When this happens, you need to calculate and report the additional tax for the remainder of the period on Form 2290, line 3. Additionally, you need to check on the Amended return box and to the right of “amended return”. Write the month the taxable gross weight increased. This should be done by the last day of the month following the month in, which the taxable gross weight increased.
