Form 2290 is the form that is been used to File & Pay the Heavy Highway vehicle Used tax also abbreviated to be HVUT which is a federal tax that is due annually and payments are made to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Finally, for vehicles that are over 75,000 pounds the maximum HVUT is $550 per year.
