IRS Schedule 1 form 2290



What Is IRS Form 2290?
Federal Tax Form 2290 is used for Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return which is generally referred to as 2290 Tax to obtain Schedule 1, which is used as proof of payment to register your vehicle in any state. Use the stamped Schedule 1 that was returned to you by the IRS for this purpose. Form 2290 must be filed with the IRS for any highway motor vehicle that exceeds a gross weight of 55,000 pounds.

Who Must File?
Any individual who is buying or using a heavy duty truck is responsible for filing and paying the Heavy Duty Trucks Road Tax. User on whose name the truck is registered need to take care of the Heavy Duty Trucks Road Tax. In case the previous owner of heavy highway vehicle didn’t pay the tax the IRS anticipates that the current owner pays the full amount owed.

When to file?
Form2290 must be filed for each month a taxable vehicle is first used on public highways during the current period. The current period begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year. The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use. The filing rules apply whether you are paying the tax or reporting suspension of the tax.

When should tax be paid for vehicles used or acquired after July?
If you acquire a vehicle and use it on the public highways in any month other than July, you are liable for the tax for the prorated tax period. You must file IRS Form 2290 and pay the tax by the last day of the month after the month you use the vehicle.

How much is the Tax?
There are three different categories for HVUT rates for these vehicles. Vehicles Below 55,000 pounds do not have HVUT because they do not qualify as a heavy vehicle. Vehicles between 55,000 and 75,000 pounds owe $100, plus $22 per 1,000 pounds over 55,000 pounds. Finally, for vehicles that are over 75,000 pounds the maximum HVUT is $550 per year.
The gross taxable weight is calculated by adding the following:
  • Unloaded weight of vehicle, fully equipped for service.
  • Unloaded weight of any trailers equipped for service and customarily used in combination with the vehicle
  • Weight of the maximum load customarily carried on the vehicle and on any trailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle.

Who is Exempt?
Although it is rare, some Vehicles that fit the above description may be exempt from the HVUT and Filing requirements of Form2290. To officially be exempt from filing Form2290, the vehicle must be owned and operated by the following:
  • The Federal Government
  • The District of Columbia
