Form 2290 Due Date For Vehicles First Used After July

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Santamarina Joseph - EIN, express truck tax, First Used month, Form 2290 Deadline, heavy vehicle use tax, HVUT, stamped Schedule 1, Taxable gross weight, VIN

Form 2290 must be filed by the last day of the month following the month of first use. For example, if you purchase and first use a vehicle in January, you must file a Form 2290 by the end of February. Annual renewal of your Form 2290 for a new tax period must be completed by August 31.

Heavy vehicle use taxes are determined by the taxable gross weight and first use month of the vehicle. Vehicles used for logging are subject to lower taxes. If you begin using your vehicle during any month other than July you are liable for a prorated tax amount during that tax period. Our system will automatically calculate your Form 2290 tax based on your vehicle weight and first use month.

All you will need is some basic business information, EIN, VIN and Gross Weight of the Vehicle to complete the return. Then you will transmit the return to the IRS and you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 in just minutes! If you need assistance or have any questions, please contact us our US based customer support team in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 or email us at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.

How to Handle a Suspended Vehicle That is Destroyed

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Santamarina Joseph - 2290 deadline, 2290 e-file, Destroyed Vehicle, ETT+, expresstrucktax, Form 2290, heavy vehicle use tax, HVUT, IRS penalty, sold vehicle, Suspended vehicle, transferred vehicle

When you have a suspended vehicle that is destroyed at some point during the year, how do you report that to the IRS? Since there was no tax paid the previous year, you would not have to report the vehicle as being destroyed to the IRS.

If the vehicle had been sold or transferred, it would then need to be reported as a ‘Prior Year Suspended Vehicle’ that was sold/transferred. You will need the name of the person/business you sold/transferred it to and the date.

If you have a taxable vehicle that was destroyed during the tax year, you would want to make sure that you report that vehicle as destroyed to the IRS for two reasons. First, if you do not report it as destroyed, the IRS will assume you owe the tax on it and you could risk a penalty for not filing. The other reason is when you file it destroyed, you will be able to claim a refund for the months that you had previously paid for, but it was not used.

Our tax experts at ExpressTruckTax can help you with this question and more. Or check out our FAQ’s to find answers to your specific situation. E-File Form 2290 and receive your Stamped Schedule 1 within minutes at ExpressTruckTax.com.
