Tkinter Checkbox with if statement issues

Having some difficulty using an if statement with the checkbuttons. I tried this any many other variations: Python: if checkbutton is selected

    uvcheckvar = tk.IntVar()
    uvcheckvar.set(0)

    c1 = tk.Checkbutton(leftframeobjcol, text="UV", variable = uvcheckvar,
        command=reset) #I've tried setting their onvalue = 1 and offvalue = 0 as well
    c1.pack()

    if checkvar.get() == 1: #or I've tried 'if checkvar.get() and checkvar == 1
        print("test")

Doesn't seem to work for some reason. My goal is to have it print something once I click the checkbox (a test at this point. Long term looking to change an array). I can't seem to find the solution as the link provided above does not solve my problem. Surely this is an easy fix somehow? Am I misunderstanding something? Any resource or assistance is appreciated
