The deadline to file your Form 2290 is only a few days away! It is important to file before the deadline because, if you miss it,  the IRS will hand out huge penalties.

Filing your Form 2290 online with ExpressTruckTax is a fast and easy process. Once you have all of your information on hand, filing will only take a few minutes. 

What Information Should You Have On Hand When Filing Your Form 2290?

When you begin e-filing Form 2290, having all the required information on hand will make the filing process quicker since all you will need to do is type in the information. 

When filing, you will need the following information:

Where Can You File Form 2290?

ANYWHERE– when you e-file with ExpressTruckTax.

We understand how hard it is for truckers to find a place to stop and file their tax return, especially while on the road. ExpressTruckTax offers the ability to file anywhere through our FREE mobile app.

File your Form 2290 from anywhere on the road (but not while driving of course). The accessibility and quick processing times of e-filing your tax return make it much more convenient than filing by paper. 

If you still decide to file by paper and send it through the mail, expect large delays in the processing of your Form 2290.  The IRS issued a postcard notifying that this year especially to expect large delays in the processing of paper-filed forms and suggested using an IRS-approved E-filing provider instead, like ExpressTruckTax!

When Is the HVUT Payment Due?

The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) is due the same day as Form 2290, which is the end of the month following the vehicle’s FUM. If you’re filing during the tax season, then the due date is August 31st. 

Even if you can’t make the payment before the due date, it is important to at least file the form on time. This is because not filing Form 2290 will result in a 4.5% penalty and not making the payment on time is only a .5% penalty.

Don’t Wait! File your Form 2290 Now!

The 2021-22 tax season deadline is only a few days away! File your Form 2290 today and ensure that you won’t find yourself face-to-face with heavy penalties.

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions- Form 2290 Style!

Posted on March 24, 2015 by - E-file Form 2290 mobile, Employer Identification Number, Expresstrucktax.com, Form 2290, HVUT, Mobile App, Schedule 1, Truck Tax

Annual HVUT renewals may be the furthest thing from your mind on a gorgeous Spring day! 
But here at ExpressTruckTax, we’re already counting down the days! We live to provide year-round, exceptional E-filing support, and we just can’t wait for tax season to kick off. 

So in preparation for our favorite time of year, it’s time for another installment of Frequently Asked Questions, Form 2290 style!
Bragging rights for you, if you already know the answers to these tricksy E-filing quandaries.

But if you don’t, don’t feel bad! We get these exact questions and more on a near daily basis.

1.How can I E-file from my tablet or smartphone?

It’s easy! All you need is a WiFi connection! There are two ways to E-file on-the-go. 1. Use our Mobile site in your phone/tablet browser: ETT2290.com. 2. Download our free iOS or Android app! Once you login, you’ll follow the same three easy steps to E-filing success!

Do keep in mind though, that you can only E-file a basic Form 2290 from the mobile site and app. If you need to claim a credit vehicle or E-file a correction or Form 8849 for a refund, these can only be filed through our full site at ExpressTruckTax.com.

2.How does the IRS electronically “stamp” my Schedule 1? And why can’t I see it?!

The IRS indicates that your return has been accepted by placing an electronic watermark in the center of your Schedule 1. Check out the photo (right) to see a sample. It should say “E-File” with the date received below. Depending on your printer settings, this mark may appear very faint, but rest assured, it’s still a valid Schedule 1.

To learn more about retrieving extra copies of your stamped Schedule 1 (for free!), read Everything You’ve Ever Wondered about the Stamped Schedule 1.

3.How do I transfer my 2290 to a new vehicle?

You don’t! It’s impossible to literally transfer a 2290 from one vehicle to another. You can, however, claim a credit for the old vehicle to avoid paying any extra tax.

Simply login and start a new Form 2290, enter the vehicle information for the new truck, then claim a credit for the older sold/lost/destroyed truck on the same Form. You’ll only pay the difference. For a step-by-step guide, check out this blog: Transfer your 2290.

4.Can I use my Social Security Number instead of an EIN?

First, we should clarify what EIN means for those who may not know. An Employer Identification Number is a federally-issued ID of 9 unique digits. And no, you cannot use a SSN instead. While this was allowed in the past, the IRS no longer accepts SSN in place of EIN’s for tax purposes.

If you don’t have an EIN, you can obtain one for free by registering online through the IRS. Or if you’re short on time, you can call our friends at Truck Services of North America to obtain it for you. We wouldn’t recommend them if they weren’t awesome, so rest-assured you’ll receive the same stellar support you’re used to with us! Reach out to them at 803.386.0320 or email at support@tsnamerica.com.

One last tip: be sure to wait at least 10 business days after your EIN is issued before E-filing. It takes about that long for the IRS to activate your number, and before that happens, any return filed will be rejected.


5.Why didn’t I receive my stamped Schedule 1?

There are two usual suspects in this case. 1. The Schedule 1 email went to your Spam/Junk box. 2. You didn’t transmit the return.

If it’s not in your Spam Box, log back into your account and make sure the return was transmitted. From your Dashboard, you can easily view the status of every return E-filed with us. If it says, “Not complete. Continue where you left off,” then you know you did not submit the return to the IRS.

If it was transmitted, it will say “Transmitted” or “Accepted,” and you’ll be able to view & print the stamped Schedule 1 right there.

Hopefully this blog not only answered your questions, but made your brain get a little bigger too. After all, it can never hurt to know more about tax regulations. Who knows when this information will come in handy during trivia night or to help a friend in need!

If you’re still confused, just call our Support Team for assistance! They’re available via phone at 704.234.6005, by live online chat, or by email at support@expresstrucktax.com.
