Posted on November 18, 2022 by - HVUT Form 2290 Rejection, irs rejection, IRS rejection error message, rejected tax return

What is Form 2290?

Form 2290 must be filed by drivers of vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more to the IRS annually for the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT).

How can ExpressTruckTax help file Form 2290?

ExpressTruckTax is a leading form 2290 e-file provider that allows drivers to file Form 2290 stress-free. The entire process takes only a few minutes. You simply enter your business details including your EIN (Employer Identification Number), your vehicle information including your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), any credit vehicles if you are claiming any, and your payment information. Once this is all entered and submitted, you will receive your Stamped Schedule 1 as soon as the IRS accepts your Form 2290.

Can the IRS reject Form 2290?

Yes, the IRS can reject Form 2290 for a number of reasons. Don’t worry though, even if your Form gets rejected, you are able to resubmit it at no additional cost using ExpressTruckTax.

A Newly Created EIN

If you file Form 2290 with an EIN that has just been created there is a good chance your form will be rejected by the IRS. This is because it typically takes about 10-15 days for an EIN to be active in the IRS e-filing system. At no extra cost to you, you are able to transmit the form once a day until the IRS accepts it.

Wrong Business Name

Entering the wrong business name on Form 2290 is another reason it can get rejected. The business name needs to match the one registered with that EIN. If it does not match the only way to fix this mistake is to file a new Form 2290 with the correct business name.

Wrong Routing Number when you choose to pay with EFW (Electronic Funds Withdrawal)

When filing Form 2290 and selecting EFW (Electronic Funds Withdrawal) it is important to make sure both your routing and account numbers are correct. If you enter the wrong routing number on your Form 2290 it will be rejected immediately. The only way to correct this is to file a new Form 2290.

ExpressTruckTax makes File Form 2290 easy

Even if your Form 2290 has been rejected ExpressTruckTax makes the process of resubmitting or filing a new form easy. If you have a new EIN and need to resubmit, ExpressTruckTax allows you to resubmit your form once a day for no additional cost. What are you waiting for? Want to file your Form 2290 with ease today?

If there’s one thing we know about tax time, it’s how stressful it can be. With deadlines everywhere, it almost feels like you’re racing the clock to get everything done.

Which is why we also know, plenty of filers out there make mistakes. Sometimes it’s the wrong vehicle identification number (VIN), which can go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Of course, sometimes you file and think everything is fine, only to find out your return has been rejected.

So what should you do? Well, at ExpressTruckTax, we make sure that our e-filing customers have a few safety lines in the IRS Form 2290 game.

Free VIN Corrections:

This is pretty straightforward – we have implemented a system that allows our current year e-filers to come back and file a FREE VIN correction. That’s right, free! Trust us, it’s a lot better than correcting your VIN at an IRS office.

If you didn’t file Form 2290, but you need to file a correction, it’s only a small fee using our system. Don’t make that mistake twice!

We also offer Form 2290 Amendments for increase in vehicle weight and suspended vehicles exceeding their mileage.

Audit Check BEFORE Filing

One of the most important features we offer at ExpressTruckTax is an audit check before you transmit Form 2290. Now, this “audit check” inspects your return for any major errors that can keep your return from being accepted.

By reviewing your errors before we transmit, you won’t have your return rejected right off the bat.

Free Re-Filing for Rejected Returns

Alright, so you messed up something BIG and it snick through the cracks. Don’t freak out—you can re-file any rejected returns with ExpressTruckTax.

Not bad, eh?

2290 – seems like the magic number everyone has been talking about since last month, the month before that, this month, and next month.

But a 2290 is something that as a trucker–whether you’re a greenhorn or an experienced road warrior – you should know.

And no, “2290” isn’t code for a rest stop or a crazy four-wheeler switching lanes every ten seconds. It’s a number – by that we mean a tax form – designated by the glorious moguls of the IRS to name the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax that all truckers have to pay each year.

When it comes to filing and paying this tax, there are a lot of options out there.

  • You could stand in a long line at the IRS office, only to get turned away when you don’t have all of the information you need. 
  • You could fill out the form yourself and then mail it, along with your money, to the IRS. 
  • Or, you could use the most-trusted e-file provider of 2290s, ExpressTruckTax, and never have to leave the comfort of your home or truck.

    How To Keep Your Form 2290 From Being Rejected By The IRS

    Posted on March 10, 2014 by - Form 2290, IRS rejection error message, rejected tax return

    The IRS may reject a return for various reasons, but there are 4 main reasons we at ExpressTruckTax run into.

    1. Business Name or EIN does not match what the IRS has on file.

    The Business Name and EIN must match exactly what the IRS has on file. For most owner-operators, your name will be your Business Name because that is what is on your title – it just makes it easier. The IRS no longer accepts social security numbers as an EIN. If you have forgotten what business name or ein that is registered with the IRS, you can call their EIN hotline to find out. Just dial 1-800-829-4933. If you do not have an EIN, you can easily apply for one online at www.irs.gov/businesses/small.

    2. Duplicate filing

    The IRS will only accept one filing for a specific truck, meaning, you can’t file twice for one vehicle. When filing through ExpressTruckTax, you can see what trucks you have filed for already on your Dashboard page. It is best to call the IRS Excise Tax Hotline if you get this error message – the number is 1-866-699-4096.

    3. Bank Routing number is incorrect

    It happens, where you put in a wrong number for your Bank Routing information. The best thing to do is call your bank and make sure you have the correct routing number and compare it to the number you entered into the payment information. You can log into your ExpressTruckTax account an double check the payment information you entered.

    4. EIN has not registered in the IRS system yet.

    If you get a brand new EIN, it takes up to 10 business days to register in the IRS system before you can file. You will get an error message that says your EIN does not match what the IRS has in their system, but that is because it has not been entered into their records yet.

    Before you begin filing your Form 2290 HVUT make sure to have all the correct business information. If you choose to pay by Electronic Funds Withdraw, where the IRS payment comes directly out of your bank account, make sure you have the correct routing and account number.
