2290 Tax Late Filing Penalties

If you’re filing after the 2290 tax due date, you’ll need to pay a penalty of 4.5% of your total heavy use tax amount. This penalty will increase for up to 5 months.

If you filed your 2290 tax before the 2290 tax due date, but did not pay your 2290 highway use tax amount, you’ll face a penalty of 0.5% of your heavy use tax amount, plus additional interest of 0.54% per month.

Did you know? You may be able to avoid these heavy highway use tax penalties if you can show reasonable cause for late 2290 tax filing to the IRS.
