The renewal period for HVUT Form 2290 is typically from July 1 to August 31 each year. Normally this 2290 tax is reported between July 1 to August 31, filing after that would get penalties and late filing charges.

Form 2290 must be filed for the month the taxable vehicle is first used on public highways during the tax period. The current period begins July 1, and ends June 30, as stated above. Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use. Note. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, file by the next business day. If you first use multiple vehicles in more than one month, then a separate Form 2290 must be filed for each month by adding the VIN# of each reporting vehicle. The filing rules apply whether you are paying the tax or reporting suspension of the tax. Continue reading →

  • The highway use tax applies to highway motor vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more.
  • The weight limit generally includes large trucks, truck tractors and buses.
  • The tax is based on the weight of the vehicle and a variety of special rules apply. These special rules are explained in the instructions to Form 2290.
  • Taxpayers may now pay the heavy highway vehicle use tax with a debit card or credit card. Payment can be made over the internet, phone or mobile device.

  • Vehicle owners must file returns and make tax payments by August 31, 2018, for vehicles used on the road during July.
  • All owners should consider filing and paying electronically. They don’t need to visit an IRS office because owners can file the form and pay any required tax.
