By creating our free mobile app, we make it easy for truckers to safely and securely file their Form 2290 from anywhere. The ExpressTruckTax mobile app can be downloaded in both the Apple store and Play store for all Apple and Android devices.

When you file with the mobile app, you will receive a notification once the IRS accepts the return. The app will also have your tax amount automatically calculated for you and a copy of the stamped Schedule 1 can be accessed at any time!

The ExpressTruckTax also allows you to take advantage of bulk and unlimited filing options, use prepaid return credits, and add multiple businesses and EIN’s with one account!

Our app was created to give truckers all of the great features that ExpressTruckTax has to offer, from the convenience of their own mobile device!

Form 2290 VIN Checker: A Free Feature from ExpressTruckTax

Posted on August 9, 2021 by - 2290 VIN Correction, 2290 VIN Corrections, E-file 2290 form

The Form 2290 tax season is here and the deadline is only a few weeks away! The deadline to file for 2021-22 is August 31st, 2021.

When filing your Form 2290, it’s important to have all of your information together and ready to go! In order for your Form 2290 to be accepted by the IRS, all of your information must be correct. 

It is especially important that, when you are filing, your VIN is correct. Checking your VIN before you file will reduce the possibility of having an incorrect VIN on your Schedule 1, as well as make the filing process simpler. 

What Is A VIN?

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique number assigned to your truck and is issued by the United States Department of Transportation. It’s important to note that two different trucks will never have the same code.

To find your vehicle’s  VIN, you can find it stated in the registration, title documents, or on the actual vehicle.

When you file your Form 2290, the IRS requires the VIN of each vehicle so the stamped Schedule 1 contains the code for each vehicle. 

How Do I Check My VIN?

ExpressTruckTax offers a free VIN checker to all of their clients. The Form 2290 VIN checker is an exclusive feature that helps to ensure the VIN entered is correct when you are e-filing. 

Ensuring that your VIN is validated before filing reduces the need of having to file an amendment to fix the VIN on your stamped Schedule 1. Every vehicle that is used during the tax period needs to have it’s unique VIN number on a stamped Schedule 1, which proves that the Form 2290 was filed. 

Why Do you need to check your VIN?

The IRS typically does not reject a Form 2290 that contains the wrong VIN, but if the VIN is incorrect, you will have to file a VIN correction amendment to get the VIN changed on your stamped Schedule 1.

As a result of this, it saves you time and money to ensure that your VIN is correct before you submit your form to the IRS. 

It’s also a service provided at no additional cost by ExpressTruckTax, so what do you have to lose?! 

File Your Form 2290 Now!

It’s time to prepare your information and file your Form 2290 now! Have peace of mind that your vehicle’s VIN number is correct.

E-file your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax and receive your stamped Schedule 1 within minutes. Our U.S. customer support team is always happy and willing to help every one of their clients!

Start e-filing your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax here or call the support team at 704.234.6005 for additional assistance. We look forward to helping make this process quick and easy for all of our clients!

What Does It Mean To Be An IRS-Authorized E-File Provider?

Posted on August 3, 2021 by - E-file form 2290, IRS authorised e-file provider

This year’s tax deadline is less than a month away! It’s time to file your Form 2290, but you may be wondering “Which Form 2290 e-file provider should I use?”

Regardless of which provider you use to file your Form 2290, it’s important that you make sure they are an official IRS-Authorized E-file Provider.

What is an IRS-Authorized E-File Provider?

The IRS-Authorized E-File Providers are tax software providers who are accepted into their nationwide electronic filing program by passing rigorous security testing. 

These programs that are authorized by the IRS are Electronic Return Originators (ERO) who are able to return the tax forms straight to the IRS.

Why is it important to be an IRS-Authorized E-File Provider?

It’s important to make sure your E-filing provider is authorized so you have peace of mind that the form is securely filled directly with the IRS.

Although these programs have been IRS-authorized, the IRS does not actually endorse any of these individual programs. As a result of this, it’s important to conduct your own research on different e-filing providers to make sure these sites are safe to use.

When looking for the right Form 2290 e-file provider, it’s important that you look at all the features included and the pricing to file your tax return form through them. The IRS suggests filing your Form 2290 online this year because the IRS is facing heavy delays due to the pandemic.

Why Choose ExpressTruckTax?

ExpressTruckTax is proud to be one of these IRS-Authorized e-file providers and we guarantee that you will receive your stamped Schedule 1 within minutes!

With pricing starting at just $9.90 for a single vehicle, our low price and great features make ExpressTruckTax the best choice.

Some of these features the ExpressTruckTax offers to our clients includes  free VIN corrections, ExpressGuarantee, Instant Error Checks, Bulk Upload, and much more!

For more information on ExpressTruckTax, or to get started today, visit ExpressTruckTax.com or contact our US Based Support Team in Rock Hill, SC at 704-234-6005 for additional assistance.

Don’t Wait! Why You Should File Your Form 2290 Now And Not Later

Posted on July 30, 2021 by - Avoid IRS penalties, E-file form 2290, HVUT Payment

August is only a few days away, which means the Form 2290 deadline is only a month away! 

You may be thinking that a month is more than enough time to file and pay your tax return, but why risk it? No one wants to deal with penalties and additional charges.

Although e-filing your Form 2290 can be a relatively quick process for some, that may not always be the case. One simple mistake could cause the return to be rejected by the IRS, and if you didn’t file ahead of time, it may delay the processing long enough to have to face these unwanted penalties.

As Long As I File Before The Due Date, I Won’t Have Penalties? 

Maybe, Maybe not. 

If your information is correct and your HVUT payment goes through, then yes. But, if the form is rejected or the payment isn’t able to be withdrawn in time, then you will still face penalties. 

So is waiting until the last minute really worth that risk?

What Will Cause My Form 2290 To Be Rejected? 

There could be many reasons why your Form 2290 could end up rejected. Some of the most common errors found on Form 2290s include inputting an incorrect Routing Transmit number, an EIN and Business name that do not match, and already having a duplicate accepted return.

 If the IRS does reject your form, ExpressTruckTax will send you an email explaining why the Form was not accepted. This email will also explain the exact step-by-step process on how to fix the error. 

Once you address and correct the error, ExpressTruckTax allows you to resubmit your IRS Form 2290 as many times as needed until it is accepted, at no additional charge. 

What Penalties Will You Face If Your Form 2290 Isn’t Processed And Paid Before The Deadline? 

No one wants to pay penalties with their hard-earned money, especially when these fines could have easily been avoided. 

If your Form 2290 is not processed by the IRS, and they do not receive your payment on time, be prepared to find yourself face-to-face with high penalties and interests. 

Late Form 2290 Penalties and Interest

  • You will receive a penalty of 4.5% of the total tax amount due. This will be assessed monthly for up to 5 months if the Form 2290 is not filed within the given deadline. 
  • If your HVUT was underpaid, a monthly penalty of .5% will be charged from the total tax due as a result of the underpayment. 
  • An additional interest charge of .54% will be accrued per month.

If your Form 2290 or payment is late, the IRS will send you a letter to notify you about the return and the penalties. 

Don’t Risk It! File Your Form 2290 Today!

If you want the peace of mind that your Form 2290 is filed, accepted, and paid, then it’s important to file as soon as possible! That way, you won’t have to worry about penalties!

This year’s tax season deadline is August 31st! File your Form 2290 now with ExpressTruckTax and receive your stamped Schedule 1 within minutes. 

To start your Form 2290, click here or call 704-234-6005 to get in contact with our U.S based support team, who are always happy to help you!

Form 2290 Amendments: What Are They And How Do You File?

Posted on July 19, 2021 by - 2290 Amendment, 2290 Amendment Online, Form 2290, HVUT Payment

Now that the 2021-22 tax season is here, it’s time to file your Form 2290! Getting all your information together and filling it in correctly can be a hassle, especially when you’re in a hurry. 

We understand that people make mistakes, so ExpressTruckTax offers amendments for the Form 2290, just in case a mistake is made!

Why File an Amendment?

If you made a mistake on your Form 2290, then it is important to file an amendment in order to fix the mistake made. 

By filing an amendment, you won’t have to fill out and submit a whole new Form 2290. Amendments are quick and easy to submit to the IRS compared to having to file a whole new Form 2290.

After you make a mistake or need to update your information on the Form 2290, check the list of amendments that are offered before starting a new Form 2290.This could save you a lot of time and money!

What Amendments does ExpressTruckTax offer?

There are 3 different amendments thats you can file for your Form 2290:

  1. Vin Correction

Your Vin (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17 character identification sequence, so it’s easy to make a mistake and mess up a digit or two. If this happens, it’s important that you file for a Vin Correction on your previous return. 

Below is the Step-by-Step instructions to file for a VIN correction: 

  • Log in to your ExpressTruckTax account.
  • Click on “Start New Return”, then select “VIN Correction” under “Form 2290 amendment.”
  • Choose whether you are filing a VIN correction for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide your tax year information, old VIN, and the corrected VIN.
  • Complete the rest of the return and transmit it to the IRS.

(If you have filed your original return with us, the data from the original return would be auto-updated in the VIN Correction Form and you do not have to pay for the return.)

  1. Increase in Taxable Gross Weight

If, during the tax year that you filed Form 2290 for, the weight of your vehicle is increased and is placed into a different weight brackett, you will need to file a Taxable Gross Weight Amendment. 

To file a Taxable Gross Weight Amendment with ExpressTruckTax, follow these steps: 

  • Log in to your account.
  • Click on “Start New Return”, then select “Taxable Gross Weight Increase” under “Form 2290 Amendments”.
  • Choose the Taxable Gross Weight Increase Amendment option for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide the vehicle information and increased taxable gross weight category (Your adjusted HVUT for the remaining year will be calculated automatically.)
  • Check your return and transmit it to the IRS.
  1. Mileage Exceeded

If you filed for a suspended vehicle for the tax return, but the vehicle went over the 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles), then you must file for a Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment. 

To File a Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment, follow the instructions below:

  • Log in to your account.
  • Click on “Start New Return” and select “Mileage Limit Exceeded” under “Form 2290 amendment.”
  • Choose whether you are filing Mileage Limit Exceeded Amendment for a return that was originally filed with us.
  • Provide the required information about your vehicle.
  • Your adjusted HVUT for the remaining year will be calculated automatically based on the vehicle’s weight category.
  • Check your return and transmit it to the IRS.

When Can I not file an Amendment?

Amendments are there for minor mistakes that are easy to make, like getting one number wrong on your VIN or not estimating your mileage correctly. Amendments cannot be used if larger more substantial errors occur. 

If you get important information completely incorrect, like your name, address, or the completely wrong VIN, you must file a Form 8849 in order to void your previous Form 2290, then you will need to re-file a Form 2290 with the correct information. 

Why File your Amendments with ExpressTruckTax? 

 ExpressTruckTax offers all three of these amendments to their users. 

If you filed the original Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax, our program will automatically fill in most of the information that was given in the original return.

We make filing amendments easy and you’ll be able to check the status of your correction while it’s being processed. 

Also, if you filed the original return with ExpressTruckTax, your VIN Correction Amendment will be free of charge! We understand how easy it is to mess up a 17 digit code, so we don’t want our clients to be penalized for a simple mistake!

File Form 2290 and Amendments Now!

If you haven’t filed your Form 2290 with us, now is the time to file! The 2021-22 tax season is open and its time to file and make your HVUT payment!
