What if I don't have an EIN?

Instantly file your heavy vehicle use tax form 2290 for the 2024-2025 tax year

The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is an identification number issued by the IRS to all businesses and is used by them to keep track of the business’ tax reports. It is like a Social Security Number for a business.

 

An EIN is necessary to file your Form 2290. If you do not have an EIN, you can apply for it online. Click here to apply for an EIN online or contact 1-800-829-4933.

Once the IRS processes your request, you will receive your EIN. It will take up to 10-15 days for your EIN to become active.

 

If you don’t have time to deal with the IRS directly, our team of experts from, ExpressTruckTax Plus can get an EIN for you! Call them at (877)520-8640, and they will apply for your EIN on your behalf over the phone.

 

The IRS will reject your Form 2290 return if the EIN you provide doesn’t match the IRS records. So double-check your EIN before you transmit your return to avoid rejection.

 

If you have recently applied for your EIN, the IRS might reject your return because it hasn’t become active yet. ExpressTruckTax has introduced Rejection Assistance Wizard, which helps you fix IRS-rejected returns.

 

This will help you calculate the estimated date of your EIN’s activation. We will also notify you through email to retransmit your return on the estimated date.
