Posted on May 31, 2023 by - ExpressTruckTax Features

As a truck owner or fleet manager, tax filing the IRS Form 2290 can be a daunting task, consuming valuable time and resources. However, with the help of the TruckZone feature in ExpressTruckTax, managing your trucks has never been easier.

ExpressTruckTax offers a range of features to simplify the filing process, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and peace of mind. In this blog post, we will explore one of the standout features of ExpressTruckTax (the TruckZone) and how it can simplify your filing experience. 

What is the TruckZone?

The TruckZone is an ExpressTruckTax exclusive feature. Think of it as a digital garage. Whether you have one truck or thousands of trucks, the TruckZone helps you organize your fleet so that e-filing your Form 2290 each year is simple! The information you enter for each truck is saved and can be auto-populated on future returns.  

How Does the TruckZone Work?

The TruckZone feature in ExpressTruckTax simplifies the tax filing process and organization in just a few steps.

There are 2 ways to import vehicle information into TruckZone. 

  1. Manual Upload: Click the +Add Vehicle button and manually enter the vehicle’s information such as the VIN, Gross Weight, and other important information for the Form 2290 filing. You can also go the extra mile and enter IFTA and state-specific information as well.  
  2. Bulk Upload: You can upload an Excel or CSV file directly into the TruckZone, saving you time and hassle. Once the vehicles are uploaded, you select any of these vehicles to add to your Form 2290, and you can always edit the details anytime. 

You can add vehicles from the TruckZone directly to your Form 2290 by choosing ‘Import Vehicle from TruckZone’ when filing a single truck or ‘Import from TruckZone’ on the Taxable Vehicle page when filing for multiple vehicles.

In addition to this feature are several other benefits, such as saving information for multiple vehicles at once, avoiding duplicate entries, and easily maintaining and organizing hundreds of vehicles in one space.
