2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax

from $15.00

File your IRS Form 2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax and get your stamped Schedule 1. The HVUT is required annually for trucks with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more, and the Schedule 1 is the proof of payment states demand before they'll issue your IRP or commercial plates.

We e-file your 2290 with the IRS, and most filings are processed the same day, which matters when a plate appointment is waiting on the stamp. The tax itself runs $100 to $550 per vehicle depending on weight and when it enters service.

Adding a truck mid-year? The add-vehicle filing is a small add-on, prorated by the IRS from the month you first used it.

What's Included

  • IRS Form 2290 Filing: We file your heavy vehicle use tax return electronically.
  • Stamped Schedule 1: Your proof of payment, delivered as soon as the IRS processes it.

Who Needs to File?

Any vehicle with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more that uses public highways. This includes most semi-trucks and some heavy straight trucks or combinations.

When Is 2290 Due?

The tax year runs July 1 through June 30. If your truck is already in service, the return is due by August 31. New vehicles must file by the last day of the month after first use.

What Happens After I Order?

We collect your EIN, VIN, and taxable gross weight, e-file your 2290 with the IRS, and deliver your stamped Schedule 1 as soon as the IRS processes it, most filings the same day. Adding trucks later is a small add-on filing rather than a whole new return.
