Starting this year, the IRS will no longer mail you a Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return. Although alternative resources are available to obtain a tax form, you may want to consider filing your Form 2290 electronically. The electronic version of Form 2290 will improve excise tax processing, save personal resources (e.g., time & postage) and reduce preparation and processing errors. Your Schedule 1 is available for printing immediately after your return is accepted by the IRS. E-filing is the fast, secure, easy and accurate way to file returns and pay any tax due. You cannot e-file forms directly with the IRS. Form 2290 must be filed through an approved e-file provider. Select a provider at www.irs.gov/trucker. There is a fee charged to file electronically that varies by provider. Continue reading
