Hello, truckers! IRS charges form 2290 truck taxes on a pro-rated or partial period basis for the heavy vehicles first used away from the tax period. Truckers with heavy vehicles that are put to use or with newly purchased any other month away from July must pay the heavy highway vehicle use tax on a pro-rated basis to the IRS. These pro-rated taxes are calculated based on the heavy vehicles or trucks’ first used month. Truckers must estimate the taxes, pay them within the deadline and get the IRS-stamped Schedule 1 copy as proof of payment. Without a proper Schedule 1 copy, you cannot operate your trucks on public highways, and you can’t register your newly purchased heavy vehicles.
