The Form 2290 Deadline is Only a Few Days Away, File Now!

Posted on August 29, 2022 by - 2290 deadline, 2290 filing deadline, August 31st Deadline

Truckers, you only have a few days left to file Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) to the IRS without being penalized! Because of this, there are only a few days left to file before you are fined or penalized for not having a current Stamped Schedule 1, which you receive upon filing Form 2290. 

If you are a driver of a vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more, you need to be aware of this August 31st deadline. This is because if you are late you will not be able to get the tags or registration for your vehicle without a current copy of the Stamped Schedule 1. The Stamped Schedule 1 also acts as proof of filing Form 2290. If you are found without a current Stamped Schedule 1, that is when penalties and fines will occur. You can also get a ticket for not being able to provide a current Stamped Schedule 1 on top of getting fined. One way to avoid this is by Filing Form 2290 before the August 31st deadline. 

In order to make sure you file on time and don’t miss the deadline, ExpressTruckTax the market-leading Form 2290 e-filer, has the solution you need to file Form 2290. By filing with ExpressTruckTax, you don’t have to worry about missing the deadline and getting fined by the IRS for being late with the tax payment. ExpressTruckTax guarantees you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 within minutes of filing.

You simply create an account with ExpressTruckTax and enter your business information, your Employer Identification Number (EIN), your vehicle information including the vehicle’s Vehicle Information Number (VIN), if you are claiming any credit vehicles, and then your payment information. 

ExpressTruckTax offers a new payment feature that makes ExpressTruckTax even more convenient for filers because Form 2290 can be filed and the tax can be paid at the same time via credit or debit card. Before this option was available, you would have to go through an external payment processing site to pay your taxes. Not only would you have to re-enter all of your information again, but you would also risk forgetting to pay the HVUT, resulting in late fines. Now paying and filing are available in one convenient place! Now you don’t have to worry about being late with your tax payments and get it all done at the same time.

Are you tired of being late with your tax payments and racking up fines? You don’t have to worry about that anymore with ExpressTruckTax! What are you waiting for? File Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax today and stop worrying about being late to pay your HVUT taxes!

IRS HVUT Form 2290 Taxes on Truckers

Posted on July 31, 2012 by - 2290 Schedule 1, August 31st Deadline, e-file 2290, Federal Penalties, Form 2290, Heavy vehicle use tax 2290, Hvut 2290, HVUT Exemptions, irs 2290, irs 2290 penalties

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for truckers is increasing and is expected to continue to increase 10% over the next 10 years. The heavy vehicle use tax or HVUT is a fee assessed annually on these heavy vehicles operating on public highways at registered gross weights equal to or exceeding 55,000 pounds. This tax is paid by filing IRS Form 2290. The current tax period is July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013. The deadline to file for all vehicles used during the month of July is August 31, 2012.
The penalty for not filing the IRS Form 2290 by August 31st is equal to 4.5% of total tax due.  This amount is assessed on a monthly basis up to five months. Those who choose not to make their HVUT payment also face an additional monthly 0.5% of the tax due penalty. Additional interest charges of 0.54% per month accrue as well. Within 5 months of not filing and paying the HVUT tax, the HVUT liability that was originally $550 will be over $700 in IRS tax debt. In addition to the monetary federal penalties, states suspend the registrations of vehicles for which proof of HVUT payment has not been provided. So not only will the taxpayer owe more money, they will also be unable to renew their registrations, so they will be unable to work. HVUT evasion penalties can even be as severe as fines and incarceration.
There are a few instances where a vehicle is exempt from paying the HVUT tax, even if most of those instances; a Form 2290 is required to be filed even if no tax is due. You can find detailed information on the IRS site at www.irs.gov/trucker.
You can e-file your Form 2290 quickly and easily at ExpressTruckTax.com and receive your Schedule 1 within minutes. Your Schedule 1 serves as proof of payment for your HVUT and when you file by the August 31, 2012 deadline you will avoid any IRS penalties.
