Everything You Need To Know About Your Stamped Schedule 1!

Posted on July 23, 2021 by - 2290 stamped Schedule 1, E-file form 2290, HVUT Payment

The 2021-22 tax season is here and the deadline will be here soon! 

Right now, your 2020-21 stamped Schedule 1 is expired! It’s important that you file  a Form 2290 for the current tax season Form 2290 to receive your new Schedule 1.

What is a stamped Schedule 1?

A stamped Schedule 1 is proof of filing for your Form 2290.

The Form 2290 must be filed every year to the IRS in order to make your HVUT payment.

The stamped Schedule 1 that you receive will contain an IRS e-file watermark with the date the return was received and processed along with the information you entered on the Form 2290.

Once the IRS accepts your 2021-22 tax return, you will be sent a stamped Schedule 1, which will expire at the start of the next tax season. You must file the Form 2290 every year to renew your stamped Schedule 1. 

It’s important that the Schedule 1 is stamped because it contains a unique watermark to show that the form is authentic. Without the stamp, the DMV will not accept this document.

Why do you need a stamped Schedule 1?

It’s very important for truckers to have a valid stamped Schedule 1 issued to them!

Trucks must present the stamped Schedule 1  in order to renew their tags, register their vehicles at the DMV, and to legally be able to operate their vehicles on any public highways. 

How do you receive your stamped Schedule 1?

How you receive your stamped Schedule 1 is determined by how you file.

When you e-file with ExpressTruckTax, you will receive the stamped Schedule 1 back within minutes. The Schedule 1 will be sent to you through email as soon as the IRS accepts your return. If you don’t want to receive the Schedule 1 through email, you have the option to receive it through fax or by mail.

If you file your Form 2290 by mail, it may take between 4-6 weeks to receive the stamped Schedule 1. This isn’t a great option when your current Schedule 1 is already expired!

Receive your Schedule 1 Today!

The 2021-22 tax season is here and your Form 2290, along with payment, is due August 31st!

File your Form 2290 today and receive your stamped Schedule 1 within minutes! 

If you have any questions or need any help, our US-based customer service team will be happy to help you!

Get A Sweet Deal With HVUT 2290 When You File Now And Pay Later

Posted on May 11, 2021 by - 2021 Form 2290

Did you know there’s a better way to file your Form 2290 for 2021-2022 Tax Period?

The 2021-22 Form 2290 season kicks off July 1st, but truckers who use ExpressTruckTax can now begin e-filing Form 2290 as early as Friday, May 14, 2021!

Many truckers wait until the last minute to e-file, often causing them to miss the Form 2290 due date. Missing the 2290 due date can lead to a hefty Form 2290 penalty on top of your HVUT 2290 annual fee.

The HVUT 2290 annual fee is calculated by adding:

  • The actual unloaded vehicle weight, fully equipped for service.
  • The unloaded weight of the semi-trailer or trailers, fully equipped in combination with the commercial vehicle.
  • The maximum load weight usually carried on the vehicle, and any semi-trailer(s) used.

What is Form 2290 Filing Like with ExpressTruckTax?

ExpressTruckTax customers can complete their 2290 Form 2021-22 before the start of the regular season. ExpressTruckTax gives customers the chance to file now and pay later.

A huge benefit of this is learning how much is owed in taxes and being able to save up until the HVUT 2290 due date, August 31, 2021! All you have to do to file now and pay later is choose our Pre-File option and pay your HVUT amount by check, money order, or EFTPS.

After completing the Form 2290 process online, customers have the opportunity to opt-in and receive HVUT 2290 due date reminders via email, text, and fax.

Benefits of Filing Your 2021-22 HVUT Form 2290 Now

When you file early, you are being proactive in making sure you are in the front of the line to receive your Stamped Schedule 1! We will transmit all returns filed early to the IRS as soon as they start processing returns on July 1. That means you’ll get your Schedule 1 as soon as possible.
You will also be able to make you HVUT payment any time before August 31, giving you time to save up your funds.
Additionally, by beating the busy season, our US-based customer support team will be able to answer all of your questions instantly! That means no lines and no wait time.

No Need To Wait, The IRS is Processing Form 2290s Again

Posted on January 18, 2021 by - Form 2290

The IRS typically stops processing Form 2290s for a short period of time every year. This year from late December to early January, the IRS briefly put a hold on Form 2290s. 

But now the IRS is back! If you e-file your Form 2290 today, it will most likely be processed today! Be sure to go e-file with us if you haven’t already!

January Form 2290 Deadline

When did you first use your heavy vehicle on public highways during the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) period? Because if it was in December, then your Form 2290 is due by January 31, and that’s only a little over a week away.

If you need to file, luckily you have ExpressTruckTax to help you complete your form in a matter of minutes online. However, we go beyond e-filing. We’re also here to share important Form 2290 information so you will always know exactly when you’ll need to file. Check out these HVUT deadline tips.

Was December Your First Used Month? Then File Your 2290 

You file 2290 online based on the month that you first use your heavy vehicle on public highways during the tax period. This is so you won’t pay for the months that your truck wasn’t on the road.

The HVUT period runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year and you have to file by the last day of the month following your first used month. That means if you first used your truck in December then you need to file by January 31 or you will have penalties to face.

Because most people first use their trucks in July, when the HVUT period begins, August 31 is a major deadline day. Filing your Form 2290 is incredibly important because the taxes collected are used to repair, maintained, and build public roads.

As a result of filing, you will get a copy of your stamped Schedule 1, which serves as proof of filing and paying your HUVT tax. This form is actually needed to renew your tags and to complete your IRP return.

HVUT Penalties

If you fail to file by the deadline you will have expensive penalties to face. For example, for failing to file by the due date you will face a penalty of 4.5% of the total tax due. This amount will accrue on a monthly basis for up to five months.

Plus, if your HVUT payment is late or doesn’t fully cover the amount you owe you will face an additional penalty of 0.5% of the total amount due. Also, there is an additional penalty of .54% as well.

But worst of all, if you don’t file you won’t have a copy of your stamped Schedule 1, which is required by the DMV so you can keep legally operating. Don’t get parked, file by the deadline with ExpressTruckTax.

E-Filing With ExpressTruckTax

We have streamlined the e-filing system to make it incredibly quick and easy. You don’t have to download anything or head to the IRS office. Simply create your free account and follow the step-by-step instructions to instantly complete your form and transmit it directly to the IRS.

Our instructions explain what information is required to complete your form and where it needs to be entered. Plus, our internal audit check will scan your 2290 form to catch any basic errors before it’s sent to the IRS.

As a result of filing with us, you will receive a copy of your stamped Schedule 1 in about 15 minutes via email.

Best of all, our live, US-based support team is ready to help. If you have any questions call us at 704.234.6005 Monday – Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM EST. We also offer live chat and 24/7 email support at support@ExpressTruckTax.com.

What to Know Before You Choose an HVUT 2290 E-file Provider

Posted on July 30, 2020 by - Form 2290 Authorized e-file Provider

Choosing a Form 2290 e-file provider can be difficult. With all the scams out there, we all have to be super careful with our information. But if you follow a few simple rules, you can make sure you’re e-filing safely and efficiently.

When looking for an e-file provider, the checklist below will help you make the right choice. Make sure your provider follows all the rules listed, and if they don’t, find another one that does.

Here’s the checklist your Form 2290 e-file provider should follow:

1. Is Your Form 2290 E-file Provider Authorized by the IRS?

First of all, your Form 2290 e-file provider should be IRS authorized. The easiest way to find out whether or not they’re authorized is to check the IRS list of 2290 Modernized e-File (MEF) Providers. 

Here at ExpressTruckTax, we have an excellent relationship with the IRS. In fact, our programmers have years of experience building backend systems for them. And we still work closely with the IRS to make sure our software reflects the most current e-filing requirements. 

2. How Do They Send Your Return to the IRS?

Next, you need to know how your e-file provider will send your return to the IRS. Do they mail it? Send it directly? How does it get from point A to point B for successful e-filing?

At ExpressTruckTax, we transmit your HVUT return electronically to the IRS for you. That way there are no long wait times for snail mail. The whole process is secure, and your return reaches the IRS in a matter of seconds.

3. How Do You Get Your Stamped Schedule 1?

Getting your Stamped 2290 Schedule 1 is important. You need a stamped Schedule 1 as your proof of filing so you can renew your heavy vehicle registration. So you need to know how your e-file provider will transmit this form to you. Will they mail it, or will they send it electronically?

With ExpressTruckTax, you will get your IRS watermarked 2290 Schedule 1 by e-mail as soon as the IRS accepts your return! Plus, we can fax it to you, send you a notification via text, and even email it to your carrier. And to top it all off, if you need a physical copy sent by mail, we can do that too!

Make sure your e-file provider has more than one option for you to receive your Stamped Schedule 1. They should be working for you and not the other way around.

4. Does Your 2290 E-file Provider Offer USA-Based Support?

You definitely want your e-file provider to offer US-Based support. Sometimes you need your questions answered immediately.

At ExpressTruckTax, our bilingual support team is legendary. They’re here all year round to help you. We don’t believe in “seasonal support,” we believe in having people who can answer your questions about HVUT from tax season to tax season.

And to make things even easier, we offer 24/7 emergency email support. 

ExpressTruckTax

As you can tell, we are proud to say that ExpressTruckTax is one of the few e-file providers that meet every specification on this list. And we’re partnered with some of the largest trucking associations and companies in the nation.
