FAQ Friday: The Difference between No Operation, Amendment, and Final Return

Posted on January 13, 2023 by - 2290 Amendment, 2290 FAQ's, FAQ's, FAQ's to e-file 2290

ExpressTruckTax is the market-leading Form 2290 e-file provider that offers clients a number of amazing features. It allows clients to file Form 2290 for vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax annually to the IRS. The features ExpressTruckTax offers don’t stop there. ExpressTruckTax allows drivers to file for trucks that are considered suspended and would fall under the No Operation category. You are also able to file Form 2290 amendments and final reports. Below you will find an explanation of the difference between these features. 

No Operation

Vehicles that weigh 55,000 pounds or more that do not drive or operate during the tax year falls into this category. You do not have to file Form 2290 for these vehicles unless you put them on the road at any time during the course of the tax year. 

Amendment

Form 2290 amendments are available for filers to make corrections to their forms. There are three types of Form 2290 amendments that are available through ExpressTruckTax including VIN correction, Increase in Taxable Gross Weight, and Low Mileage Exceeded.

VIN Correction

If the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) you entered into Form 2290 is off by only a few characters, you are able to file a Form 2290 VIN Correction Amendment. If it is the entire VIN or more than just a few characters that are wrong, you will need to file a new Form 2290 for the correct VIN and then a Form 8849 to request a refund for the tax amount paid on the original Form 2290. If you end up simply needing a VIN Correction and you filed your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax the VIN Correction will be free.

Increase in Taxable Gross Weight

If the Taxable Gross Weight of a vehicle increases or the wrong weight was originally entered and was less than the actual weight, you will have to file a Form 2290 weight increase amendment. You will file the amendment and then pay the difference of the tax that is now owed.

Low Mileage Exceeded

If you originally filed your vehicle as suspended on your Form 2290 and you ended up exceeding the mileage limit, you must file a Low Mileage Exceeded amendment and then pay the tax due for the entire tax year.

Final Return

A final return is filed when you are no longer planning to file Form 2290 for your vehicle because you sold your business, are not planning to drive your vehicle anymore, or for any other reason. It is a Form 2290 but you will select the final return and this lets the IRS know that you no longer plan to file Form 2290 so that they know they do not need to send you a yearly packet.

Filing Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax makes the entire process fast and easy. You are able to utilize all of the above features and many more. What are you waiting for? File Form 2290 today and receive your Stamped Schedule 1 in minutes with ExpressTruckTax!

Everything You Need To Know About Form 2290 Amendments

Posted on September 23, 2022 by - 2290 Amendment, 2290 Amendment Online, 2290 Amendments

The Form 2290 deadline for the 2022-2023 tax year was August 31st, 2022. Even though the deadline has passed already, you are still able to file your Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) with ExpressTruckTax. If you have already filed with us, we would like to thank you for filing. 

If you have filed there is a chance that you might have made a mistake or some of the information you have entered might change. If this happens, ExpressTruckTax has the solution for you. You can make updates to Form 2290 using any of the following Form 2290 Amendments: Gross Weight Increase, VIN correction, or  Mileage Exceeded.

Gross Weight Increase

The tax amount owed to the IRS for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax not only depends on when you put your vehicle on the road for the first time but also what the Taxable Gross Weight of the vehicle in which consists of the weight of the truck, the trailer and the maximum load it can carry. Form 2290 has to be filed for vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more. There are several weight classes for these vehicles ranging from 55,000 pounds to 75,000 pounds or more. If a vehicle was filed for a Taxable Gross Weight that is less than what it is supposed to be, filing a Form 2290 Amendment is what you need to do. Once you file the amendment you will need to pay the difference for the tax that you owe. 

VIN Correction

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character sequence that identifies each vehicle. You must enter this number on Form 2290 so that the IRS will know it is for that particular vehicle. If you filed your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax and have only entered a few wrong characters for your VIN, you are able to file a VIN correction amendment free of charge with ExpressTruckTax.

Mileage Exceeded

If a vehicle weighs 55,000 miles or more but drives less than 5,000 miles a year, or less than 7,500 miles a year if it is used for agricultural purposes, it is considered suspended by the IRS. Form 2290 must still be filled for this vehicle but no tax will be owed. If you file the vehicle as suspended but the vehicle ends up exceeding the mileage limit, a mileage exceeded amendment must be filed and then you must pay the tax that is owed to the IRS which will be the amount due for the entire year.

Now that the 2021-22 tax season is here, it’s time to file your Form 2290! Getting all your information together and filling it in correctly can be a hassle, especially when you’re in a hurry. 

We understand that people make mistakes, so ExpressTruckTax offers amendments for the Form 2290, just in case a mistake is made!

Why File an Amendment?

If you made a mistake on your Form 2290, then it is important to file an amendment in order to fix the mistake made. 

By filing an amendment, you won’t have to fill out and submit a whole new Form 2290. Amendments are quick and easy to submit to the IRS compared to having to file a whole new Form 2290.

After you make a mistake or need to update your information on the Form 2290, check the list of amendments that are offered before starting a new Form 2290.This could save you a lot of time and money!

What Amendments does ExpressTruckTax offer?

There are 3 different amendments thats you can file for your Form 2290:

  1. Vin Correction

Your Vin (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17 character identification sequence, so it’s easy to make a mistake and mess up a digit or two. If this happens, it’s important that you file for a Vin Correction on your previous return. 

Below is the Step-by-Step instructions to file for a VIN correction: 

  • Log in to your ExpressTruckTax account.
  • Click on “Start New Return”, then select “VIN Correction” under “Form 2290 amendment.”
  • Choose whether you are filing a VIN correction for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide your tax year information, old VIN, and the corrected VIN.
  • Complete the rest of the return and transmit it to the IRS.

(If you have filed your original return with us, the data from the original return would be auto-updated in the VIN Correction Form and you do not have to pay for the return.)

  1. Increase in Taxable Gross Weight

If, during the tax year that you filed Form 2290 for, the weight of your vehicle is increased and is placed into a different weight brackett, you will need to file a Taxable Gross Weight Amendment. 

To file a Taxable Gross Weight Amendment with ExpressTruckTax, follow these steps: 

  • Log in to your account.
  • Click on “Start New Return”, then select “Taxable Gross Weight Increase” under “Form 2290 Amendments”.
  • Choose the Taxable Gross Weight Increase Amendment option for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide the vehicle information and increased taxable gross weight category (Your adjusted HVUT for the remaining year will be calculated automatically.)
  • Check your return and transmit it to the IRS.
  1. Mileage Exceeded

If you filed for a suspended vehicle for the tax return, but the vehicle went over the 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles), then you must file for a Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment. 

To File a Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment, follow the instructions below:

  • Log in to your account.
  • Click on “Start New Return” and select “Mileage Limit Exceeded” under “Form 2290 amendment.”
  • Choose whether you are filing Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide the required information about your vehicle.
  • Your adjusted HVUT for the remaining year will be calculated automatically based on the vehicle’s weight category.
  • Check your return and transmit it to the IRS.

When Can I not file an Amendment?

Amendments are there for minor mistakes that are easy to make, like getting one number wrong on your VIN or not estimating your mileage correctly. Amendments cannot be used if larger more substantial errors occur. 

If you get important information completely incorrect, like your name, address, or the completely wrong VIN, you must file a Form 8849 in order to void your previous Form 2290, then you will need to re-file a Form 2290 with the correct information. 

Why File your Amendments with ExpressTruckTax? 

 ExpressTruckTax offers all three of these amendments to their users. 

If you filed the original Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax, our program will automatically fill in most of the information that was given in the original return.

We make filing amendments easy and you’ll be able to check the status of your correction while it’s being processed. 

Also, if you filed the original return with ExpressTruckTax, your VIN Correction Amendment will be free of charge! We understand how easy it is to mess up a 17 digit code, so we don’t want our clients to be penalized for a simple mistake!

Common Reasons for Form 2290 Rejections

Posted on August 9, 2017 by - 2290, 2290 Amendment, 2290 correction, 2290 rejection, 2290 Schedule 1, 2290 stamped Schedule 1, e-file 2290, E-file HVUT, File 2290, file form 2290, HVUT, HVUT Form 2290 Rejection, phone file 2290

As the HVUT deadline races towards us, it’s important to remember to give yourself enough time to file our Heavy Vehicle Use Tax 2290 Forms to make it by the August 31st deadline. If you wait until the last minute to file and your form is rejected then it’s up to you to correct it and retransmit it to the IRS in time, otherwise, you will face late filing penalties.

So why wait? Go ahead and use ExpressTruckTax to quickly and conveniently knock out your Form 2290 today and use the following tips about why 2290 forms are commonly rejected to get yours accepted the first time.

Why 2290 Forms Are Commonly Rejected

EIN Problems

You need an EIN or Employer Identification Number to complete your Form 2290. There’s no way around it. Once you place your SSN in place of your EIN on your form then it will instantly be rejected.

If you need an EIN go apply for one with the IRS now because it takes about two weeks for them to become updated in the IRS’s system and your form can get rejected during that time. Even though you’ll get your EIN instantly when you apply for one, you have to wait for it to become active before you can file.

You also need to make sure that your business information matches the information that you have on file for your EIN with the IRS. If they don’t match then your form could get rejected. You can verify your information with the IRS by calling 1-888-829-4933.

Your Form is a Duplicate

Each VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can only be filed for once during the HVUT tax period. Duplicates will be rejected, so make sure that you’re filing for the current tax period which runs from July 1st, 2017 to June 30th, 2018. If you accidentally filed for the previous tax period then that could be why your form is considered a duplicate.

You also need to make sure that you enter your VIN correctly. If it’s one character off then your form could get rejected. If your form is rejected for this reason don’t panic, you can quickly and easily file free VIN corrections with ExpressTruckTax.

RTN Errors

You can pay the amount of HVUT you owe to the IRS through direct debit or electronic funds withdrawal, and that process involves providing your bank account number and RTN (Routing Transfer Number).

If you enter this information with as little as one character off the IRS will not be able to debit the funds and your form will be rejected. This is also the case if you do not have enough funds in your account to cover the full amount.

Enter your information, which can be found on one of your checks correctly. If your form is rejected for the incorrect RTN or insufficient funds simply edit your form and retransmit it or choose a different payment method.

How To Pay Your 2290 Tax When E-filing

Posted on March 1, 2017 by - 2290, 2290 Amendment, 2290 android app, 2290 calculator, 2290 credit, 2290 e-file, 2290 iOs app, 2290 IRS payment online, Mobile 2290 E-Filing

Taxes aren’t very much fun, even though when we pay some of them like the HVUT the money goes to repairing and improving our highways giving us a smoother ride, and preventing wear and tear on our rigs. That’s all great and all, but you still have to pay the tax yourself, so make sure you’re up to date on exactly how to pay it.

How To Pay Your 2290 HVUT

Form 2290 is used to pay your HVUT or heavy vehicle use tax. If you’re in a highway motor vehicle that has a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more then you have to file e-file a HVUT 2290 form in order to get a copy of your Stamped Schedule 1. E-file means electronically filing online.

A highway motor vehicle includes vehicles that are designed to carry loads over public highways, whether they were also designed to perform other functions or not and that are self-propelled. These vehicles generally include buses, tractor trailers, and large trucks. Vans and pickup trucks tend to weigh less than 55,000 pounds.

The weight only includes the vehicle and it’s chassis or body, not it’s load. The type of load doesn’t matter either, the vehicle can be designed to passengers, supplies, or cargo.

Also, a public highway includes any road in the United States that isn’t private, including city, county, state and federal roads.

Your form 2290 is due the last day of the 2nd month after you first use your new qualifying vehicle. For example, if you first start driving a new qualifying vehicle in February then your Form 2290 would be due by March 31st. Also, the form 2290 needs to be renewed annually by August 31st.

When you file your form 2290 you have to pay your HVUT and you have a few different options for doing that.

You can pay with EFW or Electronic Fund Withdrawal, which is the option offered when you e-file your federal taxes with the use of IRS authorized preparation software, like ExpressTruckTax, or through a tax professional.

With EFW you enter in your bank account information to the IRS’s safe and secure payment system and the tax amount you owe is withdrawn from your bank account usually within 24 to 48 hours of submitting your payment.

Another payment option you have is to pay with the EFTPS or Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. If you select that option you will be taken to the EFTPS site. EFTPS is the free safe and secure payment system that’s offered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

To use the EFTPS you will need to create a free account, enter your bank account information, and verify it because this payment system works by withdrawing the funds you owe from your bank account.

Also, you have the 3rd option of mailing a check or money order to the IRS directly. Just make sure that the check or money order is payable to the U.S. Treasury and includes your name, address, EIN, “IRS form 2290”, and the date. Do not send cash.

If you choose to send a check or money order you’ll need to print the payment voucher 2290 -V, or page 5 of your 2290 and include it with your payment. Don’t staple your payment to your form 2990 or payment voucher.

Send Your Payment and voucher to:

Internal Revenue Service,
P.O. Box 804525,
Cincinnati,
OH 45280-4525.

E-Filing Form 2290 Amendments
E-Filing Form 2290 Amendments

As we move further away from 2290 deadline season, it becomes more clear that filers might need to make amendments, corrections, and changes to the 2290’s they’ve already filed.

Of course, we’re not going to cover all of those corrections that can be made in one post. As part of our ongoing discussion about e-filing Form 2290 Amendments, we’re focusing on what to do when you Exceed the Mileage Use Limit.

Mileage Limits on IRS Form 2290

Mileage use limit for a heavy vehicle on public highways is 5,000 miles (or) less (7,500 miles (or) less for agricultural vehicles). The mileage use limit applies to the total mileage a vehicle is on the road during a period, regardless of the number of owners.

Just like when we talked about VIN corrections, ExpressTruckTax has an option for those who exceed the mileage use limit.

Exceeding the Limit

What should you do when your suspended vehicles exceeds the mileage use limit?

It’s not unusual for a suspended vehicle to exceed its mileage use limit, which is why the IRS allows you to file an amendment if your vehicle exceeds the mileage use limit.

So how do you do it? Traditionally, you to need to calculate the tax on Form 2290, page 2, based on the month the vehicle was first used in the period. After that, you file the amended Form 2290 and Schedule 1 by the last day of the month following the month in which the mileage use limit was exceeded.

However, if you want to file your amendment fast, login to ExpressTruckTax.com, where it’s easy to file a mileage limit amendment and accurately calculate the tax due to IRS. Best of all, you will get your Schedule 1 for the new claim within minutes.

If you’ve e-filed with us before, you can select that return from our system. We also accept new filers, as well.

If you have questions about e-filing a 2290 amendment, please call us at 704.234.6005 – we’re here ready to answer your call in Rock Hill, SC, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Suspended Vehicles Exceeding the Mileage use Limit

If a suspended vehicle exceeds the mileage use limit, they need to file form 2290 amendment. The mileage use limit for a heavy vehicle on public highways is 5,000 miles or less (7,500 miles or less for agricultural vehicles). The mileage use limit applies to the total mileage a vehicle is on the road during a period, regardless of the number of owners.

VIN Correction

If you made a mistake on a VIN when you filed Form 2290, you need to file a Form 2290 VIN correction. You can only file a VIN correction for taxable (or) suspended vehicles, and not for credit vehicles or for prior year suspended vehicles. The wrong VIN must have been paid for in the original form 2290, or the IRS will penalize you while still requiring the actual tax.

Don’t forget, we offer FREE 2290 VIN corrections for any filer who e-filed their 2290 return with us here at ExpressTruckTax!

If you didn’t e-file your 2290 with us, but you still need to e-file a VIN correction, have no fear! You still have a chance, you just have to pay a small fee.
