Posted on February 3, 2023 by - e-fiile form 2290, E-File Form 2290 Return, E-file form 2290 today

Do you need Form 2290 to register your vehicle?

It is important that you file Form 2290 for vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more in order for it to be registered. By filing Form 2290, you will receive a Stamped Schedule 1 upon its acceptance. This will serve as proof of filing Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) and needs to be presented in order to receive the registration and tags for the vehicle. When filing Form 2290 there are some important factors to consider so that you do not receive fines.

Taxable Gross Weight

When filing Form 2290, you must indicate a vehicle’s Taxable Gross Weight. A vehicle’s taxable gross weight is the weight of the truck, the trailer, and the maximum weight of the load it can carry. A vehicle’s weight classification affects the amount of tax owed for the vehicle. If the wrong weight class is reported on Form 2290 and you are found to have reported the wrong weight, this may result in fines for failing to provide correct information on your vehicle especially if the amount you pay ends up being less than what is actually owed for the vehicle’s correct weight class. If you file for the wrong weight class, ExpressTruckTax offers convenient ways for resolving this type of mistake. If the weight is actually more than was reported you must file a weight increase amendment. If the weight of the vehicle is less than what was reported, you can file Form 8849 to get a refund on the form and then file a new Form 2290 for the correct weight. 

Is your vehicle suspended?

Does your vehicle weigh 55,000 pounds or more and drive less than 5,000 miles in a year? If it is used for agricultural purposes, does it drive less than 7,500 miles a year? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then your vehicle is considered suspended by the IRS. If your vehicle is suspended, you still have to file Form 2290 but no tax will be owed for this vehicle. If you file your Form 2290 and report your vehicle as suspended and it ends up going over the mileage limit, and you are caught, this could result in fines. In order to fix this you can file a mileage exceeded amendment with ExpressTruckTax and pay the tax owed for the full tax year. If you file Form 2290 and pay the tax for the full tax year but you end up not exceeding the mileage limit, you can file Form 8849 to receive a refund for the tax amount paid. 

Filing by the deadline

Filing Form 2290 late can result in fines and if you are caught not having filed Form 2290 by the deadline you will be fined and need to file the form. If your vehicle has been on the road for a year or more or you are putting it on the road for the first time in July, the deadline to file Form 2290 is August 31st. If you are putting a vehicle on the road for the first time during any other month in the year, the deadline to file Form 2290 will be the last day of the month following your vehicle’s First Used Month. Failing to file by the deadline will result in fines and you will not be able to obtain the tags or registration for your vehicle. 

Why File with ExpressTruckTax?

If you are worried about getting the registration for your vehicle, don’t be. ExpressTruckTax makes the entire Form 2290 filing process a breeze. It will only take you a few minutes to complete the filing, and once the IRS accepts your form you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1.

Clientele Spotlight: Black History Month 2023

Posted on February 3, 2023 by - Black History Month, trucking industry, trucking industry facts

Here at ExpressTruckTax, we are dedicated to helping guarantee truckers and trucking companies a simple and easy Form 2290 filing experience. We also acknowledge the amazing efforts drivers put in to keep our nation running. It is officially February, which means it is Black History Month. 

Black History Month was first suggested by Black United Students at Kent State University in 1969 and was soon adopted as a celebration around the country. In 1976 it was recognized by President Gerald Ford during the United States bicentennial, urging Americans to honor Black Americans and their accomplishments throughout history. In recent years, the trucking industry has seen steady growth in the amount of African American drivers in the industry. This means the industry is becoming more diverse and inclusive as a whole. 

As far as contributions to the transportation industry go, there have been many significant and impactful contributions made by African Americans throughout the years. One of these important figures is Garret Morgan who became known as the “Father of Transportation Technology” because of his invention of the traffic signal in 1923. 

Another important contribution to the transportation industry was made by Frederick McKinley Jones, who invented the mechanical transport refrigeration unit which is seen in today’s reefer freight haulers. He won the National Medal of Technology in 1991 for his invention. This has made it possible for trucks and train cars to transport fresh and frozen foods long distances. 

Meredith Gourdine also made an important contribution to the transportation industry with his development of an exhaust purification system in 1967. This invention is known as the catalytic converter, which helps minimize harmful emissions released into the air. 

In the mid-1970s through the 1980s, Dr. Gladys West, a famous African American mathematician programmed a 7030 Stretch computer. It was designed to map the shape of the earth and aided in the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS). 

Here at ExpressTruckTax we value and celebrate our African American clients and want to make sure they all have the best filing experience possible. We also want to take the time to highlight some of our fantastic African American clientele and business owners that have generated their 2290 or 8849 Forms with us. We want to hear about your filing experiences!

If you would like your business featured, or want to shout out an African-American-owned trucking company you love, reach out to support@expresstrucktax.com.

We will feature these businesses through a Facebook post upon your approval.

Preguntas Frecuentes del Viernes: ¿Cuáles son los vehículos de compra privada y cómo se declaran el Formulario 2290 para los vehículos de compra privada?

Posted on January 27, 2023 by - 2290 FAQ's, FAQ's, FAQ's to e-file 2290

¿Qué se considera un vehículo de compra privada?

Un vehículo comprado en forma privada es un vehículo que se ha comprado a un vendedor privado y no a un concesionario, una subasta de automóviles o alquilado a un transportista o una empresa de arrendamiento.

Vehículos de Compra Privada y Formulario 2290

Comprar un vehículo de propiedad privada

Si compra un vehículo que pesa 55,000 libras o más, debe presentar el Formulario 2290 para el impuesto sobre el uso de vehículos pesados para este vehículo. Si el primer mes de uso de su vehículo es durante el mes de la venta, el impuesto total sobre el uso de vehículos pesados para el vehículo no incluirá el impuesto del mes de la venta. De ser así, el plazo para hacer el Formulario 2290 seguirá siendo el mismo.

El primer mes de uso de un vehículo se refiere al mes en que el vehículo se puso en circulación por primera vez. Tiene hasta el último día del mes siguiente para pagar tu Impuesto sobre el Uso de Vehículos Pesados. Cuando compra un vehículo de propiedad privada, se aplican las mismas reglas, excepto que la cantidad de impuestos que pagará no incluirá el primer mes usado. Por ejemplo, si compra un vehículo de un peso calificado en enero y comienza a operarlo en Enero, su impuesto sobre el uso de vehículos pesados no incluirá el impuesto de Enero y la fecha límite para presentar el Formulario 2290 será el último día de Febrero.

Vender un vehículo de propiedad privada

Si vende un vehículo de propiedad privada, puede reclamar un crédito por este vehículo la próxima vez que haga su Formulario 2290 para un vehículo diferente. Si no planea hacer el Formulario 2290 para un vehículo diferente, se recomienda que haga el Formulario 8849. Proporcione todos los detalles de la venta para que pueda obtener un reembolso por los meses restantes del año fiscal que no tiene el vehículo en su posesión.

FAQ Friday: Privately Purchased Vehicles and Form 2290

Posted on January 20, 2023 by - Benefits of e-filing Form 2290, Best Form 2290 service provider, e-fiile form 2290

What is considered a privately purchased vehicle?

A privately purchased vehicle is a vehicle that has been purchased from a private seller and not a dealership, an auto auction, or leased from a carrier or leasing company.

Privately Purchased Vehicles and Form 2290

Buying a Privately Owned Vehicle

If you purchase a vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more you must file Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use tax for this vehicle. If the First Used Month of your vehicle is during the month of the sale, your total Heavy Vehicle Use Tax for the vehicle will not include the tax for the month of the sale. If this is the case, the deadline to file Form 2290 will remain the same. 

The First Used Month of a vehicle refers to the month in which the vehicle was put on the road for the first time. You have until the last day of the following month to pay your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. When you purchase a privately owned vehicle, the same rules apply except the amount of taxes you will pay will not include the First Used Month. For example, if you purchase a vehicle of a qualifying weight in January and start operating it in January, your Heavy vehicle use tax will not include tax for January, and the deadline to file Form 2290 will be the last day of February.

Selling a Privately Owned Vehicle

If you sell a privately owned vehicle, you can claim a credit for this vehicle next time you file Form 2290 for a different vehicle. If you are not planning to file Form 2290 for a different vehicle it is recommended that you file Form 8849. Provide all of the details of the sale so that you can get a refund for the remaining months in the tax year that you did not own the vehicle.
