La presentación de la Forma 2290 se realiza cuando su vehículo pesa más de 55,000 libras. Si su vehículo viaja menos de 5,000 millas al año ó 7,500 millas si se usa para fines agrícolas, aún debe presentar el Formulario 2290 pero no tiene que pagar el impuesto porque su vehículo se considera suspendido/exento.

¿Qué es un primer mes de uso?

Las palabras “primer mes uso” aparecerán varias veces en ExpressTruckTax y cuando presente su Forma 2290. ¿Qué significa?

El año fiscal de la Forma 2290 es del 1 de Julio al 30 de Junio del año siguiente. Si un camión se ha puesto en circulación por primera vez en medio de un año fiscal, entonces el mes en que puso el camión en la carretera será su primer mes usado. Sin embargo, si su camión ha estado en la carretera por más tiempo, su primer mes usado será Julio. Su primer mes de uso y el peso de su vehículo es lo que determina cuánto será su Impuesto sobre el Uso de Vehículos Pesados (HVUT) una vez que presente su Forma 2290.

If You First Used A Truck In August, the Deadline To File Form 2290 Is Almost Here!

Posted on September 29, 2021 by - First Used month, Form 2290 E-file, stamped Schedule 1

Did you get a new truck in August? Was August the first time you started driving a new truck? 

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you need to file Form 2290 with the new vehicle’s VIN by September 30th.

Even though you’re still getting used to your new truck, it’s important that you remember to file the Form 2290 for it before the deadline to ensure it has a valid stamped Schedule 1 and to avoid late penalties issued by the IRS!

What does ‘First Used Month’ mean?

The First Used Month (FUM) refers to the first month the truck was used on a public road during the current tax year. The Form 2290 and HVUT payment are always due at the end of the following month after the vehicle was first used. 

The chart below shows what your filing deadline will be based on the First Used Month of your truck:

What happens if it’s late? 

If your Form 2290 is filed after the deadline, the IRS will issue hefty penalties that will incur until it is filed and paid. 

If you do not file the Form 2290 before September 30th, you will be issued these penalties, plus additional interest from the IRS. The penalty for late filing will be equal to 4.5% of your owed tax amount and will incur every month it is late.

Please note that, even if you are unable to make the HVUT payment at this time, it is important to at least file before the deadline. The penalties won’t be as great if, at least, the Form 2290 is filed on time.
