Every trucker who drives a vehicle weighing over 55,000 pounds on the public highway must file Form 2290 with the IRS and pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax annually. It's mandatory, and you can't force it silently into the following month.
EasyForm2290 gives your trucking company a faster, cleaner way to stay on top of 2290 for every vehicle in your fleet, year after year.
Stop entering trucks one by one. Upload your entire fleet at once and let the system take it from there. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
At a glance, you can see the filing status of all your vehicles. You don't have to spend time going through loads of spreadsheets to find out what's been done, what's yet to be done, and what really needs your attention.
Each vehicle is taxed based on its gross weight. Our system runs the numbers for every truck in your fleet automatically, no manual math, no second-guessing.
Added a truck to the fleet in October? We automatically calculate the prorated HVUT based on how many months are left in the tax period. You don't have to figure it out yourself.
Your business and vehicle information is stored securely. When it's time to refile next year, most of the work is already done for you.
Entered a VIN incorrectly? Fix it at no extra charge. Every truck's record stays accurate and compliant without costing you anything extra.

A lot of trucking companies assume that if a truck doesn't owe HVUT, they don't need to file anything. That's not how the IRS sees it.
Even when a vehicle is considered suspended because it is driven less than 5,000 miles per annum, you still need to file Form 2290 for that vehicle showing it as suspended. If you decide not to file, you will technically be non-compliant even if no tax is due.
And if one of those low-mileage trucks ends up going over the threshold before the tax year ends, you'll need to file an amended return and pay the HVUT for the remaining months. EasyForm2290 makes that amendment process quick and straightforward.
If a truck in your fleet is sold, stolen, or destroyed mid-year, you can claim back a prorated portion of the HVUT you already paid using Form 8849 Schedule 6, also available directly through our platform.
VIN errors can delay IRS acceptance and vehicle registration.
Incorrect weight categories can result in underpayment or overpayment of HVUT.
Newly added vehicles must be reported and taxed using prorated calculations.
The IRS requires an EIN for Form 2290 filings.
Filing Form 2290 does not eliminate the requirement to pay the associated HVUT.
Every truck in your fleet needs a valid, IRS-stamped Schedule 1 to stay registered and on the road. EasyForm2290 makes it easy to get there, for one truck or for your entire operation.
