Delays in Receiving Paper Filed Returns & Upcoming Pro-Rated Deadline for vehicles first used in August

Electronically filing returns has always been a savior to many, and with all the ongoing delays and unprecedented circumstances receiving much needed Stamped copies is the need of the hour. As the tax season has come to an end and with the COVID situation weakening we at TaxExcise.com would like to keep you informed about a few recent updates. The Internal Revenue Service has sent a notice to states regarding a delay in processing Form 2290 payments. The notice stated that due to the ongoing situation taxpayers who filed a paper Form 2290 to report and pay the highway use tax for the current tax year period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, can expect a significant delay in receiving their IRS-stamped Form 2290 Schedule 1. This means owner-operators and businesses alike who paid by check won’t be getting their Schedule 1 proof anytime soon.

Though there is a delay, filers and preparers alike who have mailed in payments and filed through paper can still breathe a sigh of relief. Any documentation such as a photocopy of the check or any proof of already payments can be used by truckers who are needing to renew the registration of a vehicle during July, August and September. For further detailed information filers who filed through paper can also visit https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue
