Are you required to file Form 2290 for your
vehicle? If it weighs 55,000 pounds or more, you must file Form
2290 annually to the IRS for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. Typically Form
2290 is due August 31st and is filed for the upcoming tax year. If a vehicle is
put on the road during the tax year, Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of
the following month.
If you put a vehicle of a qualifying weight
on the road in November the deadline to file Form 2290 would typically be
December 31st. December 31st falls on a Saturday this year and the IRS is
closed on Monday, January 2nd in observance of New Year’s so the deadline falls
on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023. It is especially important that you file before
then because the IRS e-filing system shuts down for maintenance on December
24th and it does not reopen again until sometime in mid-January.
If Form 2290 is filed during this shutdown
period it will sit on hold until the e-filing system is back up again and by
the time it is, your Form 2290 Online
for your vehicle with a First Used Month of November will be considered late.
Not only that but you would have to wait until then to get your Stamped
Schedule 1 which is obtained by filing Form 2290. The Stamped Schedule 1 is
required when you need to obtain the tags or registration of your vehicle.
In order to avoid late filing fees it is
important that you file before the IRS shuts down so that your Form 2290 does
not sit on hold unprocessed. Specifically, it is important that you file by
Friday, December 23rd, 2022. Precise2290
