How often is form 2290 due? And when is HVUT due?

A.

The  IRS form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes (HVUT) needs to be filed annually. The tax period starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the next year.

HVUT tax  is calculated based on the number of months used, and not for the full 12 months in advance. In other words, taxes are calculated on a pro-rata basis by taking into account the month of 'first use'.

For example, Chris purchased a new taxable vehicle on November 1, 2023. The vehicle is first used on public highways by driving it home from the dealership in November.
