Form 2290 e-file — because your plates are waiting on that Schedule 1

The heavy vehicle use tax filing has one deliverable that matters: the IRS-stamped Schedule 1. No Schedule 1, no apportioned plates, no running. We e-file through an IRS-authorized provider and get it back to you typically the same day the IRS accepts.

The tax itself — calculate yours free — goes to the IRS and is the same everywhere. Our fee is $49, next to it, labeled.

Stamped Schedule 1 typically same day once the IRS accepts.

How it works

  1. 1

    VINs, weights, first-use month

    That's the intake. We validate VINs and check your EIN's age — the silent 2290 killer for new companies.

  2. 2

    E-filed through an IRS-authorized provider

    Form 2290 must be transmitted by an IRS-authorized e-file provider — we handle it end to end and show the tax and our fee separately at checkout.

  3. 3

    Stamped Schedule 1 to your inbox and vault

    Typically same-day on IRS acceptance. Forward it to your IRP office or pull it from the vault at plate time — it's never lost in an email thread again.

Straight answers

When is Form 2290 due?

August 31 for vehicles on the road in July (the tax year runs July 1–June 30). Put a truck in service later in the year and the deadline is the last day of the month after its first-use month, with the tax prorated.

How do I get my stamped Schedule 1?

E-file and the IRS returns the stamped Schedule 1 electronically — typically the same day the return is accepted. That document is your proof of payment, and your state requires it for IRP (apportioned) plates.

How much tax will I owe?

Between $100 and $550 per truck per year depending on taxable gross weight — it's a fixed IRS table nobody can discount. Our free calculator gives your exact number, including logging rates and low-mileage suspension.

Why was my 2290 rejected with a brand-new EIN?

The IRS e-file system can't see EINs issued in roughly the last two weeks. New company, new EIN, instant rejection — it's a timing issue, not an error. We check EIN age up front and schedule the retry so your plates aren't hostage to it.
