If you are a the owner/operator for a commercial vehicle weighing greater than 55,000 lbs then you should know by now that the Highway Use Tax is due on September 3. This gives tax payers an additional 3 days to pay the tax. Normally it would have been due on August 31 but since that falls on a Saturday the IRS has allowed for an additional 3 day extension with no penalty.
The form to be used in this case is FORM 2290. Although tax payers have the option to manually fill out the form and mail it in, the IRS encourages tax payers to submit it electronically. Also, if you are reporting more than 25 vehicles at once it is mandatory that you do e-file.
