Updated as of June 23, 2011

The law that governs the annual tax imposed on the use of heavy highway vehicles (Form 2290) expires at the close of September 30, 2011. We have not published Form 2290 for the taxable period beginning July 1, 2011 and the form is not available at this time. As soon as we know when the form will be available, we will provide that information on this page. In the meantime, you can still pay your 2010 excise tax, get your 2011 tags and register your new or used vehicle.

My state posted this last week:

HVUT Filing for the July 2011 to June 2012 Tax Period- Under current Federal law, all Federal highway excise taxes will expire on September 30 2011. Congress has not passed a highway re authorization bill and it is not clear if a bill will be passed prior to the expiration of the current bill. It is likely that Congress will pass a temporary extension of the HVUT prior to its expiration. However, until the IRS has more information, it is delaying issuance of the Form 2290 for the upcoming tax year. The IRS expects to offer more guidance to states in the next couple of weeks. The potential expiration of the tax on September 30, 2011 has no bearing on taxpayers registering their vehicles in July-August or September 2011, as existing regulations allow the state to accept the Form 2290 Schedule One from the July 1 2010 to June 30, 2011 tax period. The IRS suggests you direct carriers to www.irs.gov/trucker for information including how to contact the IRS with specific questions.

 

I was doing my IFTA and typical other Quarterly filings and when I logged into WI's site to file,
I saw the disclaimer. I had no idea either until this AM....

 

Personally, I'm just gonna wait until the IRS accepts it. It won't be late either way.

But, whatever works for you is AOK too

 

IRS 2290 will be due Nov 30, 2011.
They will begin accepting returns Nov 1st, 2011.

However, Congress still has not extended the HVUT past 9/30/2011...so there are some scenarios that can play out...
