HIGHWAY USE TAX (FORM 2290)

Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return or Form 2290 is a Federal Excise Tax imposed on vehicles operating in public highways with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. Taxes are collected annually and are used for highway construction and maintenance.
Form 2290 must be filed for each month when a taxable vehicle is first used on public highways during the current period. Tax period begins on July 1 of current year and ends on June 30 of the following year. The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use. The filing rules apply whether you are paying the tax or reporting suspension of the tax.

You do not have to pay Highway Use Tax if your vehicle or vehicles are less than 55,000 lbs gross weight.
I confirm that my vehicle/vehicles have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. I understand that I am not required to file Highway Use Tax if my vehicle/vehicles gross weight is less than 55,000 lbs.

If you are exempt, but you operate vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more, you have to file the 2290 form with the IRS but you are exempt from paying IRS fees. The processing fee is collected at the time of submitting this application.

If you are not exempt, the IRS payment will be processed on or after July 1 or within 1-3 business days from the filing date. The IRS will be deducting the amount noted with your declared vehicle weight.

(Example: if your declared vehicle weight is 55,000lbs and you transport logs, poles, and beams the IRS will be deducting 223.50 from you bank account.)
