IRS Form 2290 also includes Stamped Schedule 1, which is used as proof of HVUT payment to register your vehicle in any state.

More On IRS Form 2290 Requirements
There are three different categories of HVUT rates. Vehicles under 55,000 pounds do not have to
e-file Form 2290 online or pay HVUT. Vehicles between 55,000 and 75,000 pounds owe $100, plus $22 for every 1,000 pounds over 55,000 pounds. Finally, for vehicles that are over 75,000 pounds, the maximum HVUT amount is $550 per year.
The gross taxable weight is calculated by adding the following:
Generally, the annual taxable period begins on July 1st of the current year and ends on June 30th of the following year. For vehicles that are in use at the beginning of the tax period, your Form 2290 deadline is usually August 31.
The due date for a partial period return depends on the month you first use your vehicle. If you place a new truck on the road during any month other than July, you are liable for HVUT on it, but only for the months it was in service. You must e-file Form 2290 online for these trucks by the last day of the month following the month the vehicle was first used on public highways.
