File IRS Form 2290 by the provided due dates without considering the due of state registration for the vehicle. If any of the mentioned HVUT due date falls on Saturday, Sunday or National Holiday, you can file the form by the next business day. Filing Form 2290 by the due date is appreciated. When you foresee that you cannot make the truck tax filing on time, you can file for an extension, else you will attract IRS penalties for late payment and filings.
