Form 2290

What is Form 2290?

Form 2290 is a tax form used by owners or operators of heavy vehicles to file and pay the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax. This tax is imposed on vehicles with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more that use public highways. The tax revenue collected through Form 2290 is used for the construction and maintenance of highways.

What are the types of Form 2290?

There are two types of Form 2290: 1. Annual Form 2290: This form is filed once a year for vehicles that are expected to have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more and use public highways during the tax period. 2. Suspended Form 2290: This form is filed for vehicles that are expected to have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more, but will not use public highways for more than 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles) during the tax period. The suspended form helps in claiming an exemption from the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax.

Great software.
Great software. Only thing is that i wish the email could be modified to where i can get paperwork sent directly to it. The automated one we're given is way to complicated to remember so copy and paste it is. Other than that this is amazing software.
