If you are an owner of a heavy vehicle that travels on national highways you should know about the taxes involved for trucks and other heavy vehicles. Form 2290<\/a> is also known as the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax form<\/a> and IRS 2290. The names may be different but they all refer to the same tax returns applicable for heavy vehicles. The tax is controlled by the IRS, which controls the United States Treasury. All the taxes collected by the IRS through the HVUT Tax are channeled to contractors for the repair and maintenance of national highways. Not all truck owners have to file the returns, the tax is applicable for vehicles that weigh over 55,000 pounds only.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual tax season starts on the 1st of July and ends on the 31st of August of the next year. All people who are liable to pay the HVUT tax are required to file their returns in the given time period. The basic criterion is that the tax must be paid by the end of the next month from the date of purchase. If you purchase a heavy truck on January 2nd you will need to file Form 2290<\/a> by 28th February. If the due date happens to fall on a weekend or is a public holiday, you can file your tax on the next business day. If you fail to pay within the given time, the IRS will send a notice stating all of the interests and penalties<\/a> you need to pay directly to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
