The IRS has officially resumed operations following the year-end shutdown, and Form 2290 filings are now being accepted and processed within minutes. At Tax2290.com, we want to remind truckers and fleet owners that important filing deadlines are approaching for vehicles first used in December 2025.
If you placed a heavy vehicle into service during December, you must file a pro-rated Form 2290 and obtain a valid Schedule 1 by February 2, 2026. This extended deadline applies because December 31 falls on a weekend. Filing on time is critical for staying compliant and avoiding delays with vehicle registration or renewals.
In addition to Form 2290, many truckers are also required to meet their IFTA filing obligations for the 4th quarter of 2025 by February 2, 2026. Ensuring both your HVUT and IFTA filings are completed accurately and on time helps prevent compliance gaps and unnecessary complications at the start of the year.
With IRS systems back online, e-file and receive your IRS digitally watermarked Schedule 1 quickly. Tax2290.com is here to help you manage both Form 2290 and IFTA-related filings efficiently, so you can stay focused on the road ahead.

trucking industry to create more jobs and strengthen our transportation system
by monitoring and improving highway safety.
The Clearinghouse is a secure online database that will
give employers, FMCSA, State Driver Licensing Agencies, and State
law enforcement personnel real-time information about CDL driver drug and
