Why Truckers Love ExpressTruckTax?

Valentine’s day was just a few days ago but that doesn’t mean love is no longer in the air. ExpressTruckTax is here to provide an easy and stress-free Form 2290 e-filing experience with a multitude of amazing features that you will fall in love with! 

Quick and Easy Filing

If you drive a truck weighing 55,000 pounds or more you are required to file Form 2290. If your primary occupation involves driving a truck, there is a good chance that a lot of your time is spent behind the wheel. This leaves little time for other things, especially filing tax forms. At ExpressTruckTax we know filing forms is probably something you don’t look forward to because it can take a long time to complete the filing process. Rest assured, however, with ExpressTruckTax, the entire Form 2290 e-filing process takes only a few minutes to complete. This way you can get back on the road as soon as possible. 

Receive Your Stamped Schedule 1 in Minutes

Once you file with ExpressTruckTax and your Form 2290 is accepted by the IRS, you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 within minutes. Having a Stamped Schedule 1 is important because it allows you to get the tags and vehicle registration for a vehicle of a qualifying weight. 

Carrier Notification

If you are required to send your Stamped Schedule 1 to your carrier once you file, why go through the trouble of sending it to them yourself? ExpressTruckTax gives you the option to send it directly to your carrier after e-filing so you don’t have to. Simply select your carrier from a list of carriers upon filing. If you do not see your carrier, you are able to enter the email address where you want your Schedule 1 sent. You can also opt-in to have your schedule 1 faxed to your carrier for an additional cost. 

Bulk Upload

Need to file for multiple trucks? With the bulk upload feature, you can use our excel template to easily enter and upload your trucks into ExpressTruckTax and file for all of them at the same time instead of entering the data for them into ExpressTruckTax individually. 

Ready Return

Have you filed a return with ExpressTruckTax before and need to file again? If your vehicle and business information is the same, you are able to utilize the ready-return feature. This allows you to have an already filled-out Form 2290 using the information from your previous filing. Simply check and make sure all of the information is still correct and up to date and then transmit your form. 

Amendments and Form 8849

Have you made a mistake on your Form 2290 and need to correct it? ExpressTruckTax lets you file Form 2290 Amendments quickly and easily. If you entered an incorrect VIN in your form and it is only off by a few characters you can file a Form 2290 VIN correction amendment. If you filed your original return with ExpressTruckTax, you can submit a VIN correction amendment at no additional cost. However, if you entered your VIN incorrectly by more than just a few characters, or the entire VIN is incorrect, you will have to file a new Form 2290 with the correct VIN and then a Form 8849 to request a refund for the tax amount paid on the original Form 2290. 

If your vehicle weighing 55,000 pounds or more travels 5,000 miles or less in a year, or 7,500 miles or less if it is used for agricultural purposes, your vehicle is considered suspended by the IRS. You still have to file Form 2290 for this vehicle if this is the case, but no tax will be owed. If you end up filing the vehicle as suspended and it ends up exceeding the mileage limit, you must file a Form 2290 mileage exceeded amendment. You will then have to pay the tax amount for the full tax year to the IRS. If you file Form 2290 and pay the tax but don’t end up exceeding the mileage limit, you will have to file Form 8849 to get a refund for the tax amount paid.

If the weight of your vehicle increases or the weight was filed incorrectly, you will have to file a Form 2290 weight increase amendment and pay the tax amount that is owed to the IRS.

All of this may sound complicated, but ExpressTruckTax makes filing Form 2290 Amendments and Form 8849 fast and easy.

Free Mobile App
