Form 2290 E-filing Process

Form 2290

The IRS 2290 Tax Form online exists as a way to pay Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes, or HVUT,

which must be filed with the IRS for any highway motor vehicle that exceeds a gross weight

of 55,000 pounds.

Add Business

Choose the First Used Month

We support filing returns for the current tax year and previous tax years.

The “HVUT” Tax period begins in July and ends on June 30th of the following year. A Form

2290 must be filed once a vehicle is placed in service. The Form 2290 due date for each

month is the last day of the following month. If a previous tax year filing has been

submitted for a vehicle, then your First Use Month will be July - which is the first month of

the Tax Period.

Add vehicles

When filing an IRS Form 2290 for 2014, you may add any and all necessary vehicles,

including sold/destroyed, suspended, and low mileage vehicles. Taxable vehicles are those

that gross over 55,000 pounds and travel over 5,000 miles in a tax year. Suspended and

prior year suspended vehicles have not exceeded the 5,000 mile threshold (or 7,500 miles

for agricultural vehicles). Sold/destroyed credits are allowed for vehicles that were stolen,

sold, or destroyed in the tax year.

Make IRS Payment

Make IRS Payment if you owe taxes, there are several payment methods currently accepted

by the IRS.

Electronic Funds Withdrawal

The direct debit or EFW (Electronic Funds Withdrawal) pulls money directly from your

account. If EFW is chosen, the IRS will not process the payment on weekends or federal

holidays.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System is similar to the EFW but requires an account to be

set up at EFTPS.gov. To use EFTPS you must first register by going to www.EFTPS.gov and

click on enroll. Once enrolled into EFTPS, you will receive a pin number from the IRS within

5-7 business days. Please be aware you will not be able to submit an EFTPS payment until

you receive your pin number.

Check or Money order

Check or Money orders are simple payments sent to the IRS which are safer than cash and

less complex than the previously mentioned payment methods. If you prefer to pay your tax

due by mailing a check or money order to the IRS, you must include payment

voucher 2290V with your payment.
