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.
