How ExpressTruckTax Helped Truckers in 2020

Posted on February 2, 2021 by - ExpressTruckTax benefits

2020 was a wild year, but through it all the American trucker led the way in hauling our goods and keeping our shelves stocked. We want to thank you and let you know that we were working for you every step of the way. Here are just a few of the ways that ExpressTruckTax helped to support American truckers during 2020.

Trademark

Out of the over 31 million businesses in America, only around 800,000 have a trademark. This legal designation helps American businesses identify their products and services and distinguish them from those of their competitors. We are excited to go into 2021 having officially secured the trademark for ExpressTruckTax!

Over the past ten years, we have had the good fortune to develop a distinctive history and reputation with our loyal following of American truckers. As such, we have become the market-leading Form 2290 e-filing solution. As we continue to add more features and tools, we would like our new and returning clients to be assured that they are getting the best quality software on the market at an affordable price.

Thankfully, our approved trademark for “ExpressTruckTax” will help us eliminate dishonest copycats who have been intentionally misleading American truckers by misrepresenting our brand. You can rest assured that we will always defend ourselves against infringements past and present. Thank you for your trust, and we will continue to fight to provide top quality service at an affordable price.

Prefiling

In 2020, truckers helped America and we wanted to give them a chance to beat the Form 2290 crowds of August and September by filing ahead of time. Prefiling also means that ExpressTruckTax clients have their forms processed first by the IRS, so they get their stamped Schedule 1 back fast.

So to help more truckers have peace of mind about their Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes (HVUT), we opened up prefiling earlier than ever. Starting in May of 2020, truckers could pre-file their 2020-21 Form 2290 and ExpressTruckTax sent them to the IRS as soon as they began processing 2290s on July 1.

We look forward to providing e-filing services early again this year. Be on the lookout this spring!

ExpressGuarantee

In a further effort to give back to truckers in 2020, we put in place our new ExpressGuarantee. This new feature guarantees that Form 2290s filed through our system will be accepted by the IRS and clients will receive their stamped Schedule 1 or their money back.

Our 100% US-based customer support team will also do everything they can (for free) to resolve IRS rejections. If they still cannot get your 2290 accepted, we will refund your service fee, no questions asked. Now there’s no reason not to file with us!

ExpressStats

During peak 2290 season, in July and August of 2020, we published some of our most interesting statistics about truckers. While no personal information whatsoever was disclosed, the stats represented a snapshot of data among our thousands of clients. This information included most popular truck brands, cities and states with the largest number of HVUT e-filers, and much more.

Why You Should File Your 2020-2021 Form 2290 With ExpressTruckTax

Posted on July 23, 2020 by - ExpressTruckTax benefits

When it comes to filing the IRS Form 2290, you can either go it alone with a paper form or e-file online with a simplified, interview-style process.

You might think that filing your Form 2290 the old-fashioned way is preferable to e-filing. But you’d be wrong. 

When you file your HVUT return on paper, you are far more likely to make mistakes. You are entirely on your own. You can’t ask anyone questions. There is only the confusing legalese provided by the IRS on Form 2290.

Make your life easier and save yourself time by e-filing your Form 2290 for 2020 online with ExpressTruckTax!

E-filing 2020-2021 Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax is quick and easy

When you e-file Form 2290 with IRS-authorized e-file provider ExpressTruckTax, you will be asked a series of simple questions. All you have to do is answer those questions and the system will automatically fill out your Form 2290 for you. 

Not having to decipher what the IRS wants from you means you are less likely to make errors and you will save time.

E-filing with ExpressTruckTax gives you an instant audit

Another benefit of e-filing Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax is that your return will undergo an instant audit before being transmitted to the IRS. The instant audit checks your return for common mistakes that could cause your return to be rejected by the IRS. 

E-filing with ExpressTruckTax gives you a quick stamped Schedule 1

Additionally, when you file Form 2290 on paper, you will likely not hear back from the IRS for several weeks. That means if you made any mistakes and your return is rejected, you may miss your deadline because of it.

When you e-file Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax, however, the IRS typically accepts or rejects the return within a few minutes. So if you need to make corrections you can do that immediately. 

Also, you will get your stamped 2290 Schedule 1 (proof of payment) back in super quickly. That way, you will never miss your deadline.

#TruckTechTuesday: GPS for Truckers

Posted on November 24, 2015 by - ExpressIFTA, ExpressTruckTax benefits, GPS for Trucks, truck-specific GPS benefits

Happy #TruckTechTuesday, Trucking Nation! GPS is obviously an invaluable tool for truckers. Today’s GPS units can give you even more specialized, extremely useful information besides just your geographical position and the time. With a GPS unit designed for trucking, you can plan routes based on several factors such as height or other restrictions, useful amenities along the way, and much more. We’ve come a long way since the days of paper maps.

Keeping You Informed

A huge advantage of truck-specific GPS units is the ability to plan trips around road restrictions, including HAZMAT restrictions, so that you know ahead of time the best route to take. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of projecting routes. Being able to know where restricted stretches of road are can save you a lot of time deciding which route to take, as well as money from having to backtrack and find an alternate route. Time and diesel wasted really cuts into the bottom line.

In addition to restricted routes, GPS units designed for trucks can also help you identify which roads are toll roads, so you can plan for tolls or totally avoid them altogether. No one likes a surprise toll booth!

You can also find and identify trucking points of interest (POI’s). A few examples of these are truck services, truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations, restaurants, motels, and even fuel costs by location. Truck-specific GPS units can even let you know what the weather is in a certain area, as well as the forecast for that area.

Additionally, you can schedule maintenance reminders so you never forget to take care of your rig. And fleet managers are able to keep track of their trucks and drivers with a variety of data, including driver on duty and drive times. They can track the exact location of a specific truck, and analyze driver performance over time.

Helping with Taxes

Not only can these units tell you about existing conditions and POI’s, they can record your mileage on a state-by-state or province basis, which will help you when filing quarterly IFTA returns. ExpressIFTA allows you to upload this information into your account quickly and easily using the GPS upload option.

ExpressTruckTax gives you the ability to prepare your HVUT as well as your IFTA return. We’re the leading truck tax solution, and available in English or Spanish to answer your questions and concerns over the phone at 704.234.6005 or by email at support@expresstrucktax.com.
