If you operate a commercial motor vehicle with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more in Mississippi, a Southern state, you are subject to the federal Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). While the IRS collects this tax, the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Division enforces it every time you register or renew a heavy vehicle.
The MS DOR Mandate
Under federal law (23 U.S.C. 141), the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Division cannot legally issue or renew your commercial vehicle tags—including apportioned plates under the International Registration Plan (IRP)—without seeing an official IRS-stamped Schedule 1 proving you filed Form 2290.

Mississippi registration and permits
Mississippi IRP apportioned registration runs through the Mississippi Department of Revenue and applies to commercial vehicles operated in two or more jurisdictions at a gross or combined weight over 26,000 pounds, or with three or more axles.
Oversize and overweight loads are handled by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. Whichever permits you carry, the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Division still needs your IRS stamped Schedule 1 on file before it will register or renew a heavy vehicle.
