Know the Basics of 2290 Tax Deadline and Filing Methods!

New to the trucking business or are you in the process of adding a truck to your fleet? Well it’s about time you registered the vehicle and got the tags done. But before you could get your license plates you need to file a HVUT Form 2290 tax return and get the schedule-1 copy. This schedule-1 copy needs to be submitted to the DMV for registration purposes.

A common question which arises among the new truck operators is “Should I pay the taxes in full for the year?” Not necessarily you can file the taxes under Pro-rated basis. Meaning you can repot the vehicle from the first month of use.

Now what does the IRS says about the pro-rated filing and what’s the maximum time that you get to file the taxes for new trucks. Well its simple “the taxes can be paid until the last day of the following month from the first month of its use”.

For example, if you would have purchased a truck by October 1st, 2019 the due date to pay the taxes would be November 30th, 2019. So basically you get 60 days’ time to file a return and pay the taxes. The taxes paid will be valid until June 30th, 2020 and again up for renewal by the July 1st, 2020. So do you have a new truck which needs to be put on road? File your form 2290 and get the schedule-1 copy instantly and hit the roads.

So don’t be confused on comparing this pro-rated deadline versus the annual renewals which are generally due by June & payable until August of every year. Should you have more questions regarding the HVUT Form 2290, feel free to contact our customer support team @ (347) 515-2290 for any further assistance.

E-File your Pro-rated HVUT Form 2290 before this Thanksgiving Holiday!

Truckers, we got to remind you about the upcoming HVUT tax deadline by November 30, 2019 for vehicles first used since October 2018. This deadline has been drafted based on the Federal Law that indicates that the Form 2290 needs to be filed by the last day of the month following the month of its first use.

This deadline is considered to be applicable for vehicles that are purchased/re-purchased or in use since October 2019. This deadline does not have any impact over regular annual renewals done in July & August of every year.

The Heavy Highway vehicle used taxes are generally paid on vehicles with a minimum taxable gross weight of 55000 lbs or more and if the subjected vehicle is used on the public highways for commercial & agricultural purposes.

Unlike your 1040’s the Form 2290’s are always been filed and paid upfront for the upcoming period. Hence, one must be sure of the fact if the truck would exceed the desired mileage limit for exemption to pay the tax dues full in advance whereas if the truck might under run the said limit to claim a complete exemption from paying taxes to the IRS.

Under Whose name must the Form 2290 be Filed?

Truckers, almost on a daily basis we face this question from our HVUT tax payers that on most cases they’d have the vehicles leased on a company who might insist on getting the 2290’s been filed under their business name and many operators are left behind with no options else than facing problems during the vehicle registration purposes due to the absence of an Employer Identification Number.

At times, the chances of overpaying the taxes occurs due to the reason that the owner operator might fluctuate in picking up a new company upon cease of the lease agreement with the present employer due to various reasons.

The Federal law indicates that the owner of the vehicle in accordance to the truck tile is liable to e-file the HVUT Form 2290. Having said that, an EIN is required in the first place before reporting the truck on the Form 2290 electronically. Besides, Usage of an SSN might lead to rejection of your tax return.

Hence, we urge the trucking community to choose the right business name under which the tax return needs to be e-filed to avoid such last moment mishaps. If you still not sure, you may feel free to contact the IRS 2290 e-file help-desk @ (866) 699-4096 before e-filing your HVUT Form 2290.

Lace up! You’ve got miles to run! The Race isn’t over yet!

Truckers, now it’s about time to join the HVUT Form 2290 Pre-filing race for the period July 2019 through June 2020. Now Lace up & get going; never let procrastination take over you since it could cost your truck registration.

Fellow truckers it’s time to prepare to file your taxes and hit the road. The tax filing season starts by 1st July and Hope you’ve got everything prepared. If not we are here to assist you. There are certain things to remember to do a perfect tax filing. So here are some seeds of wisdom to keep in mind while filing you tax returns

What is Form 2290? For all the first time filers this is the form that is used to report you heavy vehicle and pay the taxes. On submission of this form you would receive a watermarked Schedule-1 stamp copy which would serve as proof of filing as well as a proof to report your Vehicle to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) for new trucks as well as renewal of your old trucks

All you need to have is the VIN number a valid EIN number (more than 15 days since applied) and you good to go. These two things are to be entered correctly to avoid rejections or corrections which would incur you to spend more

How to determine whether you vehicle is taxable? Well do you have a heavy vehicle and have plans to operate over 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) and the total Gross weight (Sum of Tractor, load and trailer weights) is 55,000 lbs or more? Then your vehicle is subjected to Federal taxes. The taxes are paid in advance for the whole year. Any heavy vehicles under the above mentioned are considered to be “Suspended Vehicles” meaning it’s exempt from taxes.

VIN Number: The VIN number or The Vehicle Identification Number is a unique code given to every vehicle which is of 17 Digit Alpha- Numeric characters. No two VIN numbers for any vehicles are of same. This is used to identify a specific vehicle in case of tax reporting or theft of vehicle.

The VIN number doesn’t contain the Characters such as “I, O & Q” in it. So while filing your tax returns make sure you keep this in mind. Else you might have to correct the form right away to evade tax penalties.

And the most common step which some users fail to do it transmit the return to the IRS. Users normally file the tax returns pay the service free and move till the payment conformation page. But you have to go all the way till the last page after service fee payment where you could see a Red Box saying “Transmit to IRS”. Click that red button and your returns will be transmitted instantly and you will receive the Schedule-1 copy with stamped water mark on it indicating the filing was done successfully to your registered email within 30 minutes

So these are all the small things that you need to be aware of while filing your tax returns. So why wait you also have an option to pre-file your tax returns by June and receive the Schedule-1 copy by the first week of July. Stay ahead of all the 3.5 million truckers across the nation.

It’s the last week to Pre-file your Form 2290 for 2019-2020!

Truckers, it’s the last week to join the Pre-filing race for the Period beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30th, 2020. Most HVUT payers have made use of this pre-filing opportunity and have Pre-filed their Form 2290 for the Period July 1st, 2019 through June 30th, 2020. Hence, now they do not want to wait until the mid of July before receiving the stamped confirmation back in your e-mail like the last moment e-filers.

The Pre-filed tax returns basically holds a priority within it by default when compared to a regular Form 2290. The IRS online servers would always process tax returns based on First Come First Served Basis. Hence, the Pre-filed tax return reaches the IRS servers sooner than the other tax returns hence in turn receives an expedited amongst other regularly filed tax returns.

Every year, there will be millions of tax returns recorded filed during the high time of HVUT Form 2290 renewal (during July & August). This is the prime time for 80% of the HVUT group to E-File their HVUT Form 2290’s hence the probability of obtaining a priority over your non pre-filed tax return might happen in a ratio of 10000: 1 unless if it was pre-filed before June.

While e-filing your HVUT Form 2290, be sure to use your Employer Identification Number over a Social Security Number since the IRS e-file servers will validate e-filed tax returns with EIN but not SSN. Having said that the EIN you tend to use must be at least 15 business days older before its usage over e-filing application.
