- August 31, 2018
When you have purchased a new taxable heavyweight vehicle with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more, as the owner or operator of the vehicle you are required to file the IRS 2290 Form by the last day of the following month. If you used the vehicle only at a certain period of the month or partly, the tax amount will be calculated for the vehicle used the month as a whole month.
For instance, if you started to use the vehicle in the middle of the month i.e. 15th of February, the tax amount will be calculated for the entire month of February, instead of 15 days time.
Form 2290 Due Date for 2018-2019 Filing
Usually, the tax amount is prorated depending upon the number of months of usage of the taxable vehicle on the public highways during the tax period. So when you used the vehicle during the month of January, you need to e-file the HVUT truck tax by the end of February. Then the tax will depend on the 6 months period instead of the full year. But for the vehicles that are first used in February, the tax will be calculated only for 5 months and so on.
IRS 2290 form should be filed by the owners of the taxable heavyweight vehicles by the last day of the month of first use (For more clarity refer to the below chart).

Although the due date for e-filing the IRS 2290 Form is the last day of the following month of the first use month of the taxable vehicle, the tax filers are required to e-file their truck tax HVUT 2290 Form before the specified due date, so that you reduce the risk while renewing the IRP plates.
The state government needs the proof of tax statement, that is the filing of Form 2290 before issuing or renewing the plates. The due date for e-filing your IRS 2290 Form is August 31st. In order to prevent the IRS penalties, make sure to file Form 2290 before the IRS deadline. After successfully e-filing HVUT, once the IRS accepts Form 2290, you will receive the stamped Schedule 1 in minutes through email.
