How Form 2290 tax works
How is the HVUT calculated?
Vehicles at 55,000 lbs taxable gross weight owe $100, plus $22 for each 1,000 lbs over 55,000, capped at $550 for 75,000 lbs and above. Logging vehicles pay reduced rates.
What if I started using the truck mid-year?
HVUT is prorated based on the first month the vehicle was used on public highways during the July–June tax period. The calculator handles this automatically.
What is a suspended vehicle?
A vehicle expected to travel 5,000 miles or fewer (7,500 for agricultural) in the period is 'suspended' (Category W). You still file Form 2290 to report it, but $0 tax is due.
