- A printed copy of the electronic 2290 received by the owner if they filed electronically. Electronically-filed 2290 printouts have an e-file watermark including a received date diagonally printed across the form.
- A current year Form 2290 must be submitted.
- A 2290 marked or stamped as "Proof of Delivery" is NOT acceptable.
