Do residents of Canada or Mexico have to file Form 2290?
You are required to file Form 2290 for the heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) if you operate a vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more in the United States. This applies to residents of Canada or Mexico as well. If you do not operate a vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more in the United States, you are not required to file Form 2290. In order for residents of a Canadian or Mexican business to operate in the United States, you need to have a business registered in the United States and have a United States Employer Identification Number (EIN).
How can filers from Canada or Mexico pay their Heavy Vehicle Use Tax?
Once residents from Canada or Mexico file their Form 2290, they will need to pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. When making the payment for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, if you are filing Form 2290 from outside the United States, it is important to keep in mind that the IRS will not be able to accept Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) payments from foreign financial institutions. To make your payment for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax you must select either EFTPS, check or money order, or credit or debit card.
