For heavy vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more, form 2290 due date is by July 1st of every year. For newly purchased vehicles, form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use.

For example, if your vehicle was first used on a public highway during the month of July, then you need to file your form 2290 between July 1 and August 31.

If you want to pay tax for additional taxable trucks registered in your name for any month other than July, you must file separate 2290 forms for the months during which the vehicles were in service.

For example, if James purchases a new taxable vehicle on 3rd November 2021 and drives it home from the dealership on a public highway, then James has to register the truck in his name and file a separate form 2290 reporting this new vehicle on or before December 31, 2021 for the tax year 2021-22.
