EIN Is REQUIRED to File Form 2290

Posted on January 14, 2013 by - E-file form 2290, EIN, Employer Identification Number, Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, Form 2290 Deadline, Form 2290 Online, HVUT, Schedule 1, Trucker help

If you are filing Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), you must have an EIN to file the return. The IRS will no longer accept Social Security Numbers for the Form 2290. An EIN is an Employer Identification Number, also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, and can be used to verify a business entity.

If you do not have an EIN, you can apply for one online through the IRS website or if you don’t have the time or unable to get to a computer, you can have a service provider, like Truck Services of North America to do it for you.

NOTE: Remember, for vehicles first used in December, the due date to file your Form 2290 is January 31, 2013. While you can get your EIN immediately, it can take the IRS up to 10 business days to update new EINs into their system; so you will want to get your EIN today to ensure it is in the system by the deadline!

Once your EIN is in the IRS system or if you already have one, you can file your Form 2290 return and receive your Stamped Schedule 1 within minutes at ExpressTruckTax. To E-File Form 2290 online now, go to ExpressTruckTax.com or contact our Express Tax Support Center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.  We have Spanish Support too!

E-File Form 2290 For Vehicles First Used In December

Posted on January 3, 2013 by - E-file form 2290, Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, Form 2290 Deadline, Form 2290 Online, form 2290 spanish support, HVUT, IRS form 2290, vehicles first used in December

You can quickly and easily E-File Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax at ExpressTruckTax.com.  When a new vehicle is placed in service, the Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the following month. If a vehicle was used during any part of a month, the tax will be calculated for that month as a whole. So even if you placed your vehicle on the road December 29th, it will be taxed as though it was used the entire month. For vehicles placed on the road anytime in during the month of December, you can file your Form 2290 anytime between now and January 31, 2013.  

The tax will be prorated based on the number of months the vehicle will have been used during the tax year. So vehicles that were placed in service during the month of December will need to file HVUT using the Form 2290 by January 31, and the tax will be based on 7 months, instead of the full year.

While the deadline is the last day of the following month, you may need to file your Form 2290 before the deadline in order to get or renew your IRP plates.  Many states require proof that your 2290 was filed before they will issue or renew your plates.

ExpressTruckTax.com allows you to fill out your IRS Form 2290 online and send it to the IRS electronically! This way you can get a stamped schedule 1 in about 10 minutes. Express Truck Tax is authorized by the IRS to E-File Form 2290. The taxpayer will then receive the Schedule 1 via email or fax as soon as the IRS processes the form. The form will then be watermarked by the IRS instead of an actual physical stamp. Be sure to get this filed today to avoid possible IRS penalties.
