Form 2290 is not included in TaxSlayer Pro, nor can it be timely
filed by attaching it to the business's income tax return.
See below for a listing of IRS-approved Form 2290 MeF providers.
IRS Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return is used to calculate the use tax for heavy highway vehicles such as tractor-trailer rigs, logging trucks, etc. The tax is based on vehicle weight, and the annual reporting period is from July 1 through June 30.
Form 2290 includes two copies of Schedule 1 listing the business's vehicles. Both copies accompany the return, and the IRS will stamp one copy and return it to the taxpayer as proof of payment for the taxpayer's state Department of Transportation (DOT).
The IRS notes that if the return is e-filed, the stamped copy of Schedule 1 can be available "within minutes". A business reporting and paying tax on 24 or fewer vehicles can file Form 2290 in paper form or electronically, however a business reporting and paying tax on 25 or more vehicles must electronically file the return.
