The 2021-22 tax season is open and in full swing! This means it’s time to file your Form 2290 and make your HVUT payment. 

The IRS offers multiple different ways to make your HVUT payment. It is important to consider each payment method carefully to ensure that your payment makes it to the IRS on time to avoid any late fees. 

This year, the IRS has reopened the ability to pay your HVUT with a Credit/Debit card. This is a reliable way to pay for HVUT payment and have peace of mind that it was sent to the IRS. 

How to Pay the IRS with your Debit/Credit Card

First, make sure that you check the Debit/Credit Card payment option when filling out your From 2290. Please note that you cannot pay the IRS tax payment through ExpressTruckTax. 

Once your Form 2290 is submitted to the IRS, you can go ahead and make your HVUT payment to the IRS. Go to the Pay Taxes by Debit or Credit Card page on the IRS website.

Follow the steps on this page depending on your card type and HVUT payment amount. Be aware that there is also a fee to use your debit/credit card when paying on the IRS site. 

Other Payment Options

If you decide not to pay with a debit/credit card, here are the other options for payment that the IRS accepts:

  • 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 The payment will be withdrawn within 1 or 2 business days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. Mail it to the following address:

Change Payment on Form 2290

Once you submit your Form 2290, you can change the selected payment method ( unless you picked the EFW option) to the IRS. So double-check and make sure that the payment method you choose is the one you use.

ExpressTruckTax knows you need an EIN to file Form 2290

Whenever your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax is due you definitely want to get it in by the deadline to avoid penalties. However, part of making the deadline in time is correctly filing, so your form isn’t rejected.

If your Form 2290 is rejected it’s up to you to file corrections and resubmit it to the IRS by the deadline! If you wait too close to the deadline to file then you might not have time to correct it! So, let’s get your form accepted the first time around. Check out why Form 2290s get rejected so you can avoid making the same mistake.

Why Form 2290s Are Rejected

You Need An EIN To File

You are required to provide an EIN (Employer Identification Number) on your 2290 Form to complete it. An EIN is used to identify your business, so it’s different from your social security number (SSN), which is used to identify you as a person.

You can’t use your SSN in place of your EIN on your Form 2290 or it will instantly be rejected. If you do not have an EIN you can apply for one with the IRS online for free. Just keep in mind that when you apply you will instantly receive your EIN, but it takes at least 2 weeks to become updated in the IRS’s system and your form may get rejected during that time.

Your EIN Needs To Match

The IRS will be checking to see if your information on your Form 2290 matches what the IRS has on file. They will be taking an extra close look to make sure that your EIN matches your business name. If this information doesn’t match then your form could be rejected.

Before you file your Form 2290 you can call the IRS at 1-888-829-4933 to make sure your information matches what they have on file.

Duplicates Are Rejected

During each HVUT period, each VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can only be filed for once. Make sure you carefully enter your VIN on your form so it’s error free. If it matches another VIN by mistake your form will be rejected. If you enter the incorrect VIN, don’t worry. You can quickly correct it for free with ExpressTruckTax.

Also, make sure that you aren’t filing for the previous tax period because that would make your form a duplicate. The current HVUT tax period runs from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018.

The IRS Needs Their Money

Unfortunately, when filing Form 2290 you have to pay the amount of HVUT you owe to the IRS. When e-filing you can pay the IRS through direct debit or electronic funds withdrawal. In order to do so, you must provide your bank account number and routing transfer number (RTN).

If you enter these numbers incorrectly, with even just one number off, the IRS will not be able to retrieve funds from your account and your Form 2290 will be rejected. This information can be found on one of your checks.

Your form will also be rejected if your account doesn’t have enough funds to cover the amount you owe. If your form is rejected due to having the wrong RTN you can edit your form. If you have insufficient funds in your account you can choose a different payment method.
