I can make you feel better..
took my truck off the road last year in July. Decided I didn’t need to pay for my 2290 since the truck wasn’t going to be worked for awhile, since I run out of money.
Well I still want to keep my authority active and my irp/ifta active, I totally forgot I needed the 2290 to renew my plates !
Went to file it last minute , of course the irs is closed from mid December to mid January. Wasn’t able to have it accepted by the government until mid January. now my IRP is overdue since i cant renew without it, and then on top of that I got charged for 6 month of late fees by the irs as well as 6 months interest… turned a $550 payment into over a $1700 f up.
When I filed this year I realized you can claim an “exemption” if truck is worked for less than 5k miles or whatever the threshold is… doesn’t even cost any money but you still get all the paperwork so you can renew plates..
Yeah I am a grade A dumb ###
