What is a 2290 Agricultural Vehicle?

An agricultural vehicle is a motor vehicle used exclusively for farming operations, including tractors, combines, farm trucks, and other machinery for producing crops, livestock, and agricultural products. These vehicles perform tasks such as plowing, planting, harvesting, and transporting farm produce and supplies.

They are not used for general transportation. An agricultural vehicle must be used exclusively for farming and driven less than 7,500 miles annually on public roads; otherwise, you will owe tax to the IRS.

The deadline to file Form 2290 for an agricultural vehicle is August 31st each year. However, if you first use the vehicle in a month other than July, you must file Form 2290 by the last day of the month following the month of first use.

Mileage Limitations for Agriculture Vehicles

For agricultural vehicles, the mileage limitation related to e-filing Form 2290 is 7,500 miles per year. This means if your agricultural vehicle travels 7,500 miles or less on public highways during the tax period, it is considered a suspended vehicle and is exempt from paying the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). However, you still need to file Form 2290 to report the vehicle, even if no tax is due.
