Difficulties of Paper Filing an IRS Form 2290 (HVUT)

By -

Although the IRS still accepts physical tax returns by postal mail, it is true that encourage E-Filing more and more. One particular example of this is IRS Form 2290, which is used to collect what is referred to as the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax or HVUT. It is a fee that the IRS requires all vehicles with registered gross weights equal to or exceeding 55,000 pounds to pay annually on heavy vehicles operating on public highways.

The IRS has already made it mandatory for all Trucking Companies or other industries that have to file a Form 2290 for 25 or more heavy vehicles to E-File the return. This IRS Form contains a Schedule 1 which must be stamped by the IRS before the vehicle can be registered with the state Department of Motor Vehicles. This form can be mailed to the IRS, which can take up to several weeks to process. It could also be taken directly to the IRS office, which can take several hours of your day.

To Encourage E-filing, the IRS has also stopped mailing the Forms to Truck owners and Trucking companies, which makes the paper filing of Form 2290 more complicated. A individual who decides to file a IRS form 2290 by paper has to login to the IRS website and download the physical form fill it attach a check and mail it across to the IRS and have to wait for weeks for the stamped receipt.

This form must be filed annually, for each taxable vehicle that is used on public highways during the current period. The Tax year for 2290 begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the next year. A Form 2290 must also be filed once a vehicle is placed in service. The due date for each month is the last day of the following month. For example: if a vehicle is placed in service on October 3rd, the Form 2290 will be due on November 30th.


Even though there are thousands, if not millions, of Heavy Vehicles that are required to file HVUT the IRS still requires everyone to either mail the Form 2290 to the IRS or actually come to the IRS office. Fortunately there is an easier way that has recently become available. www.Tax2290.com allows you to fill out your IRS Form 2290 online and send it to the IRS electronically!

Summer is a prime time bringing out the best of the nature and the time when truckers can enjoy while driving. Every bend has something new to offer the trucker. This can also be treated as a stress buster for the truck drivers as they have a hectic schedule to follow. After winter hues, it’s time for truckers to take some steps to ensure they have a safe journey.  Driving on smooth roads and cleaner environment, they are likely to see many different animals: from huge moose to small porcupines.
