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

Why Pay your HVUT with a Check or Money Order?

However, your filing will be considered on time if filed before the deadline. When the money has been withdrawn from your account, you no longer have to worry about your payment being late.

Why File Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax?

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

Posted on August 10, 2022 by - 2290 IRS payment online, 2290 Payment, Form 2290 2022-23

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!

ExpressTruckTax se complace en anunciar una nueva función de pago que hace que sea más conveniente para nuestros clientes pagar sus impuestos sobre el uso de vehículos pesados ​​(HVUT). Con esta nueva función, los contribuyentes pueden pagar su HVUT junto con la presentación del Formulario 2290 a través de ExpressTruckTax.

ExpressTruckTax, el programa líder en el mercado para hacer el Formulario 2290 en línea, ofrece una solución fácil de usar para ayudar a los camioneros a hacer su Formulario 2290 para el Impuesto sobre el uso de vehículos pesados. El Formulario 2290 se hace para el IRS por conductores de vehículos que pesan 55,000 libras o más. Al usar ExpressTruckTax, los conductores pueden hacer su Formulario 2290 en tan solo unos pasos simples.

ExpressTruckTax no solo facilita la declaración del Formulario 2290, sino que también ofrece a los contribuyentes formas convenientes de pagar sus impuestos por el HVUT al IRS. Además de los métodos convenientes de pago ya establecidos, que incluyen Retiro Electrónico de Fondos (EFW), EFTPS, cheque o giro postal y tarjeta de crédito o débito, ExpressTruckTax se complace en anunciar una nueva opción de pago de impuestos que ahora se ofrece. Anteriormente, si los contribuyentes querían pagar con tarjeta de crédito o débito, tenían que ir a la página web del IRS y pagar a través de un procesador de pagos aprobado por el IRS. Esto requeriría que el contribuyente realice pasos adicionales en una página web diferente para pagar el impuesto. Los camioneros tendrían que ingresar toda su información por segunda vez, lo que toma más tiempo. Debido a que este era un paso adicional que nuestros clientes debían completar, algunos dirían que pagarían más tarde y terminarían olvidándose de pagar. Esto provocaría que los conductores sean multados por retrasarse en el pago de sus impuestos. Los procesadores de pago del IRS también cobran tarifas adicionales por usar este servicio.

Para garantizar que los conductores paguen sus impuestos a tiempo y no sean multados, ExpressTruckTax ahora ofrece la opción para que los conductores paguen su HVUT directamente desde ExpressTruckTax. En lugar de tener que completar los pasos adicionales relacionados con el pago a través de un procesador de pagos del IRS, los contribuyentes pueden pagar la tarifa para la declaración del Formulario 2290 y sus impuestos HVUT, todo al mismo tiempo. Al utilizar esta opción, hay una tarifa de procesamiento bancario que se aplica al momento del pago. Una vez que el conductor paga a través de ExpressTruckTax, el formulario de impuestos y el pago se envían al mismo tiempo y los contribuyentes ya no tendrán que preocuparse por ir a un sitio externo e ingresar toda su información nuevamente u olvidarse de pagar por completo.

Pagar a través de ExpressTruckTax ahorra tiempo y dinero a los conductores. Este nuevo método de pago ofrece una solución integral para que la presentación y el pago se envíen al mismo tiempo y los conductores puedan volver a la carretera sin preocuparse por retrasarse en la presentación o el pago de impuestos. Camioneros, ¿Qué estás esperando? ¡Visite ExpressTruckTax y haga su formulario y pago de impuestos ya!

E-Filing Form 2290 vs Making Your HVUT Payment

Posted on July 28, 2021 by - 2290 efile, E-File Form 2290 Return, HVUT Payment

So you filed your Form 2290 and received your stamped Schedule 1? That’s great!…. but unfortunately you’re not done quite yet.

It is now time to pay the IRS the tax due on your vehicles. You can only make your HVUT payment after your Form 2290 was completed and accepted by the IRS. Filing and paying your HVUT are two different processes, so It’s important that you complete both of them before the deadline. 

When is the Form 2290 due date and when do you have to Pay?

Both the Form 2290 and your HVUT payment are due by the same date, which is determined by your first used month. If you have a vehicle that was used for the first time during the tax year (bought new or used vehicle,etc) then the due date to file and pay would be the end of the following month of first use.

If the truck has been in use since the last tax year, then your due date will be on August 31st!

Even though the filing and payment are due on the same day, it is important that you don’t wait to file and pay. Your Form 2290 must be accepted before the payment is made or the IRS will not be able to process your payment.

Some payment options take a few days or weeks to be sent and accepted by the IRS. Even if the payment is sent on time, if it is not in the IRS’s hands by the end of the due date, then your HVUT will be considered late and penalties will be involved. 

File now to ensure that your Form 2290 will be accepted and that, regardless of the method you choose to make the payment, your HVUT will be received at the IRS on time.

How To Pay Your HVUT to the IRS?

The IRS offers multiple options to make your HVUT payment. It’s important that you understand all these options so you can best determine which form of payment is the best option for you. 

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

Once you submit your Form 2290, the payment method that you checked can be changed, unless you picked the EFW option. So, before you submit your tax return, make sure the payment option that you picked is the one you’re committed to using. 

Why Can’t You Pay the IRS Through ExpressTruckTax?

The HVUT payment must be paid directly to the IRS. ExpressTruckTax does not initiate any of the HVUT payments and cannot accept the tax money. 

When you pay on ExpressTruckTax, you are only paying for the filing fees, not the actual payment. It is important to remember that, even though you received your stamped Schedule 1, you still need to complete the next step and send out your payment to the IRS.
