If filing for the whole tax year then select July month as the first use month otherwise select the month in which the vehicle(s) were first used. Please note that all vehicles with the same first use month should be clubbed into one form 2290. If there are vehicles with different first used month then file another form 2290.

Taxes are calculated based on the first use month and the gross weight of the vehicle. If the first use month of filing is different than July then the system automatically prorates the tax amount accordingly and the taxes are calculated only for the period the vehicle is operated.

5. Enter vehicle details: Precise2290 handles the filing of Taxable, Tax-suspended, and Credit vehicles in a step-by-step process and calculates the total HVUT for the taxable vehicles and adjusts the credit amount for the credit vehicles while keeping the tax amount to zero for tax-suspended vehicles. If the credit amount is more than the tax amount owed then the system automatically files form 8849 – Schedule 6(Other Claims) for the balance amount.

6. Enter IRS payment details: While filing HVUT Form 2290, you can pay the HVUT to IRS through any of the four options:

• Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) – Provide the Checking/Saving account information and the IRS system directly debits the tax amount from the bank account. This is the most widely used option and there is no service charge for this option

• Check/Money Order – If you select this option to pay the HVUT then the voucher will be automatically generated and this can be mailed to the IRS along with the check/money order

•  Debit/Credit Card Payment– if you select this payment option to pay the HVUT then the instructions will be provided to go to the IRS site to make the HVUT payment.  However, there is a service charge that the credit card payment processing vendor will charge when you use this option
