    Aha!....But here this is what's bothering me........The ending odometer of my last use....and the beginning odometer of the buyers first use,shouldn't they match perfectly? How do you explain the few miles in between for test drives ect.

    Just what you said.

    It is not needed for IFTA anymore. The truck is not subject to it.

    Call your accountant/tax preparer.

    People charge for the advice I have given.

    That will not be a problem.Your 2290 form will have to be filed only if you put another tag on the truck. Do not worry about about adding a few miles to the odometer.However, when you sell the truck, make sure the buyer knows the 2290 tax is his problem, as you are responsible for filing the form for the time you owned it, IF it were needed.
    That caused me a lot of paperwork one year when I bought a truck from a dealer. IRS wanted me to pay for 2290 form for the year truck was on dealers lot. Had to get signed paper from dealer stating the truck was not in use the year before I bought it.

    File the 2290 with the exemption I mentioned. It relieves you of any potential filing penalties and hassles.
