Time to e-file your Form 2290 to the IRS

IRS 2290 form should be filed for the first used month of the taxable vehicle on the public highway for the current tax period. For the current year, the taxable period starts from 1st July 2018 and ends on 30th June 2019. And for the heavyweight vehicles, which are in use from the beginning of the tax period, the IRS tax filing deadline is 31st August.

You need to file the taxes for the entire tax period and the tax amount must be paid by the owners of the heavyweight vehicles. If the due date falls on Saturday, Sunday or any legal holiday then you can file on next office working day.

When you use more than a vehicle for more than a month, then you need to file separate Form 2290 for each month. Keep in mind that IRS 2290 form should be filed by the owners of the taxable heavyweight vehicles by the last day of the month of first use (For more clarity refer the below chart).
