Form 2290 must be filed if a vehicle weighs 55,000 pounds or more and drives more than 5,000 miles a year, (or 7,500 miles if it is used for agricultural purposes). 

Why File Form 2290 Early?

While the IRS doesn’t start accepting Form 2290 for the new tax year until July 1st, there are many people who usually file around that time. If you wait to file then, there is a chance that it will take longer for your Form 2290 to be processed by the IRS and you will not receive your Schedule 1 for several days. 

If you file early with ExpressTruckTax however, your return will be transmitted to the IRS as soon as they start accepting them. That way you are able to beat the rush of filing season by filing early and receive your 2290 Schedule 1 as soon as possible. 

You can also file now and pay later. File now with ExpressTruckTax and your tax payment does not need to be paid until August 31st. Depending on the payment method that is selected will determine when you will pay. If you choose check or money order, EFTPS, or credit or debit card, you may submit your payment as soon as the IRS begins accepting them on July 1st and you have until August 31st to pay it. If you select electronic funds withdrawal your payment will be taken as soon as the IRS accepts the form.

Working Women Wednesday: Celebrating Women in the Trucking Industry with Walkabout Transport

Posted on March 23, 2022 by - Women in Trucking, Women Trucking, Women’s History Month

March is Women’s History Month and here at ExpressTruckTax we want to celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of women in the trucking industry. The trucking industry has been a mostly male-dominated industry, but in recent years more and more women have started trucking, some even going as far as starting their own trucking companies. 

Each week in March we will feature different women-owned trucking companies and this week we are focusing on Walkabout Transport.

Walkabout Transport is a women-owned trucking company that specializes in general freight transportation in the lower 48 states. 

When asked to provide a quote about her experiences with trucking, the company’s owner Debra Desiderato had this to say: “I was born and raised in Australia. When I was 13 my older brother took me trucking in New Zealand, I knew back then that I was gonna be a trucker too. I moved to the US in 98’ and bought my first truck in 2002. In 2019 I was awarded Driver of the Year with NASTC (National Association of Small Trucking Companies). I’m also on the driver advisory board for the Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee and a member of OOIDA and Real Women in Trucking. I’m now 57 years old with almost 2 million accident-free miles, been all over the United States, and still love trucking independently.”

Debra Desiderato is an Experienced Class A OTR tractor-trailer driver with all endorsements. She represents trucking companies for USDOT safety compliance audits and sets up and maintains safety management plans. 

Join us in celebrating many women-owned trucking companies this Women’s History Month and help us give these amazing women the recognition they deserve!

Haciendo Su 2290: ¿Qué Tipo De Negocio Es Adecuado Para Usted?

Posted on March 17, 2022 by - 2290 Business Information, 2290 efile, form 2290 efile

La temporada de impuestos se acerca rápidamente y también lo es la fecha límite para hacer su Formulario 2290. Estos formularios a menudo hacen preguntas que pueden parecer confusas al principio. Una de las preguntas que le hacen cuando se registra para presentar es ¿bajo qué tipo de negocio está presentando? ¿Qué es un tipo de negocio y cómo sabe cuál es el adecuado para su negocio de camiones?

A continuación, encontrará una guía muy útil que explica más sobre cada tipo de negocio para determinar cuál es el mejor para usted.

Propietario único o LLC de un solo miembro

En resumen, un propietario único es el propietario único de un negocio.

S-Corporación de LLC como S-Corp

Las corporaciones S son corporaciones que eligen pasar los ingresos, pérdidas, deducciones y créditos corporativos a través de sus accionistas para propósitos de impuestos federales. Esto permite a las corporaciones S evitar la doble imposición sobre los ingresos corporativos.

C-Corporation o LLC como C-Corp

Corporación C, según la ley federal de impuestos sobre la renta de los Estados Unidos, es cualquier corporación que paga impuestos por separado de sus propietarios. A diferencia de las corporaciones C, las corporaciones S no pagan impuestos por separado.

Sociedad o LLC como Sociedad

Una sociedad es donde dos o más personas son propietarias del negocio.

Fincas

Los bienes son todo el dinero y la propiedad que posee una persona en particular, especialmente al momento de su muerte.

Fideicomisos y fiduciarios

Un fideicomiso es una relación cuando una persona tiene el título de la propiedad. Un fiduciario es una persona u organización que actúa en nombre de otra persona.

Organización Exenta

Para que una organización se considere exenta, debe ser una organización caritativa, una fundación privada u otra organización similar que esté exenta del impuesto federal sobre la renta.

¿Qué sucede si elige el tipo de negocio incorrecto?

No te preocupes, sucede, todos cometemos errores. Simplemente puede hacer clic en su nombre en la esquina superior derecha y luego hacer clic en la flecha desplegable. Luego hará clic en “Mi cuenta”, que lo llevará a una página con múltiples opciones. Desde allí, seleccione la opción titulada “Administrar empresas” haciendo clic en el icono del lápiz.

Cuando vea el nombre de la empresa que desea cambiar, haga clic en el ícono de lápiz a la derecha y lo llevará a la página que le permitirá cambiar el tipo de empresa.

Luego, en tipo de negocio, seleccione el menú desplegable y desde allí puede seleccionar el tipo de negocio que mejor describa su negocio de camiones.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, llame al 704.234.6005.

A Helpful Guide For Tackling Your IFTA Renewals This Year

Posted on December 1, 2021 by - IFTA tax filing

Here at ExpressTruckTax, our team is all about helping you stay compliant and keeping your truck on the road. Whether that is by helping you file your Form 2290, or helping you stay ahead of other industry requirements. 

It is important that you renew your IFTA licensing for 2021 on time! Many states’ renewal deadline is December 31, 2021. 

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we know how easy it can be to forget! So, we are breaking down the renewal process and providing all the information you need to get started!

A Crash Course in IFTA

Here’s a quick refresher. Get ready for a tongue twister! IFTA stands for International Fuel Tax Agreement. This was put into effect by the 48 states of the continental US and 10 Canadian provinces. 

This is basically just a way to make the fuel tax collection and interstate commerce reporting easier for everyone involved. 

Under federal law, you must abide by IFTA regulations if your vehicle is used, designed, or maintained for the transportation of persons or property, and at least one of the following is true: 

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or registered gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 26,000 pounds
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight
  • Is used in combination when the weight of such combination is more than 26,000 pounds GVW or registered GVW.

If your vehicle qualifies for an IFTA license, then your vehicle also qualifies for the IFTA renewal! 

Where Do I Start?

You should start with your base jurisdiction! Each year states send out a renewal packet, email, or some form of information to help you through the renewal process. 

If your deadline for renewal is December 31, 2021, then you should have already received this. 

If you haven’t already received your packet or email,  it’s time to give your state’s IFTA department a call. You can also check for renewal information on their website. 

Renewal Requirements

Most states will allow you to renew your license online through your IFTA portal. 

Generally, most jurisdictions will require that you have filed and paid for the last four quarters if you were operating before they will renew your license for the next year. 

The previous four quarters include: 

  • 2020, Quarter 4
  • 2021, Quarter 1 
  • 2021, Quarter 2
  • 2021, Quarter 3 

Now, listen closely, this is very important: your renewal must be completed, signed, and returned by the deadline to ensure that there is no delay in receiving your license and decals. 

Some states will offer drivers a grace period for displaying the new decals, but this is not true for every state. You will need to check with your jurisdiction to confirm this. 

IFTA is Easier with TruckLogics 

If you’re searching high and low for an easier way to keep track of your IFTA and create a file-ready report each quarter, you’ve come to the right place! Our sister product, TruckLogics, provides an affordable IFTA reporting solution and more!

With TruckLogics you can easily complete your IFTA reporting and take advantage of other great features designed to streamline your trucking business. 

If You First Used A Truck In August, the Deadline To File Form 2290 Is Almost Here!

Posted on September 29, 2021 by - First Used month, Form 2290 E-file, stamped Schedule 1

Did you get a new truck in August? Was August the first time you started driving a new truck? 

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you need to file Form 2290 with the new vehicle’s VIN by September 30th.

Even though you’re still getting used to your new truck, it’s important that you remember to file the Form 2290 for it before the deadline to ensure it has a valid stamped Schedule 1 and to avoid late penalties issued by the IRS!

What does ‘First Used Month’ mean?

The First Used Month (FUM) refers to the first month the truck was used on a public road during the current tax year. The Form 2290 and HVUT payment are always due at the end of the following month after the vehicle was first used. 

The chart below shows what your filing deadline will be based on the First Used Month of your truck:

What happens if it’s late? 

If your Form 2290 is filed after the deadline, the IRS will issue hefty penalties that will incur until it is filed and paid. 

If you do not file the Form 2290 before September 30th, you will be issued these penalties, plus additional interest from the IRS. The penalty for late filing will be equal to 4.5% of your owed tax amount and will incur every month it is late.

Please note that, even if you are unable to make the HVUT payment at this time, it is important to at least file before the deadline. The penalties won’t be as great if, at least, the Form 2290 is filed on time.

File Your Form 2290 Now!

E-filing your Form 2290 with ExpresstruckTax is a quick and simple process! When filing online with ExpressTruckTax, you will have access to the market-leading e-filing program along with multiple features to help make filing easy!

When you file with ExpresstruckTax, you will receive your stamped Schedule 1 within minutes after submission!

Did You Forget To Make The HVUT Payment?

Posted on September 8, 2021 by - Avoid IRS penalties, E-file form 2290, HVUT Payment, HVUT Penalties

The 2021-22 Form 2290 tax season has come to an end. Your Form 2290 and HVUT payment needed to be sent to the IRS before the August 31st deadline. 

 If you filed the Form 2290 on time and sent your HVUT payment to the IRS  before the deadline,  then congratulations! You’re all done for this year!

But when you filed the Form 2290, did you also remember to go make your payment separately to the IRS? If not, it is important to make the payment as soon as you can in order to avoid further unwanted penalties.

What Happens If The Payment Is Late?

If your HVUT payment is late, then the IRS will be issuing penalties. Your HVUT payment needed to be made or sent out by the end of the day on August 31st to be considered “on-time”.

But luckily, as long as you filed your Form 2290 on time, the penalties for a late HVUT payment won’t be as high. However, it is still important to make your payment as soon as possible.

The longer you wait to make the payment, the higher the penalties will be, and no one wants to pay more than they have to!

How To Make The Payment

When you filed the Form 2290, there was a section where you chose which payment method you intended to make the payment with.

Here are the different payment options that the HVUT payment can be made with:

  • Debit and Credit Card- to make your HVUT payment using your debit/credit cards, you must make your payment at IRS.Gov/PayUsingCard 
  • Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW)– a bank account transfer. Your bank account and routing numbers are required and the payment will be withdrawn automatically within 1 or 2 business days
  • Electronic Federal Tax Payment Systems (EFTPS)– The IRS offers this payment method to simplify tax payments. You will have to create an account here and enroll in the program.
  • Check or Money Order– You will have to mail out your check or money order for this option. You will also have to include the Form 2290-V along with the payment. Mail it to the following address:
