File Form 2290 in Virginia – HVUT for Old Dominion Freight
IRS Form 2290 is the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) Return required for vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. Whether you're looking to file 2290 online in Virginia for a single truck or managing fleet 2290 filing, Virginia 2290 makes 2290 tax filing fast and simple.
After You File: Heavy-Truck Compliance in Virginia
Your stamped Schedule 1 is the federal piece. Here is how it fits with what Virginia itself requires for trucks of 55,000 lbs or more — with a link to the official VA source for each step.
- 1
Register or renew with Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Motor Carrier Services (IRP apportioned registration)
Virginia DMV's Motor Carrier Services handles IRP apportioned registration and also registers heavy trucks that run only in Virginia. Any Virginia-registered vehicle at 55,000 lb or more needs HVUT proof. DMV must get that proof when you apply or renew, or within 90 days after. It accepts the IRS-receipted or stamped Schedule 1, or a signed and dated Form 2290 with the cancelled check (front and back) or EFT receipt. Proof is not required if a bill of sale shows the vehicle was acquired in the 60 days before the application. On supplemental IRP applications, each vehicle at 55,000 lb or more needs a stamped or e-filed 2290 attached.

IFTA fuel-tax licensing
If you run interstate, Virginia IFTA licenses and decals come from Virginia DMV, Motor Carrier Services (IFTA licensing and quarterly returns). IFTA is quarterly fuel tax — separate from the annual HVUT.

Oversize / overweight permits
Permits for loads over legal size or weight in Virginia are issued by Virginia DMV Hauling Permit Office, through EZ Haul (the Virginia Automated Hauling Permit System, run with VDOT).

Other Virginia rules truck owners run into
- For-hire intrastate operating authority
For-hire carriers hauling property or passengers point to point inside Virginia need Virginia For-Hire Intrastate Operating Authority and for-hire plates. Carriers running only vehicles of 10,000 lb GVWR or less are exempt, and IRP plates don't replace this authority.
Official source: dmv.virginia.gov - 60-day bill-of-sale window and 90-day proof window
Virginia DMV accepts proof of HVUT up to 90 days after registration and skips the proof entirely when a bill of sale shows the truck was bought in the previous 60 days. The 2290 itself is still due by the end of the month after first use.
Official source: dmv.virginia.gov - 5% overload permit
Virginia sells an annual 5% overload permit. Non-apportioned vehicles can get or renew it online, and apportioned vehicles get it through a separate DMV channel.

Form 2290 points that matter most in Virginia
- ✓Virginia DMV accepts an EFT receipt with a signed 2290 as proof, so carriers who pay electronically have a fallback while their stamped Schedule 1 is pending.
- ✓Low-mileage trucks (under 5,000 miles) and farm trucks (under 7,500 miles) owe no HVUT but must still file and list the vehicle as suspended to get a Schedule 1 for Virginia registration.
- ✓Because DMV can collect HVUT proof up to 90 days after registration, carriers who register first can face a follow-up request if they never file the 2290.
