Considering the purchase of a new truck or placing one on the road with a weight of 55,000 pounds or higher? Form 2290 must be submitted annually for that vehicle if that is the case. Heavy vehicle owners who weigh more than 55,000 pounds must file Form 2290 with the IRS for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). 

In general, Form 2290 is submitted on the first of July of the year following the previous tax year. The IRS will require you to pay a prorated amount for the remainder of the tax year if you put your truck on the road other than July. Because Form 2290 needs to be filed in advance, you'll need to file by August 31st for the upcoming tax year. Instead of filing a partial return, you will file for the complete tax year.

Vehicles placed on the road for the first time in a month other than July must pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax at the end of the month following the First Used Month (FUM). Vehicles are classified by their First Used Month when they were first put on the road. Form 2290 will be due to the IRS by the end of November if a vehicle is first used in October. As long as you put the truck on the road within 12 months of purchase, you can file Form 2290 at any time.
