The deadline for submitting Form 2290 is April 30th, which is only a few days away. Now is the time to submit your electronic filing.

Any heavy vehicle with a gross weight of less than 55,000 lbs must file a Form 2290, but the tax liability element is based on the number of miles driven. When the truck has traveled more than 5,000 miles for commercial use or 7,500 miles for agricultural use. When a vehicle does not exceed the desired mileage cap within a tax year, it is counted as excluded from paying HVUT taxes to the IRS. During checks and roadside inspections, however, the vehicle must be identified using Form 2290 to validate its exemption.

E-filing has been one of the digital revolutions, allowing taxpayers to safely register and pay their Federal Excise Tax Returns with the Internal Revenue Service. The main motivation for implementing E-filing is to make it easier for taxpayers to meet their tax deadlines. It frees them up from making appointments at the nearest IRS office and waiting a day for their turn to come before they hit the counter. The worst thing is that any last-minute changes are ignored, forcing you to restart from the beginning. Instead, sit back, relax, and e-file your Form 2290 in a matter of minutes at truckdues website.

Filing Taxes: An Overview

So let’s get started, first, you need to classify your vehicle based upon the category mentioned in the tabular column. If you are filing prorated taxes for your vehicle, then you need to calculate for the months your filing. Say, if October you took your vehicle on the highway for the first time, this November 30th is the last date to file your return depending upon the taxable weight. If your vehicle used only for logging and other forestry purpose, the tax rate would differ.

Also, if you are looking forward for an easiest method to get your taxes paid to IRS, you should try a hand with efiling form 2290 through an authentic and authorized online filing service provider: TruckDues.com.

However, if you are trying to take tax filing manually, you would land up spending lot of your time and energy, involving calculations to be done manually, and eventually, there would be errors to be corrected. In short, it is a messy work to be handled manually. Rather, efiling is the better option.

The best part about efiling is you don’t have to do anything manually other than logging in through your registered account and add in your details about your vehicle. Simply check on “Start A New Return”. Click on Heavy Vehicle Used Tax and fill in the details requested by the application. As you are typing, your info related to your vehicle, you will see your calculated taxes in the next slide in seconds. Also, add this point, the calculations done by our inbuilt application is the most accurate result, which will make you visit TruckDues.com.
