Extension of the due date for over the road Highway Tax

If you have a big rig or a bus and are required to file Form 2290 for highway taxes you got a reprieve.  Tax returns that would normally be due on August 31, 2011 will now be due November 30, 2011.  The current law is set to expire on September 30, 2011.  Although everyone expects that congress will renew the law there may be changes to the new law. 

In government speak changes to the law usually means an increase in the tax.  Those changes may be retroactive.  To prevent the need for amended filings the due date of the returns was extended.
