FHUT/VHUT?

The 2290 Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax is payable once per year by the vehicle owner. If your company is taking out the tax from your settlements you don't need to pay it again. The tax is $550/year and may be prorated from August. There is no need to pay someone or a service to pay the tax for you, either. You can go by any IRS office and pay the tax in person and get a stamped receipt while once you pay.

 

If your carrier is deducting the Heavy Highway Use Tax 2290 from your settlements then they also will have the paid copy you need to license the truck. Needed to license over 55,000 lbs. Also, whose name is on the title of the vehicle? Is it a lease purchase? There is a provision if the previous owner paid it as needed, the previous owner could actually transfer the paid tax to his new truck, thus making you pay it. If the previous owner has no other trucks, it should follow the vehicle, BUT you need the paid copy and some more Info to do that.

 

If you as the individual wants to pay it you have to have FEIN # that is because its considered a excise tax.
