Paying Your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax with Check or Money Order

Filing Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax is fast and easy because not only does it only take a few minutes, you also have multiple convenient options for paying your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax to the IRS. One of these convenient payment options is to file Form 2290 and select to pay with a check or money order. Below you will find some helpful information about paying your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax using a check or money order. 

Writing the Check

When you select check or money order as your payment method you must make sure you make it payable to the “United States Treasury”. Write your Employer Identification Number (EIN), your phone number, tax year, and “Form 2290” on the check or money order. 

What to Include

Upon selecting check or money order, you will receive a voucher, 2290-V, that you will include with your check or money order. Make sure that you do not staple your payment to the voucher. Also, it is important to make sure that you do not include cash with your payment. 

Where to Send

The voucher, 2290-V, will contain the address that you will mail your check or money order. This address is as follows:

Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 932500
Louisville, KY 40293-2500

New! Pay Your IRS Tax (HVUT) Directly Through ExpressTruckTax

ExpressTruckTax is excited to announce a new payment feature that makes it more convenient for filers to pay their Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes (HVUT). With this new feature, filers can pay their HVUT alongside filing their Form 2290 through ExpressTruckTax.

ExpressTruckTax, the market-leading Form 2290 e-filer offers a user-friendly solution to help truckers file their Form 2290 for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax. Form 2290 is filed to the IRS by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more. By using ExpressTruckTax, drivers are able to file their Form 2290 in only a few simple steps. 

ExpressTruckTax not only makes filing Form 2290 easy but also offers filers convenient ways to pay their taxes for the HVUT to the IRS. In addition to the already established convenient payment methods including Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW), EFTPS, check or money order, and credit or debit card, ExpressTruckTax is excited to announce a new tax payment option now offered. Previously if filers wanted to pay via credit or debit card they would have to go to the IRS website and pay through an IRS-approved payment processor. This would require the filer to do extra steps on a different website to actually pay the tax. Truckers would need to enter in all of their information a second time which took extra time. Because this was an extra step that needed to be completed by filers, some would say they would pay later and end up forgetting to pay at all. This would cause drivers to be fined for being late with their tax payments. The IRS payment processors also have additional fees charged for using this service. 

To ensure that drivers pay their tax on time, and not get fined, ExpressTruckTax now offers the option for drivers to pay their HVUT directly from ExpressTruckTax. Instead of having to complete the extra steps involved with paying through an IRS payment processor, filers can pay for the Form 2290 filing fee and their HVUT taxes all at the same time. When utilizing this option, there is a bank processing fee that is applied upon payment. Once the driver pays through ExpressTruckTax, the tax form and payment are submitted at the same time and filers will no longer have to worry about going to an external site and entering all of their information again or forgetting to pay altogether. 

Paying through ExpressTruckTax saves drivers time and money. This new payment method offers a one-stop solution so that the filing and the payment are submitted at the same time and drivers can get back on the road without stressing over being late with their filing or tax payment. Truckers, what are you waiting for? Visit ExpressTruckTax and get your filing and tax payment out of the way today!
