Hello, truckers! We all know that the IRS charges truck taxes from the truckers for operating their taxable heavy vehicles or trucks on public highways. Every trucker and trucking company with taxable vehicles should file Form 2290 and report their truck taxes to the IRS each year during the tax period, usually starting on the first of July. If you decide to purchase a new heavy vehicle or first used an existing vehicle in your fleet during any month other than July, the IRS charges Form 2290 HVUT returns on a pro-rated basis. The general tax period starts on the first of July every year and ends on the last of June the following year. So, the trucks with the first used month other than July should estimate their 2290 truck taxes pro-rated from the first used month to June.

The Deadline is Nearing!

The last date to report Form 2290 pro-rated tax returns is the end of following month of the vehicle’s first used month. In this case, you must estimate pro-rated Form 2290 tax reports from February to June 2025 and report them by the end of March 2025. Please remember that the IRS is very strict about deadlines. If you fail to report Form 2290 HVUT within the deadline, the IRS will charge hefty penalties, late fees and interest on your tax dues. Also, you cannot get the IRS Schedule 1 receipt without reporting your truck taxes to the IRS. So, ensure your tax compliance by E-filing pro-rated Form 2290 truck tax reports on TruckDues.com and getting the Schedule 1 receipt on time.

Reporting Truck Taxes for Taxable and Suspended Heavy Vehicles.

The heavy vehicle or truck should have a total gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more and be estimated to cover more than 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural/logging vehicles) and are considered taxable vehicles. Suppose your February bought or used truck falls under the taxable category; you should report the Form 2290 truck tax for your heavy vehicle to the IRS on a pro-rated basis. You should also report Form 2290 to the IRS for your non-taxable vehicles as tax-suspended vehicles. But you need not pay any truck tax amount for the tax-suspended vehicles.
