IRS Alert – Form 2290 HVUT is Due on Nov 30th 2011

Updated as of September 28, 2011
Congress has passed and the President has signed an extension of the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use tax through September 30, 2012. By November 30, 2011, taxpayers will be required to file Form 2290 for vehicles first used in July, August, September and October 2011. Although the Form 2290 is expected to be available in late October, the IRS will not provide a stamped (receipted) Schedule 1 until November 1, 2011. In the meantime, you can still pay your 2010 excise tax, get your 2011 tags and register your new or used vehicle.

Paying Your 2010 Excise Tax
IRS e-file is not currently available for the tax period beginning July 1, 2011, but you can still e-file your 2290 tax return for the tax period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Choose the IRS authorized e-file provider that’s best for you.

Getting Your Tags and/or Registering Your Vehicle
You can get your tags for the tax period beginning July 1, 2011. Existing regulations require states to register a heavy highway vehicle when the application for registration is received between July 1 and November 30, 2011. If you have your receipted Schedule 1 for the previous year’s taxable period, in this case, July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, states can accept it as proof of payment.

Registering Your Newly Acquired Vehicle
States must register newly acquired heavy highway use vehicles without proof of tax payment if:

• you present the original or a photocopy of a bill of sale showing that the vehicle was purchased by the owner during the 150 days before the date the state received the application for registration; and,
• the vehicle has not been registered in any state subsequent to the data of purchase.
