Things to know/do after filing form 2290

Leave a reply

It’s always a great thing to have filed and paid your taxes on time. By filing form 2290 and paying the applicable heavy vehicle use tax due amounts to the IRS, you have done your part in helping the Federal government maintain good highway roads for your use as well as for the public. The IRS will now perform its duty to forward the collected amounts to the treasury and from there to the respective states for road maintenance activities. While you take your vehicle for official or unofficial outing through the highways from now on, you can be proud of travelling on healthy roads, constructed with your important contribution.

The highway roads will definitely pay off well in return to your tax returns with reduced number of accidents, time and money savings, increased mobility, congestion ease, decreased energy consumption, boosted air quality and so on and on. So, dear filers who have paved way for such a contribution by filing your returns through our IRS authorized e-file software, taxexcise, it was indeed a great pleasure for us to have served you!

You are introduced to two more things now, after having filed and paid your HVUT returns. They are,

Filing Amendments

If you have to make any corrections on the VIN for which you have filed your returns already or if you fall into a new category of increased gross weight from what you had mentioned or if your suspended vehicle increased from the specified mileage numbers, you have to file form 2290 amendment with the IRS. It’s a cake walk, if you are doing it all through us. Choose the option you are entitled to and make the necessary changes, make payments if applicable, transmit to the IRS out of a button click and get your schedule 1 copy within minutes. Otherwise, you will have to experience the difficulties and headaches in paper filing when compared to e-filing.

Claiming refunds

“I have overpaid my tax due to a silly mistake that I have done while filing form 2290“

“Someone has destroyed my vehicle out of vengeance or I don’t know why”

“Who the hell stole my vehicle?”

“What next? I have sold my vehicle off to him!”

“I have used my vehicle less than 5000 miles last year”,

If you hear your mind whispering or screaming any of these or any such kind, it’s high time you proceed to claiming refunds. The IRS is so considerate and understanding of its countrymen that they have such options to support with refunds for the above inferred conditions. For more details related to form 2290 refund claims and when they can be claimed, click here. Thanks to them! And, not to forget, for claiming refunds that you acquire out of filed form 2290s, you have to use our tax8849 schedule 6 (Other claims). You go to tax8849.com and it will guide your pockets to getting filled with your refunded as soon as possible after approval from the IRS.

Last day under extension to file Form 2290 & pay HVUT

Leave a reply

For the little time (just more than half a day may be!) the IRS shut its Form 2290 e-file system on the 31st of August, 2012, they wished that their HVUT return filers and taxpayers shouldn’t face much of an inconvenience. And, extended the due date for filing form 2290 and payment of HVUT 3 days further from the time they got back in action. Half a day has been compensated by 3 days. This has to be appreciated since they want to collect as much as tax possible from the nation’s heavy vehicle user group and give America back the best of roads. It’s not that they don’t have any other work to do or it is the primary source of income for them. We have to see it as ultimately the revenue collected by the IRS is going to be distributed to the states to maintain our nation’s highways, for the convenient & safe running of trucks and other vehicles on them. After all, the IRS officials have to put in more efforts in their daily official chores for the after-filing procedures, as a result of the three days extension period. Like how a trucker will have loads of goods to be delivered in case he takes off for three days. Continue reading →

Important road safety measure for truckers!

Leave a reply

At Tax2290, we are deeply connected with the trucking industry. One is through our online tax e-file software which enables filers of IRS forms like Form 2290, file HVUT with great ease and get their proof of payment very soon after the last step. The other is, having connected digitally with the trucking industry for nearly a decade now, we have kind of become emotionally attached to the industry as a company. And so, the more we are concerned about truck driver’s safety on roads and supporting government and other agencies like FMCSA in improvising the industry as a whole. In that, today we thought we would share one of their most important safety programs to be aware of while sharing the roads with heavy trucks – The No-Zone program.  Its goal is to increase awareness of the No-Zones — danger areas like blind spots, around commercial vehicles, in which cars “disappear” from the view of the truck.

A letter from Tax Form 2290

Leave a reply

From

Form 2290

Internal Revenue Service

U.S. Department of Treasury

Washington, D.C.

 

To

Heavy Vehicle Taxpayers

United States of America

 

Dear taxpayers,

SUBJECT: Extension of HVUT return filing & Payment due date

If you have already written about your heavy vehicles on me and dropped me safely at my home through post or the internet before noon on August 31, 2012, thanks a ton. You can now happily drive your trucks until next June without any legal troubles.

The e-file system at my home in the IRS was shut down for some maintenance activity from 1.00 p.m. on August 31 through September 4, 2012. In order to minimize the impact of inconvenience on affected e-file taxpayers alone, the heads of my family have decided to extend the time for filing me to my home until September 7, 2012. So, for those of you who missed to file me before 1.00 p.m. on August 31, can now do so and pay the applicable HVUT amounts due to my family without any penalty or late fee until the 7th of September, 2012. You can do so at tax 2290 for convenient, easy and fast filing and get your stamped schedule 1 copy within minutes. If you don’t, you have to face the appropriate penalties and interests after the 7th.

I sincerely hope that there are no confusions pertaining to filing me on time now.

 

Yours truly,

Form 2290

P.S. Oh dear paper filers, this isn’t for you. Your deadline was August 31, 2012.
