TaxZerone Reminder: Trucking Businesses Must File Form 2290 by September 2, 2025

With the deadline tomorrow, U.S. trucking businesses are urged to file their Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Return and secure Schedule 1 before penalties apply.

SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- U.S. trucking businesses are reminded that the deadline to file the Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, for the tax year July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, is Tuesday, September 2, 2025. Normally due on August 31, this year’s deadline has been extended to the next business day because August 31 falls on a Sunday.

Truckers’ current Schedule 1 is set to expire soon, making it critical to renew their filing before the deadline to avoid IRS penalties and interest. With the deadline tomorrow, trucking businesses, owner-operators, and tax professionals are urged to act promptly.

About Form 2290
Form 2290, the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, is an IRS filing requirement for trucks with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more that operate on public highways. The tax collected helps fund the maintenance and construction of the nation’s highway system.

Key points about Form 2290:

✔️ Truckers must file it annually for each taxable vehicle.
✔️ Once filed and accepted, truckers receive a watermarked Schedule 1, which serves as proof of payment and is required for vehicle registration and renewals with state DMVs.
✔️ Certain vehicles, such as those driven fewer than 5,000 miles annually (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles), may qualify for suspension of the tax but still require filing.
✔️ Filing late may result in penalties and interest charges from the IRS, in addition to delays in truck registration.

Affordable Pricing
Form 2290 e-filing is available at one of the most competitive rates in the industry. Pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees:

☑️ $19.99 for a single truck
☑️ $24.99 for two trucks
☑️ $29.99 for up to five trucks

This transparent pricing ensures that both individual owner-operators and fleet owners can file at an affordable cost without unexpected charges.

“Filing Form 2290 on time is not just about compliance; it’s about keeping trucks on the road without disruptions,” said Alexia Zepeda, a TaxZerone spokesperson. “We encourage all trucking businesses to file early, double-check vehicle information, and make use of tools that simplify the process. Whether you operate a single truck or a large fleet, timely filing protects your business from penalties and unnecessary delays.”
