The pre-filing season is in full-force, Trucking Nation! And with great e-filing comes great responsibility. We have been talking all about how-to’s and the benefits of efiling and pre filing, but we have never touched the topic “what to do and not to do” before, during and after the tax season. In short, during pre filing and after the tax season is over.

If you spend a little more time preparing HVUT, you can save yourself from the headache of filing an amendment or correcting a rejected return. And here at Tax2290.com we want to make sure you have everything you need to e-file successfully!

Here are the Do’s and Don’ts of E-filing your 2290!

Do Pre-file:

This Tax2290.com is offering pre-filing for the 2015-16 tax year throughout June! If you choose to pre file form 2290 with us, you are not only done with your HVUT for the year, but you are availing 10% discount on efiling service fee that you pay us.

Once the tax season begins on July 1 2015 and the IRS begins accepting 2290’s, we’ll securely transmit your return for you, making schedule 1 copy available, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Don’t Wait till the last date:

With pre filing available for our customers across the United States of America, why would you want to wait till until the last minute to file form 2290? Well, it is not a good idea! Especially if your return is rejected and you waited until the last minute, you risk missing the deadline. That follows with penalties for not filing on time. So get it done early so you’ll still have time even if you make some mistakes.

Do Maintain Records:

You need to keep detailed records of your trip and mileage, not because is it required, it could also help you in identifying your vehicle as a suspended vehicle. When you file for suspended vehicles, you need to prove that you’re under the mileage limit to the IRS. So it is good keep everything in order, because you never know when you’ll need it.

Don’t Put off Your Trip Sheets Yet:

Like we said, if you plan to file a suspended vehicle, you’ll need proof, and your trip sheets, in addition to being required, help to accomplish the fact. Not to mention that keeping good records is always smart when you’re filing any sort of taxes. So maintain them till the show is over, or you will land up forgetting the exact miles and that can come back to bite you later.

Preparing for HVUT season now can save your sanity later, especially if you’re new to the HVUT game. And the best way to stay prepared for whatever the IRS throws at you is to set up your Tax2290.com account. Right Now!

And here are some of the benefits while you get your account set up ready:

Early Bird Benefits:

  • You’ll save tons of time later!
  • You’ll be less likely to file late and face penalties because you will already have everything you need and know exactly what to expect.
  • You can pre-file your tax return from 8th of June.
  • We’ll send you email notifications reminding you to E-file before the deadline.

How Can I Prepare?

Follow these five steps, and you’ll be set for E-filing success!

  1. EIN:If you don’t have an Employer Identification Number yet, it is the perfect time to register! It takes up to 15 business days for your EIN to become activated, and any tax return filed before your EIN is active will be rejected. So get your EIN now, and you won’t have to worry about it later!

Tip: You can apply on the IRS website for free here and many other ways to apply for an EIN. But whatever you do, beware of internet scams that charge hundreds of dollars for an EIN!

  1. The Name Control: If you already have an EIN and you don’t remember the business name it is registered under? The business name on your taxes must exactly match the name on record with your EIN. This is known as name control. If you are unsure of the exact name associated with your EIN, you can find out by calling the IRS hotline at 1.800.829.4933.
  2. Check your Finance:Once you have your EIN and Name Control, it’s time have a check on the finance and to do that, you need to figure out how much do you owe IRS. If you plan to pay by Direct Debit, make sure you know your bank account number AND routing number (lots of people forget that latter). or make a note of the same and keep it with you while you file, or you can set up an EFTPS account. The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System is cool because it’s free and it allows you to schedule your tax payment up to 120 days in advance. But it takes 5-7 days to register, which is why you should do it now!

    Register for free by visiting http://www.eftps.govor by calling 1-800-555-4477. When you enroll, you’ll need your EIN, bank account, bank routing number, address and name as it appears on IRS documents.

  3. Register/ Log in: It’s time to create your Tax2290 account, the easiest part! Simply enter your user id, Email id and a password of your choice. It’s that simple. It’s completely free to create an account and explore the program, so log-on and start poking around now.
  4. Calculate your TGW:

If you aren’t sure how to calculate your GVW, simply add these three numbers together: 1. The unloaded (tare) weight of the truck, 2. The unloaded weight of the trailer, and 3. The maximum weight of the cargo customarily carried by the truck/trailer.

Other than creating an account or registering with us, you can efile your tax return even before IRS opens its gateways. It is called pre filing at Tax2290.com, starting from 8th June 2015.

Pre filing doesn’t really harm your filed return, or delay your schedule 1 copy. It allows you to file form 2290 online through our servers, submit it to the IRS, but you will be receiving your acknowledgement receipt by the first week of July. You can also enjoy a dash of discount on the processing fee by applying “KICKSTART15” as the coupon code. Plus, you can always count on the Support Team for help getting started! They live to provide top-notch year-round support during the business hours. Call them at 1-866-245-3918 or email them at support@taxexcise.com.
