When I submitted my Form 2290 electronically, If the return got rejected what to do and how to correct it online?
While you report and pay your 2290 taxes online, your return is processed and would be rejected by the IRS for 3 main reasons.

Name Control – The business name and EIN# in the return not matching with the IRS database. Then you would need to enter the name as it is in the IRS EIN confirmation Form. Correct it retransmit it.

RTI invalid – When you choose to pay the taxes using Electronic funds withdrawal and the IRS is not able to debit the back for a wrong routing number. Fix it and resubmit it.

Duplicate Return – The IRS tax system detected that you had already filed a return under the same EIN, for the same tax period, for the same vehicle(s) or the same VIN category. Check your tax return to confirm that you are reporting new vehicles only and that your other information is correct.

Can I claim a refund electronically for a vehicle that was sold, destroyed or stolen during the tax period?
Yes. You can claim a credit for the tax paid on the next Form 2290 you file in the same or next tax period. The credit may not be more than the tax you are reporting on Form 2290. Or, you can claim a refund of the tax paid on Form 8849, Schedule 6, Other Claims. The amount depends on when the vehicle was sold, destroyed or stolen. See the Form 2290 instructions on how to figure your credit.

Can I claim a refund electronically for a vehicle I used 5,000 miles or less during the tax period?
Yes. If you already paid the tax on a vehicle you used for 5,000 miles or less, you can claim a credit on the first Form 2290 you file for the next tax period. Or, you can claim a refund on Form 8849, Schedule 6, Other Claims. However, a credit or claim for this refund cannot be filed until the next tax period.

A credit, lower tax, exemption or refund is not allowed for an occasional light or decreased load or a discontinued or changed use of a vehicle.
