So Who Needs To File Form 2290 2015-16 With TruckDues?

So if your vehicle weigh more than 55,000 pounds and is likely to cross 5,000 miles during the taxation year 2015-16, you’re required to file form 2290. However, if your vehicle does not cover the standardized weight and miles, your vehicle is counted as suspended vehicle. Now, that does not mean you don’t have to pay taxes to IRS. You are requested to file form 2290 before the due date and keep IRS informed about your suspension. There are other types of vehicle as well, that includes logging and exempted vehicles.

Logging vehicles are those, which are used in the forestry area to transport logs and other important material to the city using the highway. These vehicles are required to file form 2290; however, the tax paid by these vehicles is minimal compared to taxable vehicles.

What Happens If You Don’t File By The Due Date?

Penalties:

The total penalty for not filing by August 2014 will be 4.5% of the total tax due. This penalty is added up for 5 months.

For instance, if your total tax due is $250, then penalty will be $250X4.5%= $11.25

So total tax due with penalty will be $261.25

Interest:

Apart from penalties, the IRS charges monthly interest for the total tax due which is 0.5 of the total tax due.

If you want to avoid penalties, you can e-file before the due date or you have to file with penalties and interest, which will cost you around 5% of the total tax due. It is advisable to file your tax return on time to stay away from IRS audits.

How Can You E-file With TruckDues.com?
