Tax shown is the IRS Heavy Vehicle Use Tax only. Our filing fee is separate — see pricing.
Two things set the tax on each vehicle: its taxable gross weight category, and the month it was first used on a public highway during the July 1 – June 30 period. Vehicles in service in July pay the annual amount shown on the Form 2290 rate table. Vehicles first used later pay the IRS partial-period amount for the months left — see partial-period tax for trucks first used after July. Not sure of the category? Start with how weight categories work.
Every month you put new trucks on the road needs its own return. The Form 2290 due date calculator shows the deadline for each one.
By the vehicle's taxable gross weight category and the month it was first used in the July-to-June period. A vehicle first used in July pays the annual amount for its category; one first used later pays the amount in the IRS Partial-Period Tax Table for the months left. Logging vehicles use a reduced table.
$550.00 for a full period, category V (over 75,000 lb). A logging vehicle in category V pays $412.50.
No. A vehicle expected to be used 5,000 miles or less (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) is reported as category W with no tax, but it must still be listed on the return and on Schedule 1.
The tax uses the same IRS tables the filing uses. The total on your return also reflects any credits you claim; our service fee is separate and shown on the pricing page.
