La temporada de impuestos se acerca rápidamente y también lo es la fecha límite para hacer su Formulario 2290. Estos formularios a menudo hacen preguntas que pueden parecer confusas al principio. Una de las preguntas que le hacen cuando se registra para presentar es ¿bajo qué tipo de negocio está presentando? ¿Qué es un tipo de negocio y cómo sabe cuál es el adecuado para su negocio de camiones?

A continuación, encontrará una guía muy útil que explica más sobre cada tipo de negocio para determinar cuál es el mejor para usted.

Propietario único o LLC de un solo miembro

En resumen, un propietario único es el propietario único de un negocio.

S-Corporación de LLC como S-Corp

Las corporaciones S son corporaciones que eligen pasar los ingresos, pérdidas, deducciones y créditos corporativos a través de sus accionistas para propósitos de impuestos federales. Esto permite a las corporaciones S evitar la doble imposición sobre los ingresos corporativos.

C-Corporation o LLC como C-Corp

Corporación C, según la ley federal de impuestos sobre la renta de los Estados Unidos, es cualquier corporación que paga impuestos por separado de sus propietarios. A diferencia de las corporaciones C, las corporaciones S no pagan impuestos por separado.

Sociedad o LLC como Sociedad

Una sociedad es donde dos o más personas son propietarias del negocio.

Fincas

Los bienes son todo el dinero y la propiedad que posee una persona en particular, especialmente al momento de su muerte.

Fideicomisos y fiduciarios

Un fideicomiso es una relación cuando una persona tiene el título de la propiedad. Un fiduciario es una persona u organización que actúa en nombre de otra persona.

Organización Exenta

Para que una organización se considere exenta, debe ser una organización caritativa, una fundación privada u otra organización similar que esté exenta del impuesto federal sobre la renta.

¿Qué sucede si elige el tipo de negocio incorrecto?

No te preocupes, sucede, todos cometemos errores. Simplemente puede hacer clic en su nombre en la esquina superior derecha y luego hacer clic en la flecha desplegable. Luego hará clic en “Mi cuenta”, que lo llevará a una página con múltiples opciones. Desde allí, seleccione la opción titulada “Administrar empresas” haciendo clic en el icono del lápiz.

Cuando vea el nombre de la empresa que desea cambiar, haga clic en el ícono de lápiz a la derecha y lo llevará a la página que le permitirá cambiar el tipo de empresa.

Luego, en tipo de negocio, seleccione el menú desplegable y desde allí puede seleccionar el tipo de negocio que mejor describa su negocio de camiones.

Tax season is fast approaching and so is the deadline to file your Form 2290. These forms often ask questions that might seem confusing at first. One of the questions you’re asked when you sign up to file is which business type you are filing under? What is a business type and how do you know which one is right for your trucking business? 

Below, you will find a helpful guide explaining more about each type to determine which is the best fit for you.

Sole Proprietor or Single Member LLC

To sum it up, a sole proprietor is the single owner of a business.

S-Corporation of LLC as S-Corp

S-Corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through their shareholders for federal tax purposes. This allows S-corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income.

C-Corporation or LLC as C-Corp

C-Corporation, Under United States federal income tax law, is any corporation that is taxed separately from its owners. Unlike C-Corporations, S-Corporations are not taxed separately.

Partnership or LLC as Partnership

A partnership is where two or more people own the business.

Estates

Estates are all of the money and property owned by a particular person, especially at death.

Trusts and Fiduciaries

A trust is a relationship when one person holds the title to the property. A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person. 

Exempt Organization

In order for an organization to be considered exempt, it must be a charitable organization, private foundation, or other similar organization that is exempt from federal income tax.

What Happens if You Choose the Wrong Business Type?

Don’t worry it happens, we all make mistakes. You can simply click your name in the upper-righthand corner and then click the drop-down arrow. You will then click on “My Account” which will lead you to a page with multiple options. From there select the option titled “Manage Businesses” by clicking on the pencil icon. 

When you see the name of the business you want to change, click on the pencil icon to the right of it and it will take you to the page that will allow you to change the business type. 

Then under business type select the dropdown and from there you can select the business type that best describes your trucking business.

Where Can You File Form 2290?

E-Filing Form 2290 vs Making Your HVUT Payment

Posted on July 28, 2021 by - 2290 efile, E-File Form 2290 Return, HVUT Payment

So you filed your Form 2290 and received your stamped Schedule 1? That’s great!…. but unfortunately you’re not done quite yet.

It is now time to pay the IRS the tax due on your vehicles. You can only make your HVUT payment after your Form 2290 was completed and accepted by the IRS. Filing and paying your HVUT are two different processes, so It’s important that you complete both of them before the deadline. 

When is the Form 2290 due date and when do you have to Pay?

Both the Form 2290 and your HVUT payment are due by the same date, which is determined by your first used month. If you have a vehicle that was used for the first time during the tax year (bought new or used vehicle,etc) then the due date to file and pay would be the end of the following month of first use.

If the truck has been in use since the last tax year, then your due date will be on August 31st!

Even though the filing and payment are due on the same day, it is important that you don’t wait to file and pay. Your Form 2290 must be accepted before the payment is made or the IRS will not be able to process your payment.

Some payment options take a few days or weeks to be sent and accepted by the IRS. Even if the payment is sent on time, if it is not in the IRS’s hands by the end of the due date, then your HVUT will be considered late and penalties will be involved. 

File now to ensure that your Form 2290 will be accepted and that, regardless of the method you choose to make the payment, your HVUT will be received at the IRS on time.

How To Pay Your HVUT to the IRS?

The IRS offers multiple options to make your HVUT payment. It’s important that you understand all these options so you can best determine which form of payment is the best option for you. 

  • Debit and Credit Card- to make your HVUT payment using your debit and credit cards, you must make your payment at IRS.Gov/PayUsingCard 
  • Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW)– a standard bank account transfer. You will need to provide your bank account and routing numbers to the IRS. The payment will be withdrawn within 1 or 2 business days
  • Electronic Federal Tax Payment Systems (EFTPS)– a service that the IRS offers to simplify tax payments. You will have to create an account here and enroll in the program.
  • Check or Money Order– If you choose this option, you will have to remember to mail out your check or money order before the HVUT payment due date. You will also have to include the Form 2290-V along with the payment. Mail it to the following address:

Once you submit your Form 2290, the payment method that you checked can be changed, unless you picked the EFW option. So, before you submit your tax return, make sure the payment option that you picked is the one you’re committed to using. 

Why Can’t You Pay the IRS Through ExpressTruckTax?

The HVUT payment must be paid directly to the IRS. ExpressTruckTax does not initiate any of the HVUT payments and cannot accept the tax money. 

When you pay on ExpressTruckTax, you are only paying for the filing fees, not the actual payment. It is important to remember that, even though you received your stamped Schedule 1, you still need to complete the next step and send out your payment to the IRS.

When a new vehicle is placed in service, the Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the following month. If you first placed your vehicle on the road anytime in March, you can file your Form 2290 anytime between now and April 30, 2013. If a vehicle was used during any part of a month, the tax will be calculated for that month as a whole. For example, if a vehicle was used on March 25th, it will be taxed as though it was used the entire month.

The Heavy Vehicle Tax Year runs from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. When a vehicle is first placed on the road at any time during the tax year, 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 March will need to file HVUT using the Form 2290 by April 30, and the tax will be based on 4 months, instead of the full year. For vehicles first used in April, the tax will be based on 3 months and so on.

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.
