Form 2290 E-File Extended Customer Support Hours
No need to panic if you missed the August 31, 2012 deadline for filing your Form 2290 Return for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. Due to the Labor Day scheduled IRS maintenance, the IRS Form has extended the E-Filing deadline until Friday, September 7, 2012. With the deadline extension, it is still possible to file on time, but you must E-File this form, as the deadline for paper returns was August 31st.
You can file online through ExpressTruckTax.com and we have extended our customer support hours from 8AM-11.30PM EST this week to assist the last minute filers, who may be unfamiliar with the E-Filing process. Our friendly customer support team is there to answer any questions you may have along the way.
Our User-Friendly and Intuitive program makes it incredibly simple for anyone to E-File their 2290 return online. All you need is some basic business information, EIN, VIN and Gross Weight of the Vehicle to send your return to the IRS and you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 in just minutes!
Although the deadline has been extended until Friday, we encourage you to get your returns filed now. If you have any questions, please contact us at our US based customer support center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 during our extended customer support hours of 8AM-11.30PM EST or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.
IRS Labor Day Planned Maintenance Outage
The IRS shut down many of its services at 1PM EST on Friday, August 31, 2012 and will remain down until Tuesday, September 4, 2012 for a planned maintenance and upgrading an electrical system.
Some of the services that will be affected by the temporary outage are:
- Toll-Free Services
- Employee Identification Numbers
- Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)
- E-Filing Services
For specific details on which IRS departments and services will be unavailable, go to www.irs.gov/uac/Available-IRS-Services-during-the-Labor-Day-Planned-Maintenance-Outage.
August 31, 2012 marked the Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Deadline. If you were mailing in your return, it had to be postmarked by Friday, August 31, 2012 in order to meet the deadline. If you did not get your return filed on time, the IRS has extended the E-Filing Form 2290 deadline until Friday, September 7, 2012. So you can still file your return to meet the extended E-File Deadline.
Simply go to ExpressTruckTax.com to set up your account. You will be prompted to enter your business details, including EIN, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and Gross Weight of the Vehicle (Combined with maximum load). You will be able to choose your IRS payment option, either Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFT), Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or Check/Money Order. Once the return is complete you will be prompted to transmit the return.
Normally you receive your Schedule 1 within minutes, but due to the IRS Maintenance, you will not receive your Schedule 1 until after the IRS resumes normal business activity after noon on Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Although the deadline has been extended, we encourage you to get your returns filed now. If you have any questions, please contact us at our US based customer support center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.
Only Hours Left To File Form 2290
Today is the deadline to file your Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. The IRS will be shutting down at 1PM EST for their scheduled maintenance and will not be back up until noon on September 4, 2012. Due to the scheduled maintenance, the IRS has extended the E-File deadline to September 7, 2012.
If you miss the 1PM cutoff today, still go to ExpressTruckTax.com and file your return. You will still want to click on the ‘Transmit Return to IRS’ button, but the IRS will not actually process your return until they resume operations on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. If it is after 1PM, you can expect to receive your Stamped Schedule 1 back on Tuesday September 4, 2012.
If you are paper filing the return still must be postmarked by today, August 31, 2012 to avoid IRS penalties and interest.
Although the deadline has been extended, we encourage you to get your returns filed now. If you have any questions, please contact us at our US based customer support center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 during our extended customer support hours of 8AM-11.30PM EST or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.
