Here at ExpressTruckTax, we want to make sure that you can deal with your heavy vehicle use taxes as quickly as possible! That’s why we offer our “Ready Return” feature.
Ready Return allows those who filed with ExpressTruckTax last year to fill and file their Form 2290 for 2020 in a single click!
Here are two questions to ask before you’ll be able to create a Ready Return.
Did you file Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax last year?
In order for us to populate your Form 2290 for 2021 automatically for you, we’ll obviously need your information.
The magic of single-click filing is only possible if you filed 2290 with us last year. And unfortunately, we don’t have a time machine (trust us, we’re working on it), but we do have the next best thing.
We have a 2290 e-filing process that only takes a few minutes anyway! Just enter your business details, truck information, and you’re practically done!
Do you have the same truck as last year?
For the easiest filing experience, you’ll need to be using the same truck in the same weight class as last year. That way, we can just copy and paste your information.
However, if a small detail about your truck has changed, you can always edit your Ready Return before filing.
ExpressTruckTax has been shaking up and innovating the e-filing industry for the last ten years. Since launching in 2010, ExpressTruckTax has been an industry-leading, IRS-authorized, Form 2290 e-file provider.
We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of truckers and processed over $1.6 billion in excise tax payments. ExpressTruckTax has been successful because we care deeply about the trucking industry. Our singular focus is on making trucking taxes easier.
That’s why we haven’t stopped innovating for the last ten years. Many cheap knockoffs have sprung up, riding our coattails and copying our innovative solutions. But don’t be fooled.
Here’s how we’ve innovated the e-filing process since 2010.
ExpressTruckTax leads the pack by staying current with the latest changes in internet technology, including:
Fully mobile site
ExpressTruckTax launches a fully mobile website well before smartphones become the preferred devices they are today.
One-Click Login
ExpressTruckTax clients can log in with Facebook or Google to start filing in seconds.
Contextual help and video guides with clear instructions appear throughout the filing process.
Quick Credits
While users file their Form 2290, ExpressTruckTax identifies potential credits and help taxpayers quickly and easily file Form 8849. An IRS Form 8849 is automatically generated when tax credits exceed the amount of tax due.
ExpressTruckTax adds “TruckZone”, a virtual garage that allows users to store information about their trucks for later use. Returning clients no longer need to manually enter truck information year after year.
SPAN Enterprises improves all of its trucking products, including ExpressTruckTax, TruckLogics, ExpressTruckTax Plus, and ExpressIFTA by bringing the entire support team under one roof. All that trucking Industry knowledge and expertise are shared among the support team.
2017
ExpressTruckTax partners with DMVs across America to verify Schedule 1s for clients. ExpressTruckTax also helps more than 100 of the largest carriers in the nation simplify the HVUT process for their drivers by providing them with Form 2290 portals.
2018
ExpressTruckTax makes the Form 2290 web application entirely accessible from a mobile browser. Clients no longer need the mobile app to file, they can simply use their built-in smartphone browser to file from anywhere — even their truck.
2019
ExpressTruckTax speeds up the e-filing process even more by introducing the “ReadyReturn” feature. ReadyReturn automatically generates a Form 2290 for the current tax year based on last year’s Form 2290 information.
This year, ExpressTruckTax allowed truckers to file their 2020-21 Form 2290s earlier than ever before. We know this has been a tough time for many in the trucking industry, so we wanted to give everyone a chance to get ahead of the curve and beat the IRS peak season rush.
We are also working with more partners than ever, so drivers for almost every major fleet and members of almost every major trucking association can file quickly and easily.

Don’t end up blindsided. Filing IRS 2290 for 2020 by the 2290 deadline is critical, not only to stay compliant but also to remain in operation and avoid fines.
Still not convinced? Don’t wait around until the end of August to find out for yourself, we’ll tell you what will happen right now. Here’s a rundown of what exactly what happens when you miss the IRS 2290 deadline:
What Happens If You Forget About IRS 2290?
IRS 2290 Deadline
Normally, the annual IRS 2290 deadline is August 31st.
We’re off to a good start. You’ve got a couple more days to file than normal.
But you’re busy. What if you still can’t find the time or motivation?
IRS 2290 Penalties
Here’s some motivation:
If you miss the IRS 2290 deadline, you’ll face penalties. Let’s say you simply forget to file.
First, you’ll need to pay the IRS 2290 late filing penalty, which is 4.5% of the total HVUT 2290 tax amount you owe.
Then, you’ll face an additional .54% of interest each month that passes without you filing.
On top of that, you’ll still have to pay the original HVUT 2290 amount you owe whenever you do file.
If the reason for late filing was an error on your original IRS 2290 return, you may be able to avoid penalties altogether. You can attach an explanation to your corrected IRS 2290 for 2020 filing, showing reasonable cause for the delay.
Even this, however, does not guarantee that the IRS will accept your statement and save you from the penalty.
Avoiding Form 2290 Penalties
There’s an easy fix for avoiding IRS Form 2290 penalties: File HVUT 2290 before the 2290 due date!
The Form 2290 deadline is usually August 31.
You really have no excuse not to file on time. Especially with ExpressTruckTax as an option.
ExpressTruckTax allows you to file IRS 2290 for 2020 online quickly and easily.
Plus, you’ll get your Schedule 1 just minutes after you’ve submitted your return. It doesn’t take long, and you can file from anywhere. Knock it out today and forget about the IRS 2290 due date until next year.
