If you are registered as the owner of a vehicle used on any public highway, it is important to understand your tax obligations. The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax or HVUT tax, is a federal excise tax that applies to any vehicle used on a public highway with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. The tax is based on the weight category of the vehicle and the amount of use during the tax year.
What is the Form 2290 e-file program and why should you use it?
The Form 2290 e-file program is the electronic filing of the IRS Form 2290. The e-file program was created by the IRS to offer taxpayers a faster, more convenient way to file their Form 2290 tax return.
When you e-file online, you will receive an instant confirmation that your 2290 return has been received and approved. You will also receive the watermarked Schedule 1 confirmation that can be used for proof of payment of the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax for the vehicle's state registration or renewal.
E-filing is the easiest and most convenient way to file your IRS Form 2290 return. Plus, it helps to avoid any penalties or interest charges that may be assessed if you file a paper return.

Heavy vehicles with a low mileage use limit are known as Suspended Vehicles. Tax suspended vehicles designated as Category "W" are vehicles that have been used on public highways that do not exceed 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles) during the tax period. All low mileage suspended vehicles must still be reported to the IRS on the second screen of the 2290 return.
If you purchase a new vehicle during the tax period, you only need to report the new vehicle identification number on the Form 2290. You don't need to report VIN's that have been previously reported on a 2290 return for the same tax year.
You can also choose whether you want to send a copy of the stamped Schedule 1 to any additional email addresses. The last step is to review your return for accuracy and submit.
Our team will handle all the complex processing of the Form 2290 directly with the IRS. After we get the Form 2290 e-Filed and approved with the IRS, the stamped Schedule 1 document will be emailed to you and saved to your online account.
