What should be done if the previous owner does not pay the tax and the current owner of the vehicle is different, before the end of the tax period?
The current owner is also liable for the total tax for the entire tax period to the extent not paid by the previous owner. The current owner has to file Form 2290 and pay the tax by the last day of the month following the month the notification is received from IRS that the tax has not been paid by the previous owner.
