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!
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. Continue reading
A letter from Tax Form 2290
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.
