IRS Is Live Again: February 2 Deadline for December-Use Form 2290 Filings

After the annual year-end maintenance shutdown, the IRS is once again accepting and processing Form 2290 filings. At TruckDues.com, we want to remind truckers and fleet operators that returns submitted now are being processed within minutes—making it an ideal time to act.

For vehicles first used in December 2025, the Form 2290 filing deadline is February 2, 2026. This observed deadline replaces the usual December 31 date, which falls on a weekend this year. Filing by this date is required to remain compliant and avoid penalties.

Many truckers depend on their Schedule 1 for registrations and ongoing operations. Filing early helps ensure you receive your approval promptly and reduces the risk of last-minute issues as deadlines approach.

TruckDues.com provides a dependable and user-friendly way to e-file your Form 2290. Now that IRS processing has resumed and deadlines are clearly defined, filing early allows you to start the year organized, compliant, and stress-free.
