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 30th, 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 1st, 2019 through June 30th, 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.
Tax filing for heavy vehicles is just
around the corner and it’s time for some pointers to be given to our customers.
While filing the taxes users normally don’t make any mistakes but if there is
anything where they can go wrong it’s typing the VIN number wrong. Yes, it’s
just a typo error but it does cost you for VIN correction and you end up paying
more. That’s not a case with truck dues, we offer free VIN correction for the
2290 tax returns originally filed through us.
So, let’s go with some basics. A VIN number
or Vehicle Identification number is a unique code which is 17 digits comprising
of Alpha-numeric characters to denote a specific vehicle. The VIN number is
never the same for two vehicles as it’s a unique code for each and every one. VIN
number will not have characters like “I,
O, Q”. Truck Dues website is designed in such a way that these special
characters when included on your Form 2290 the website will automatically throw
an error message. This is just a small measure to bring down the errors while
filling the Form 2290.
VIN number is need to report your vehicles
for tax returns and once done you will receive the Stamped watermark copy of
Schedule-1 to your registered email which is a proof of tax filing also used to
register your vehicle with the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle). SO make sure
you enter the VIN number correct while filing your returns.
But even if you enter the VIN number wrong
it’s alright the IRS has started very recently to accept VIN correction forms
through e-filing. This is the fastest and easiest way to get the correcting
done. Within 30 minutes of submitting the VIN correction forms you will receive
the corrected Schedule-1 copy to your registered email. Reporting VIN correction return with TruckDues.com is simple. Just login

The tax filing period is just a couple of
weeks away and it’s a good time to know about the basics for a better
understanding of Form 2290 tax filing. Generally the taxes are due by the month
of July and payable until the last day of August. Here are some of the basic
information that you need to know regarding the tax returns
So
what is a Form 2290 and what type of vehicles falls under taxable vehicle
category?
Form
2290 is used to report the heavy vehicle for tax
purposes. Any vehicle which has a Gross weight of 55,000 lbs or above and
operated on the highway it is liable for taxes. The Gross weight of the vehicle
is the sum of the tractor, load and the trailer. Depending on the gross weight
of the vehicle the tax amount varies accordingly.
What
are the options of filing the taxes?
There are two major types or medium of
filing taxes 1. Paper filing, 2. E-filing
The Paper filing is the conventional way of
filing your taxes, where the tax payers should report the vehicle by walking
directly into the IRS office and manually fill out the form and calculate the taxes,
which is a tedious process and chances of wrong calculation and data entry is
high.
E-filing is rather an easy option while
compared to paper filing. It’s easy, accurate and less time consuming work and
the turnaround time to receive a schedule-1 watermark copy with 30 min’s of
time. Here at truckdues.com you just need to key in the business details, sit
back and let the website do the math for you with the best technology and accurate
calculation, there is almost zero chances of error.
Are
there any tax exceptions?
Yes, there are
some exceptions. Based on the mileage of your vehicle, If your vehicle Mileage
is under 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) the vehicles are considered
to be tax exempted. You just have to report the vehicle under suspended
vehicles category for tax exemptions. However if your vehicle crosses the
mileage limit during the tax period you will be liable to pay taxes by filing
and amendment to evade penalties.
How are the taxes calculated?
As mentioned
before it’s based on the gross weight of the vehicle and also the First month
of use. If you have bought a vehicle in the mid of the tax year (1st
July to 30th June) the taxes will be calculated based on the first
month of use till June 30th along with the gross weight of the
vehicle, hence there is no need to pay for the whole year but pay for the
months used on road.
What is Schedule-1?
Upon successful filing of your tax return, The IRS will send a watermarked proof of filing. This will also serve as a valid proof while registering your vehicle with the local DMV (Dept. of Motor vehicle).
Filing period
Normally the tax
period is from 1st July to 30th June. The taxes are to be
paid for the whole year upfront before the last day of August. What if you can
file your taxes prior to the tax due date? Well truck dues has an option for
that as well. We allow our customers to pre-file the taxes by the month of June
and the data is sent to the IRS prior to July 1st. Once the IRS
starts to accept the tax returns by July you will receive the Schedule-1 copy
to your registered email ID by the first week of July. You just have to sit
back and relax till you get the schedule-1 copy while others run about during
the tax period to do their filings
