Read answer After You File: Registration & RecordsHow to Check If Your Form 2290 Is Current
Look at the tax period printed on your stamped Schedule 1, not the Received date. Form 2290 covers a period running 1 July to 30 June, so a Schedule 1 from last season stops being current on 30 June no matter when you filed it. If the period on your copy has ended, the truck needs a new filing for the current year.
