The International Registration Plan (IRP) provides trucks and other commercial vehicles the ability to travel between any of the 50 US states and the provinces of Canada. 

IRP registration and yearly IRP renewals are required for any commercial vehicle weighing more than 26,000 pounds and traveling between two or more jurisdictions.

So if you travel or plan to travel between jurisdictions you must have up-to-date IRP registration.

Upcoming registration IRP renewal deadlines

In many jurisdictions, you must apply for IRP renewal at least 30 days ahead of the deadline. Most jurisdictions will send you a reminder ahead of the deadline but if you do not receive a notification it is still your responsibility to apply on time.

What you need to renew IRP registration

In order to register or renew IRP with your base jurisdiction, you will need: 

  • Proof of business location in your base jurisdiction
  • Proof of Form 2290 payment in the form of a current Stamped Schedule 1

When is Form 2290 Due?

Posted on October 22, 2012 by - E-file IRS Form 2290, express truck tax, Form 2290, Form 2290 Deadline, heavy vehicle use tax, HVUT, IRP plates, Prorated 2290 tax, Schedule 1

When a new vehicle is placed in service, the Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the following month. 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 October 15th, it will be taxed as though it was used the entire month. If you first placed your vehicle on the road anytime in October, you can file your Form 2290 anytime between now and November 30, 2012.  

The tax 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 September will need to file HVUT using the Form 2290 by October 31, and the tax will be based on 10 months, instead of the full year. For vehicles first used in October, the tax will be based on 9 months and so on.

While the deadline is the last day of the following month, you may need to file your Form 2290 before the deadline in order to get or renew your IRP plates.  Many states require proof that your 2290 was filed before they will issue or renew your plates.
