Say no to Paper Filing Says, the IRS & Think Trade Inc!

TaxesFew years back, The Internal Revenue Service announced that they will not be mailing Form 2290 Package to Federal Excise tax Form 2290 taxpayers. This initiative was taken to encourage electronic filing (E-filing). Although the IRS has mandated Trucking Companies with 25 or more Heavy Vehicles to e-file, the IRS actively encourages everyone Trucker to file the Form 2290 electronically. The IRS has legitimate reason to do this because filing electronically is the quickest, easiest, and safest way to file tax returns.

Fortunately, it has become incredibly easy to Efile Form 2290 or other Tax forms associated with the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) such as Form 8849 Schedule 6. All you have to do is log on to www.Tax2290.com and start filing. You can file your for Form 2290, 2290 Amendments, Form 8849, Form 720, and Prepare your Fuel Tax report (IFTA) through www.taxexcise.com. Continue reading

Decoding IRS Tax Jargon – “Suspended Vehicles”

TaxesIRS tax Jargon’s are pretty complicated to decode, today let’s throw some light on the term “SUSPENDED VEHICLES”.  Taxpayers mostly get confused with the term Suspended vehicle, reason is very simple as per their understanding they think it means any vehicle that they take out of service is defined as suspended vehicle. That’s absolutely incorrect. So what does it mean?…

SUSPENDED VEHICLE: As per the IRS the term Suspended vehicle means, vehicles that are suspended from taxes in other words tax exempt vehicles. Any heavy vehicle with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or above needs a Form 2290 filed for it by its respective owner. But the IRS has defined some distance speculations to determine whether the vehicle is taxable or Suspended (Tax Exempt). Continue reading

E-File Your Excise Tax Form 2290 On Time Online!

TaxesPunctuality is a very important word in a Truckers Dictionary. Once I heard a 15 years experienced Truck Driver say “I’m a little trucker and trucking’ is what I do best. It’s what I want to do with my life, and that’s how I’ll be. Driving down the highway, carrying what someone will eat or need tomorrow makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.”

I would say “IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCKER BROUGHT IT”. There is always trouble waiting if there is a delay, be it anything.  Everyone in trucking business is well disciplined and has to follow a strict schedule. Continue reading

Excise Tax Form 2290 deadline, Mid Month Alert!

images“Death, taxes and childbirth! There’s never any convenient time for any of them.” – True that. All three come at the most inconvenient times, But the Government does a favor by letting us know about the deadline to file our Taxes. Information is wealth, definitely right but if we do not act on time to known information then it is useless.

Good intentions often get muddled with very complex execution. The last time the government tried to make taxes easier; it created a 1040 EZ form with a 52-page help booklet, funny isn’t it? Trucking industry is one of the busiest industries that need almost every employee working round the clock. A Trucker on an average spends 75% of his entire life on the road, away from his/her family. They are determined to make timely deliveries, keep their vehicle fit & fine and so many other things to take care of. Continue reading
