Truck Tax Filing Made Simple
Everything You Need to Know About Form 2290
IRS Form 2290 is used to report and pay Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), which is the tax applicable for trucks that travel on public highways with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more.
Truck owners, owner-operators, and fleet owners must file Form 2290 if the truck they own meets the IRS weight and highway use category. This equally applies to trucks that were not newly registered but were previously registered.
Generally, Form 2290 must be filed by August 31 for vehicles intended for usage during that tax year. For newly purchased vehicles, the due date is by the end of the month following the first month they are put into service.
The IRS requires annual filing of Form 2290 by August 31 for vehicles first used in July. If the 2290 filing deadline is missed, this could attract penalties, interest, and fees for the HVUT.
Taxes for Form 2290 are derived from the gross weight of the vehicle hence the IRS set weight categories. The heavier the vehicle, the higher the HVUT amount.
Taxable gross weight is the weight of the truck and trailer, plus the maximum load which is usually carried. IRS usually uses this weight to determine the applicable HVUT tax bracket.
Vehicles that fall below the threshold of 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) may be classified as 'suspended vehicles' under Form 2290. Such vehicles are termed to be not subject to HVUT but must still be reported.
The quickest way to get your Form 2290 processed is by e-filing it through the simple truck tax’s secure platform. Our eFiling reduces errors in submission and ensures fiscal accuracy and faster access to Schedule 1.
Payments of HVUT can be made through an EFTPS, credit or debit card, or by check or money order. The online payment option allows secure and timely tax submission.
Schedule 1 is the IRS-stamped proof of filing and payment for Form 2290. It is required for the registration of trucks, IRP plates, and DMV renewals.
These amendments can also be used to make corrections to erroneous VINs, as well as to report any increase in weight after filing. Incorporating an amendment is easy to do otherwise the IRS records will not be correct and compliant.
Recurring causes for rejection of Form 2290 filings are the EIN mismatch, error in VIN, or issue with payment as well. Know the rejection codes for the IRS to ensure quick resolution of issues and avoid delays.
In this regard, late filing and payment of Form 2290 would be subject to the penalties and interest charges by the IRS. Timely and accurate filing helps avoid fines and compliance issues.
With the right knowledge, filing the 2290 form may be literally reduced to a matter of minutes. The way that our system has been designed makes e-filing the simplest and quickest thing for truckers.

Form 2290, IRS Requirements, and Trucking Compliance
Form 2290 is used by taxpayers to report and pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). After accepting the return it issues a stamped Schedule 1 as proof of HVUT payment for truck regulatory compliance purposes.
An IRS-stamped Schedule 1 is required by state DMVs as part of the processes of truck registration renewal, issuance of license plates, and tag renewal for trucks or vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more as taxable gross weight. DMV registration renewal cannot be completed without valid Form 2290 proof.
Trucks which operate interstate under the International Registration Plan (IRP) must submit valid Form 2290 Schedule 1 during IRP plate renewal. Before granting apportioned registration for interstate commercial vehicles, IRP offices must verify payment of HVUT.

The assistance provided was beyond expectations. This was my first time doing it, and their support stayed with me until everything was completed. It took me longer because I was multitasking and they waited whileI was getting other things done. Thank you! The best service I have ever received from any phone support.
