Use this skill when an owner-operator trucker, fleet operator, leasing company, ranch owner with hauling trucks, or any business operating highway vehicles with taxable gross weight 55,000 pounds or more needs to file IRS Form 2290 (Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return). Triggers on phrases like "Form 2290", "heavy vehicle use tax", "trucker tax filing", "HVUT", "DMV proof of payment for truck", "Schedule 1 for truck registration", "stamped Schedule 1", "file 2290 for my fleet".

From the source SKILL.md

This skill produces an audit-grade Form 2290 filing package for any business or individual operating one or more highway vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more. It walks through weight-class determination, suspension category eligibility (mileage-based), logging-rate reduction, partial-period proration for mid-year first use, and the Schedule 1 VIN list that the state DMV requires for plate registration.
