Over the years, we have had reoccurring questions about a few misconceptions about filing Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use tax (HVUT).  So we would like to provide some information to help clarify it for you.
What are my Payment Options?
There are 3 Options:
(1) Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW)
(2) Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)
(3) Mail a check or money order.
How do I apply for credit using Form 2290 when a vehicle is lost or stolen?
The Form 8849 Schedule 6, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, can be filed to claim a refund or credit of heavy vehicle use taxes previously paid.
What is a suspended vehicle?
A highway motor vehicle which does not exceed mileage 5,000 miles or less (7,500 miles or less for agricultural vehicles) is exempt from tax and considered ‘suspended.’
Do I pay the penalty using the Form 2290?
The IRS will notify you if you have a penalty due, at which time you can send a letter to the IRS explaining why you have reasonable cause for filing or paying late.
We hope these answers to the most common questions we receive, helps you. If you have any more questions, please contact our friendly US based customer support center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.

IRS Recommends E-Filing Form 2290 HVUT

Posted on August 17, 2012 by - 2290, August 31st 2012, e-file 2290, E-file form 2290, e-filing deadline, Form 2290, heavy vehicle use tax, irs 2290, Schedule 1 form 2290, stamped Schedule 1, Truck Tax

Anyone who is filing a return with 25 or more vehicles is required to file electronically, but the IRS is encouraging everyone to do so. Through an IRS Authorized E-File Provider, like ExpressTruckTax.com, you can file your Form 2290, pay your HVUT taxes owed to the IRS and receive your Stamped Schedule 1 within minutes. When you E-File your Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, it will save you time and you will have an online record of previous year’s filings.
The entire process only takes a few minutes, including getting your Schedule 1 back. No more manually filling out paper returns and mailing them in and waiting to receive your Schedule 1 back in the mail, or taking into the IRS field office only to stand in line, often times for hours. When you E-File you avoid all of that and once you create your account and file your return, it is even easier for future years, because you will not have to reenter all the information; it will already be in the system.
It is your responsibility to know when and if you have to file. You must file Form 2290 and Schedule 1 for the tax period beginning on July 1, 2012, and ending on June 30, 2013, if a taxable highway motor vehicle (defined below) is registered, or required to be registered, in your name under state, District of Columbia, Canadian, or Mexican law at the time of its first use during the period and the vehicle has a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more.
The deadline is August 31, 2012, so file now. The IRS will shut down their E-Filing system on at 1pm August 31, 2012 for maintenance over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. The E-Filing system will resume on at noon on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Since it will only take minutes, there is no need to put it off until the last minute.
To E-File the Form 2290 online now, go to ExpressTruckTax.com. If you have any questions, contact our friendly US based customer support center in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.
