So truckers, how is the week treating you? Well, we have an announcement to make. If you have bought you vehicle for the first time on road in the month of September, you are liable to pay your prorated taxes by the end of October, which is not too far from our calendars. Just one more day, and the due date would end. So hurry up filers, come over and file your prorated tax with TruckDues.com.
Usually, the tax season due date falls on July 1st of the calendar year and ends by August 31st of the same year. If the due date falls on the weekend or a public holiday, the due date is extended to the next business day.
What Happens If You Miss Filing HVUT By The Due Date?
Well, there are few consequences faced by the taxpayer for not filing HVUT on time. Among them, paying penalties and interest are the most frequent.
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.
Therefore, if you do not file your 2290 return on time, you will be liable to pay taxes with penalty and interests, which costs you around 5% of your total tax due. It is advisable to file your tax return on time to stay away from IRS audits.
