Each vehicle has unique rules and tax rates, so you must understand these differences, which will help you avoid mistakes while reporting your taxes to the IRS.

Special Rules on Agricultural Vehicles

Agricultural vehicles are heavy motor vehicles or trucks primarily used for transporting framing goods/products and farming purposes. They must be used in activities directly involved in agricultural production or farming, including soil cultivation, raising, harvesting, land clearing, repairing fences and farm buildings, building terraces and irrigation ditches, cleaning tools and farm machinery, and painting.

Food processing operations like canning, freezing, and packaging of farming products are not considered for farming purposes. The heavy vehicles used for food processing are not regarded as agricultural vehicles.

Agricultural vehicles are taxed similarly to commercial heavy vehicles by their first used month and taxable gross weight. The only difference is the mileage of agriculture vehicles; they become taxable only when they exceed the total mileage of 7500 miles on public highways. If your agricultural vehicle doesn’t exceed the mileage limit, you can report Form 2290 under the tax-suspended category and get the Schedule 1 receipt accordingly. Suspended vehicles are not eligible for tax payments.

Special Taxation on Logging Vehicles

Logging vehicles transport the products harvested in a forest area or the forest-harvested products from and to forest locations (public highways connecting two forest locations). These vehicles must be registered as highway heavy motor vehicles for transporting products harvested in forests under the laws of the state or the states in which the vehicles are required to be registered. No special tag or license place is necessary for a logging vehicle to identify as one per IRS regulations.

Logging vehicles are taxed separately in Form 2290. The tax rates for these heavy vehicles are comparatively lower than those for commercial heavy vehicles based on the total gross weight category. There is a separate category/column for logging vehicles with reduced tax rates in Form 2290. Truckers reporting Form 2290 for logging vehicles must check the box under the logging vehicles category and file the truck taxes accordingly.
