Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Form 2290 may face delays for the 2011/2012 annual filing season because the IRS has not published the final return and is not accepting paper or e-filings yet. Extension of the tax legislation is pending in Congress, so new law is required before the IRS can collect the full-year tax. A back-up approach allows a three-month tax submission by August 31, and updates are provided via 2290Tax.com.

Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax – Form 2290 Expect 2011-2012 Filing Delays There may be some delays in the opening of the 2011/2012 Annual filing season for Form 2290. The IRS has not yet published the final 2011/2012 Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, nor are they accepting paper or e-filings at this time. At an IRS industry meeting in Washington DC last week, we learned that the extension of this tax legislation is tied up in Congress. New legislation must be passed before the IRS can collect the 2011/2012 Form 2290 tax for an entire year. Some of you may recall a similar delay with income taxes this past year. It wasn’t until late in December that Congress finalized the tax laws. Only then could computers be programmed to calculate and collect the correct tax. We expect a similar delay with respect to Form 2290 this year. Congress has bigger issues on its plate right now and may not act quickly enough to restore a normal annual tax filing. The IRS will wait as long as possible so that a single tax return is all that will be necessary for the 2011/2012 tax year. However, a back-up plan is in place so that a 3-month tax (July, August and September) can be collected by the August 31st filing deadline. When new legislation is passed, it will determine what happens for the remainder of the 2011/2012 tax year.
