There are three ways to pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Form 2290: 1. Direct Debit/EFW allows the IRS to directly debit your bank account but your return must be filed on a business day. 2. EFTPS is a free online/phone system provided by the Treasury Dept to pay taxes but requires registration 5-7 days prior and payment at least one day before the due date. 3. Check or money order can be used if needing documentation on the weekend but requires mailing the completed payment voucher with payment to the IRS in Cincinnati.
