Form 2290 for Dump trucks in New York
A typical dump truck registers around 64,000 lbs, putting its 2026–2027 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax at about $298. The 2290 requirement starts at 55,000 lbs taxable gross weight — many dump trucks are over it, some aren't, so the registered weight on your New York registration decides.
Does your dump truck owe HVUT?
The test is registered taxable gross weight, not vehicle category: 55,000 lbs and up files Form 2290. A heavy dump truck registered at 64,000 lbs owes $298 for the full year. Check the weight on your cab card — that's the number the IRS cares about.

Filing it from New York
E-file with your EIN, the VIN, and the weight category; the watermarked Schedule 1 arrives in minutes and is what New York requires at registration. Low-mileage dump trucks (under 5,000 miles, 7,500 agricultural) file as suspended for $0 but still get the Schedule 1.
