The filing season for Form 2290 is July 1 through June 30. You must file Form 2290 for the month you first use the taxable vehicle on public highways during the reporting period. August 31 is the last date to report and pay 2290 HVUT for the entire period without penalty.



If the vehicle is purchased after July then you have time till the end of the next month to file your form 2290 with the IRS. However, the first use month will be the month of the vehicle purchase.
