

A vehicle reported as suspended (Category W) is one you expected to drive 5,000 miles or less during the period, or 7,500 miles or less for an agricultural vehicle. If it crosses that limit, the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax becomes due, and you must report the change.

Steps to report a mileage-exceeded vehicle

1. Sign in to Consulics and open the return where the vehicle was reported as suspended.
2. File a mileage-exceeded amendment for that vehicle.
3. The tax due is calculated for the full period (not prorated for a mileage-exceeded suspended vehicle); choose how to pay.
4. Transmit and download the updated stamped Schedule 1 showing the vehicle as taxable.

When the tax is due

The tax becomes due once the vehicle exceeds the mileage limit, so report it promptly rather than waiting for the next period. This is the opposite situation from a low-mileage refund — here you owe tax you had not yet paid because the truck ran more than expected.
