*IRS reminds all truckers the deadline to file and pay heavy highway vehicle use tax is Aug 31*
The heavy highway vehicle use tax is a federal excise tax. These taxes are used to pay for highway and mass transit projects. It is annual tax on heavy highway motor vehicles operating on public highways with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. The deadline to file and this tax is Wednesday, August 31, 2022.
All taxpayers who file Form 2290 [ [link removed] ] are encouraged to do so electronically. Those with 25 or more taxed vehicles must e-file. All the information needed to file is on the Trucking Tax Center [ [link removed] ].
*Here are the steps taxpayers should follow*:
*Gather information*. Filers will need these things to complete and file their 2290:
* An employer identification number is required. Taxpayers cannot use their Social Security number. Anyone who doesn't have an EIN can apply online [ [link removed] ]. Taxpayers should use the same name on their Form 2290 as was assigned to them with their EIN. The name control [ [link removed] ] on Form 2290 must match their EIN.
* Vehicle identification number of each vehicle.
* Taxable gross weight of each vehicle. Filers can use the table on page 2 of the Form 2290 to calculate their tax for vehicles based on each vehicle's weight.
*File*. There are two ways taxpayers can file Form 2290:
* E-file [ [link removed] ]. All taxpayers can file electronically for faster processing. The advantage of e-filing Form 2290 is the IRS provides a watermarked Form 2290 Schedule 1 to the taxpayer within minutes of receiving the e-filed return. Paper filers receive their Schedule 1 within 6 weeks after the IRS receives the return. Taxpayers who are reporting 25 or more vehicles are required to file electronically.
* By paper. Taxpayers can complete Form 2290 [ [link removed] ] and then mail it to the IRS. Filers can go to the Form 2290 Instructions [ [link removed] ] for the correct mailing address.
*Pay*. There are several ways for taxpayers to pay this tax:
* Credit card or debit card [ [link removed] ]. Filers can pay by internet, phone, or mobile device.
* Electronic funds withdrawal [ [link removed] ]. Taxpayers can authorize a direct debit when they file electronically.
* Electronic Federal Tax Payment System [ [link removed] ]. Using this system requires advanced enrollment. [ [link removed] ]
* Check or money order [ [link removed] ]. Mail Form 2290 and Form 2290-V, Payment Voucher, to:
Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 932500
Louisville, KY 40293-2500
