File Your Highway Use TaxThe Highway Use Tax - officially the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) - is a federal excise tax on motor vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more that operate on public highways in the United States. This tax is reported and paid using IRS Form 2290 and funds the Highway Trust Fund for road infrastructure.
If you own or operate qualifying heavy vehicles, you must file Form 2290 annually and pay the Highway Use Tax to receive your stamped Schedule 1 - the proof of payment required by most states for vehicle registration.
The rate increases by $22 per additional 1,000 pounds. Logging vehicles pay 75% of standard rates. Vehicles under 5,000 miles (7,500 agricultural) are suspended - $0 tax but must still file.
The tax period runs July 1 through June 30. Annual deadline: August 31. For vehicles first used after July, file by the last day of the month following the first-use month.
