ExpressTruckTax has helped over 300 trucking companies create personalized portals for their owner-operators to file their Form 2290. Keep reading to find out how your company can partner with ExpressTruckTax and have a Form 2290 filing portal that your owner-operators can file their Form 2290 through.

What is Form 2290?

Form 2290 is an IRS tax form that must be filed by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more annually for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. Upon filing Form 2290, drivers will receive a Stamped Schedule 1 needed to obtain a vehicle’s tags and registration. It is also essential for drivers to keep an updated copy of their Stamped Schedule 1 in their trucks in case they get pulled over. The Stamped Schedule 1 serves as proof of filing Form 2290. 

How can ExpressTruckTax help Carriers and Associations?

Trucking companies that have any number of owner-operators struggle to have their drivers file and send them their Stamped Schedule 1 in order to stay compliant with the IRS and renew vehicle plates. Getting each driver to send in their Stamped Schedule 1 can be a challenging task, especially with numerous owner-operators. 

In order to simplify the process, ExpressTruckTax offers specialized portals for each carrier. These portals are free to the carrier. Simply share the link with your owner-operators and once they file through the portal, their Stamped Schedule 1 will be sent to the company they drive for. The portal will feature the company’s logo and the URL name will match the name in the carrier’s URL followed by 2290.

Posted on July 29, 2022 by - Frequently asked questions, Partners

What is Form 2290?

Form 2290 is an IRS tax form for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). This form must be filed annually by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more.

Why is Form 2290 Important?

Form 2290 is important because, after filing, drivers receive a Stamped Schedule 1, which is required to get a vehicle’s tags and registration. 

Who Needs a Copy of the Stamped Schedule 1?

It is important that a driver carry a copy of their Stamped Schedule 1 in their truck in case they are pulled over. It is also important that the carriers and associations that drivers drive for get a copy of the Stamped Schedule 1 as well. These carriers and associations typically request copies of these Stamped Schedule 1’s to have for their records. 

How can ExpressTruckTax benefit Carriers and Associations?

ExpressTruckTax offers a special feature that carriers and associations gain by becoming partners with ExpressTruckTax. ExpressTruckTax offers a helpful option for carriers and trucking associations where they are able to partner with ExpressTruckTax. Every affiliate that decides to partner with ExpressTruckTax gets its own Form 2290 filing portal where drivers can go to file. Not only that but the Stamped Schedule 1 will be automatically sent to the driver’s carrier or association after filing.

The best part is that it is completely free to those who partner with ExpressTruckTax and open one of these portals and the portal will feature the carrier or association’s logo. If a partner does not want a portal, they can opt-in for a backslash site which is a link they can give drivers to file Form 2290 through ExpressTruckTax.

Each carrier or association that partners with ExpressTruckTax will be added to a list that drivers can go to when filing their Form 2290 and select the carrier or association they drive for.

Save Time & Bulk Upload Multiple 2290 Forms

One of the best things about the trucking industry is how diverse it is.

One trucker might be an owner-operator, the other might be a company man for a large fleet. Either way, they’re going to have to file Form 2290. Taxable vehicles include any highway motor vehicles that have a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more.

So that probably covers your entire fleet. But how can you file HVUT for all of your vehicles? The answer is simple: bulk uploading and ExpressTruckTax’s TruckZone feature.

Why Should I Bulk Upload?

First of all, it’s easy. Instead of entering each record one-by-one, you fill out a spreadsheet and our program does the rest.

Here’s what you do:

  • Login to our system, download the official spreadsheet. 
  • Go field by field and enter the appropriate information in the right format. 
  • After the form is complete, head back to ExpressTruckTax and upload the file.
  • Our software will check for errors and make sure each field is correct. 
  • Note, if you already have your own spreadsheet use our smart upload. We will make sure fields match on our end, so that you don’t waste time making a new spreadsheet. 
  • Make sure everything looks right.
  • Pay and transmit!

Finally, once you get your fleet’s vehicles uploaded, your trucks will be saved year to year thanks to our TruckZone.

What Is TruckZone?

When you need to e-file Form 2290 for multiple vehicles, TruckZone is a lifesafer. Working as virtual fleet, TruckZone keeps all of your vehicles on record so you can access them at any time.

Let’s say you need to file HVUT for 10 trucks. This feature lets you create your own truck tax zone where you can select the 10 trucks which need an HUT filing. In a few minutes, you can e-file form 2290 for all 10, and receive 10 stamped Schedule 1’s in just minutes.
