Form 2290 for a Mack Anthem

The Mack Anthem is built for heavy over the road work, and it files the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax like any Class 8 tractor. Filing is fast once you have your weight category.

Does a Mack Anthem file Form 2290?

Yes. An Anthem pulling a loaded trailer is well over the 55,000 pound threshold, so it files Form 2290 for every tax period on public highways, whether it is spec'd as a sleeper or a day cab.

Which weight category applies

Taxable gross weight combines the tractor, the trailer it customarily pulls, and the maximum load. A loaded Anthem usually reaches the highest IRS weight category and its full annual tax. Use the finder below with your actual numbers to confirm the category before you file.

The same holds for the Mack Pinnacle, which many fleets run next to or instead of the Anthem for regional and heavy hauling. As a Class 8 tractor it crosses the 55,000 pound threshold once loaded and files Form 2290 exactly like the Anthem.

What to have ready

• An active EIN matched to your legal business name.
• Your Mack Anthem VIN.
• Your taxable gross weight category.
• The first used month for this period.
