Enter the details about the vehicle. Hovering your mouse over the blue i symbol to the right of the field will provide information on what the field means.

• Vehicle Number, VIN, and Taxable Gross Weight are required.
  • If the Taxable Gross Weight is below 55,000, Form 2290 is not required.
• Vehicle Makes are manually entered into 2290Online.com.  To add Vehicle Makes, click the red plus paper icon to the right of the drop down menu.
• Disposition Date is only used if the vehicle has been sold, stolen, or destroyed.
• Last Reported Date is the last time the form 2290 was filed.  This if unsure, or it has not been filed for before, leave this blank
• Tax Status is whether or not the Form 2290 has been filed for this vehicle in the current tax year.  If you have yet to file Form 2290 for the 2020-2021 tax year, this should say Tax Not Paid.
• Logging and Agricultural Vehicles may have certain tax exemptions. These vehicles still need to be filed for, however, the tax may be reduced.

Once all necessary details of the vehicle are entered, click Save to store the unit, or Save & Add New to store the unit and add another one.

 

Continue this process until all vehicles have been entered.
