If you operate a commercial motor vehicle with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more in Wyoming, a Western state, you are subject to the federal Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). While the IRS collects this tax, the Wyoming Commercial Vehicles enforces it every time you register or renew a heavy vehicle.
The WYDOT Mandate
Under federal law (23 U.S.C. 141), the Wyoming Commercial Vehicles 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.

Wyoming registration and permits
Wyoming IRP apportioned registration runs through the Wyoming Department of Transportation 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 Wyoming Department of Transportation. Whichever permits you carry, the Wyoming Commercial Vehicles still needs your IRS stamped Schedule 1 on file before it will register or renew a heavy vehicle.
