Anyone who registers a heavy highway motor vehicle in their name with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more, generally must file Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, and pay the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax due.
The 2017-2018 tax year for Form 2290 filers is July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018. For vehicles first used on a public highway in July, file Form 2290 between July 1 and August 31.
You don’t need to visit an IRS office to file Form 2290. Most truckers can file the Form 2290 online and pay any tax due electronically. Take advantage of filing Form 2290 electronically and:
- Electronically file and electronically pay 24/7 without visiting or calling IRS.
- Print the watermarked Schedule 1 within minutes of filing and provide it to the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state.
- Visit the IRS Trucking Tax Center for all the information you need to get started.
You must e-file your Form 2290 if you are filing for 25 or more vehicles, but we encourage e-filing for anyone required to file Form 2290. You’ll receive quick delivery of your watermarked Schedule 1. With e-file, you’ll get it almost immediately after we accept your e-filed Form 2290. It takes about six weeks to receive your Schedule 1 if you file Form 2290 on paper.
- Find Form 2290 e-file providers on IRS.gov with prices starting at less than $10!
