Your tax due will be prorated based on the number of months the vehicle will have been used during the tax year. So vehicles that were placed in service during the month of January will need to file HVUT using the Form 2290 by February 28th, and the tax will be based on 6 months, instead of the full year.

Transferred Truck During Tax Year

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Santamarina Joseph - E-file form 2290, E-file HVUT, EIN, Employer Identification Number, Form 2290 Deadline, Form 2290 Online, heavy vehicle use tax, Transfer Form 2290

A common question our Support Team at ExpressTruckTax gets is how to handle the situation when a vehicle is transferred to another company during the tax year. Assuming the Form 2290 was filed and the tax was paid for the current year, you would need to file a new Form 2290 under the new business name and EIN. On the return, you will be able to claim the refund for the taxes that were paid under the previous business name and EIN. You will need to call the IRS directly and they will walk you through the process or you can have a service provider, like Truck Services of North America to do it for you.

NOTE: The Form 2290 must be filed no later than the end of the month following when the transfer took place. Example, if you formed a new business and the vehicles began operating under the new business name in February, your Form 2290 would have to be filed no later than March 31st. If you file after March 31st, the return will be considered late and you may incur penalty fees.

Although the HVUT, or the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax is imposed annually, it is also mandatory for vehicles to file the IRS Form 2290 after the first use month. The typical tax year for heavy vehicles begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. For vehicles that are first used anytime during the tax year, a prorated tax must be paid for the months that the vehicle was in use. This can be done with the IRS Form 2290 and the easiest way to file the 2290 is through ExpressTruckTax.com

When a new vehicle is placed in service, the Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the following month. The tax will be prorated based on the number of months the vehicle will have been used during the tax year. If a vehicle was used during any part of a month, the tax will be calculated for that month as a whole. For example, if a vehicle was used on January 28th, it will be taxed as though it was used the entire month, regardless of the fact it was only used for a couple of days. So vehicles that were placed in service during the month of January will need to file HVUT using the 2290 by February 28, and the tax will be based on 6 months, instead of the full year.

All you will need is:

some basic business information,
EIN,
VIN and
Gross Weight of the Vehicle to complete the return.

Then you will transmit the return to the IRS and you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 in just minutes!
