Blog / Mastering IRS 2290 Payments: Deadlines, Payment Options & Easy Tips

If you're a trucker who operates vehicles that weigh five thousand pounds or greater, then you're likely familiar with the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, understanding what to file is only one element of the problem. Knowing the best time and method to pay, as well as some insider secrets will help you avoid charges, confusion, and late charges. We are at Simple 2290, we have a goal to help you file your paperwork quickly, and free of stress. This is your ultimate guide to all you must know about paying the tax of 2290. 

The tax year for Form 2290 runs from July 1 to June 30. The annual tax filing deadline for vehicles used for the first time in July is August 31. If you've put your truck that was not previously on the roads during the year, you have to submit your application by the end of the month that follows the month in which you first started using it.

Examples:

First use in July → Due by August 31

First use in October → Due by November 30

The Form 2290 tax can be paid in several ways. Depending on your choices.

1. Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW): With e-filing, you can make quick and automatic payments straight from your bank account.

2. Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS):  Requires an account with the IRS. Great for businesses already enrolled, but setup can take time.

3. Credit or Debit Card:  Pay online using a third-party payment processor.

Use an e-filing service (like Simple 2290) to get your stamped Schedule 1 in minutes.

Set calendar reminders for key due dates, especially if you add new vehicles mid-year.

Double-check your EIN before filing. The IRS will reject your return if your EIN doesn’t match their records.
