Claim a Refund if you have driven under the limit for Exemption!

Truckers, over this article we are going to discuss on how to go about claiming a refund on your vehicle if you realized that you have not driven it over the desired mileage limit for exemption. It is said by the Internal Revenue Service that the mileage limit for exemption remains to be 5000 miles or more for commercial based units and 7500 miles for Farming & Logging based units.

The Heavy Highway vehicle Used Tax Return HVUT Form 2290 is an annual tax paid to the Internal Revenue Service on vehicles which grosses over 55000 lbs or more and if the same vehicle is been used for its desired purpose. The Form 2290 is basically due by June and its payable until the end of August.

The Form 2290 needs to be filed for the upcoming 12 months hence one must be really sure about the mileage the truck is going to be used. If the truck will be used over the desired mileage lit for exemption, then you pay no taxes to the IRS. Only upon exceeding the desired mileage limit of exemption we have to pay the tax due amount to the IRS.

The Annual Heavy highway vehicle used tax return is due by June of every year and its payable until the end of August. However, the Federal law states that Form 2290 must be e-filed by the last day of the month following the month of its first use. On that basis the Form 2290 is now due by June 30^th, 2019 for vehicles first used since May 2019.

At this time, we would like to remind you about the Pre-filing your HVUT Form 2290 for the period beginning July 1^st, 2019 through June 30^th, 2020. By Pre-filing you’d be able to receive the IRS digital watermarked copy of schedule 1 back in your registered email address soon after the IRS begins processing 2019-2020 Form.

The Pro-rated HVUT Form 2290 is due by March 31, 2019.

Hello there truckers, Over this article we are going to discuss about the near –term HVUT Form 2290 deadline for vehicles that are into service since February 2019. The Federal law states that the Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of its first use. On that basis, March 31, 2019 happens to be the deadline for vehicles first used in February 2019.

Now before you are going to e-file your pro-rated Form 2290, you need to figure out whether your Truck is Taxable or Suspended. Basically there are 2 types of vehicles reported in the Form2290 as follows:

Taxable vehicle: If your truck would exceed 5000 miles for the Period beginning Feb 1^st, 2019 through June 30^th, 2019 then your truck is classified to be a Taxable vehicle, for which you are required to make a pro-rated tax due amount to the IRS for the above mentioned period. The tax amount varies among the gross weight of the vehicle.

Suspended vehicle: If your truck is expected to be used under 5000 miles for the Period beginning Feb 1^st, 2019 through June 30^th, 2019, then your truck is classified to be a Suspended vehicle, in other word an Exempt vehicle for which you’re not required to make any tax payment however, you need to report the vehicle over a Form 2290 under Suspended Vehicle to claim an exemption for the reported period.

Calculate the Taxable Gross Weight of your vehicle:

When we talk about the taxable gross weight, it includes the weight of the Tractor+ Trailer+ the maximum Load carried. Then enter the maximum carrying weight of the vehicle on our application during your E-Filing process so our inbuilt tax calculator would do the computation part by itself on your behalf.

The Government has temporarily recommenced operations after the longest shut down ever!

The U.S. government has re-opened temporarily after the longest shutdown in American history. The impact that the 35 days of the President Trump’s government shutdown has had on federal workers and beyond. This shutdown has adversely affected many tax payers either with quite a few tax forms were lined up for renewal namely, Federal tax Forms 2290, 720, International Fuel Tax Agreement & few more.

According to the statistics of the Congressional Budget Office, The recent government shutdown cost the economy $11 billion, including a permanent $3 billion loss. Although most of the damage to the economy will be reversed as the government reopens and workers return to their jobs, the CBO Congressional Budget Office (Federal agency) estimated $3 billion in economic activity is permanently lost.

Whilst this historical shutdown prevailed, many HVUT tax payers contacted us to know about the IRS recommencement to deal with their penalties, general inquiries and etc. Since www.truckdues.com serves to be an intermediate service provider for e-filing the Federal tax form 2290, our expertise is only towards the overall e-filing process and its sequential processes.

However, throughout this shutdown we had to manage many conventional paper filer’s questions due to major local IRS facilities & Courthouses shutdown besides the e-filing option was there as live option to File and pay the HVUT Form 2290 amidst the shutdown and e-filers were still been able to File, pay & Receive the IRS digital watermarked copies of Schedule 1 in their registered e-mail address.

However, we felt happy that we were considered to as a helpline for 2290 e-filing by many owner operators who had no option to schedule any appointments nor was able to contact the Internal Revenue Service regarding seeking assistance with their Heavy Vehicle Used tax Forms. We always feel much obliged to serve the ever hard working trucking community with their HVUT Tax Filing needs.

Creating an Account with Truckdues.com is really simple. Here’s How?

Federal law requires that you create an EIN for doing business as a truck owner. This fact is applicable even for truck owners who are apparently business owners by default. Federal law states that a tax payer must require an EIN before proceeding with few federal tax filings including the Form 2290, The Heavy Highway Used Tax Form.

You can apply for an EIN either by filing an SS-4 application or by logging on to the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/how-to-apply-for-an-ein.

Tips on Business Names:

When you complete the process to receive your EIN, and choose the type of business, you will also have the chance to choose a Doing Business As name, also referred to as a DBA name. While this name remains attached to the EIN, it is important to note that it is NOT the legal name of the entity.

Should you create an EIN as a sole proprietor, your name is the legal name of the entity. If you go through an incorporation process, the name on your papers of incorporation is the legal entity name. Be sure to use the legal entity name when filing tax forms, such as the heavy vehicle used tax form 2290.

Listing out your Business under the right category:

Most HVUT tax payer’s questions during creating their account with www.truckdues.com is

Under which category should I report my business?

I am an owner operator, I don’t own a business. What do I type in there on the business name section?

Types of businesses which basically encounters this scenario by far are as follows:

Sole Proprietor

Many owner/operators are sole proprietors. To be a sole proprietor, you do not have to do anything other than obtain your EIN. No paperwork, no legal fees to establish a legal entity, no stress over what type of business to be.

So why wouldn’t everyone do it this way? Sole proprietors remain personally liable for lawsuits files against their businesses. That means if you have an accident with a motorist, and they sue your business, in fact they are really suing you.

Also, sole proprietors pay taxes on the earnings from the business on their 1040, or personal tax form. You may find advantages in the other legal structures to minimize some of those taxes.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Yet another famous structure with owner/operators, the LLC creates a legal structure separate from the personal assets of the owner(s). LLCs also allow the debt from the business to be kept separate from personal obligations.

While that reduces the amount of stress you may have from fear of lawsuits or bankruptcy in your business harming your personal situation, the taxation remains similar to a sole proprietorship for a single owner. So the profit or losses of the business are the same as those of the owner.

In case if the LLC is formed by a group of partners, the taxation will resemble that of a partnership

Partnership

A partnership can be similar to either of the first two options above. You can enter into a partnership where each partner acts as a sole proprietor, or you can construct the partnership as an LLC.

Unless made under an LLC, a partnership does not provide relief from liability for lawsuits. The taxation of profits or losses goes on the 1040. Benefits of partnership include spreading some of the risk and combining the different skills of two or more owners to provide a better service or product to customers.

S Corporation:

An S corporation has shareholders. Like an LLC, an S corporation is an independent legal structure separate from the shareholders to separate personal assets from business assets. Owners must still report their income from the S corporation on their individual taxes, but in this case that eliminates the need to report them at the corporate level, preventing double taxation.

There are also certain requirements to qualify as an S corporation:

- Have only allowable shareholders.
- Have no more than 100 shareholders.
- Be a domestic corporation.
- Not be an ineligible corporation (i.e. certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations).

C Corporation:

A C corporation shares similarities with an S corporation, but has a few important differences. There is no limit to the number of shareholders. The corporation also pays tax on the corporate profits, while shareholders pay tax on dividends or capital appreciation, should they sell their stock at a profit. Shareholder also may not deduct a loss based on their ownership of stock in a corporation that posts a loss.
