Attention truckers! This message is for all truckers and trucking taxpayers who first used or newly purchased heavy highway vehicles or trucks in February. It’s time to report your Form 2290 HVUT returns to the IRS and get the Schedule 1 Receipt to continue operating your trucks on public highways smoothly. As per IRS regulations, you don’t have to pay for the entire tax period. You have to estimate your tax returns on a pro-rated basis based on the vehicle’s first used month until the end of the ongoing tax period. The last date to report your pro-rated tax or partial period tax returns is the end of the following month of the heavy vehicle’s first used month. Therefore, in this case, you have to estimate your pro-rated 2290 returns from February to June 2024 and report the taxes on or before April 1, 2024. Since the designated deadline of March 31, 2024, falls on Sunday, the deadline moves to the next business day, April 1, 2024. So, truckers with February used heavy vehicles must report Form 2290 on a pro-rated basis and get the IRS Schedule 1 Receipt before the deadline to comply with the law.
