Happy New Year from ExpressTruckTax

Here at ExpressTruckTax, we would like to wish truckers an amazing New Year! We hope that you get to spend time with your families during this time either at home or watching fireworks. If you are on the road during this celebratory time, make sure to stay safe. 

It is a holiday so expect there to be more traffic on the roads along with possible delays. If your route takes you up north, be mindful of winter weather conditions that might affect visibility and roadways. Make sure that you stay alert to your surroundings and keep your distance from other vehicles on the road. Pack warm clothes and other winter gear and make sure to stay warm. 

It is also important to keep in mind that the IRS e-filing system is currently shut down for maintenance until January 12th. If you transmitted a Form 2290 between December 25th and now it is currently on hold. As soon as the e-filing system goes back online you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 once the form is accepted. 

We will be out of the office on Monday, January 2nd to spend time with our families. If you have any questions or concerns please call or email our support team and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Have a Happy New Year!
