Are you planning on buying a new truck or putting one on the road that weighs 55,000 pounds or more? If so, you will need to file Form 2290 for that vehicle annually. Form 2290 is filed to the IRS by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). The tax year for Form 2290 goes from July 1st to June 30th of the following year. If you put your truck on the road for the first time in a month other than July, you will be required to file Form 2290 for the current tax year and pay a prorated amount to the IRS for the remaining months in the tax year. After this, you will be required to file by August 31st for the upcoming tax year because Form 2290 is filed in advance. This way you will be filing for the full tax year instead of a partial amount.
For vehicles that are put on the road for the first time in a month other than July, the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax will be due at the end of the month following the vehicle’s First Used Month (FUM). A vehicle’s First Used Month refers to the month it was first put on the road. If a vehicle’s First Used Month is October, Form 2290 for that vehicle will be due at the end of November. Technically you can File Form 2290 in any month that you first put your truck on the road.
