THE DEADLINE FOR FILING INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY EXTENDED TO MAY 17TH.

The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have extended the deadline for filing your taxes by one month, from April 15 to May 17. Since May 15 falls on a Saturday, the date has been pushed back to Monday, May 17. Last year, the IRS extended the deadline by three months, to July 15, but this led many taxpayers and taxprofessionals to miss other quarterly deadlines.

Individual taxpayers may also defer payments for the 2020 taxyear, which are due on April 15, 2021, until May 17, 2021, without penalty or interest, regardless of the amount owed. Individual taxpayers, including those who pay self-employment tax, are liable for this postponement. On May 17, 2021, penalties, interest, and tax additions will begin to accrue on any remaining unpaid balances. Individual taxpayers who pay their taxes by May 17 will be excluded from interest and penalties.

When do we need to file a Form 2290 Amendment?

Hey truckers, let us walk you through few pointers and transfer of knowledge about your HVUT Form 2290 filings. Since HVUT is due every month on a pro-rated basis, we have been frequently asked about corrections on the 2290 if the information on stamped schedule-1 copies mismatches or have got mistakes.
