The Form 2290 deadline is officially over as of September 1st. To everyone who filed Form 2290 with us for the 2022-23 tax year, we would like to thank you for choosing ExpressTruckTax for all of your Form 2290 filing needs. For those who have not yet filed, it is not too late. The deadline may have passed but it is never too late to file Form 2290.
What is Form 2290?
Form 2290 is an IRS tax form that needs to be filed by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT).
When is Form 2290 Due?
The deadline to File Form 2290 for the 2022-23 tax year was August 31st but don’t worry, you can still file Form 2290. Form 2290 is now past due and while there will be fines for filing late, the fines will only keep increasing if you keep waiting to file.
What are the penalties for filing late?
If you do need to file Form 2290 late, you will be charged late fines. The fine for not filing Form 2290 altogether is actually greater than the fine for not paying the tax. This is why it is important to file Form 2290 as soon as possible and pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax as soon as you have the means to do so.
For every month the deadline is missed and Form 2290 is not filed, there will be a fine of 4.5% of the total tax due added for up to five months. If you underpay for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, there will be an automatic penalty of 0.5% of the tax due. Additional interest charges of 0.54% accrue each month that Form 2290 is not filed. This is why it is important to not only file Form 2290 but pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax as well.
