How to E-file Form 2290 for

New Vehicle?

You must file a new Form

2290 listing only the new

vehicles. You may e-file that

2290 anytime before the last

day of the month following

the month the new vehicle

was first used.



E-File IRS Form 2290 for New Vehicle

If you have already filed your initial 2290 for the current tax year and

need to add another vehicle or have acquired a new vehicle you will need

to create a new form 2290 return with only the new vehicle on it.

You do not need to enter any of the vehicles you have already filed for on

this return, only those you have not filed for yet. The end result should

be that you have separate Stamped Schedule 1from each filing but all

should be current with the filing.

You can still paper file, but the IRS requires anyone filing for 25 or more

vehicles do so electronically and recommends that everyone do so.

Paper: Mail Form 2290 to the address shown under Where to File. If you

did not pay the tax using the Electronic Funds Transfer or Electronic

Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), mail Form 2290-V and your check

or money order with Form 2290. Or you can take your Form 2290 to the

nearest IRS office.

EIN (Employer Identification Number)

Purpose of an Employer Identification

Number

An Employer Identification Number (EIN)is

also known as a Federal Tax Identification

Number, and is used to identify a business

entity. Generally, businesses need an EIN. You may apply for an EIN in

various ways, and now you may apply online. This is a free service

offered by the Internal Revenue Service. You must check with your state

to make sure you need a state number or charter.

How to apply for an EIN?

Applying for an EIN is a free service offered by the Internal Revenue

Service. Beware of Web sites on the Internet that charge for this free

service.

If you are a home-care service recipient who has a previously assigned

EIN either as a sole proprietor or as a household employer, do not apply

for a new EIN. Use the EIN previously provided.

Tax Information

Tax Year

The IRS is now accepting Form 2290 Returns for Heavy Vehicle Use

Taxes for the new 2013 - 2014 Tax Year. Each Heavy Highway Vehicle

weighing 55,000 pounds or more must be filed for on an annual basis

using Form 2290.

The Filing period for this tax begins today, July 1st and ends on August

31st.

Now that the IRS has officially begun to accept these returns

electronically, you can E-File Form 2290 online and receive your

Stamped Schedule 1 in just minutes.

First Used Month

If you acquire a vehicle and use it on the public highways in any month

other than July, you are liable for the tax for the prorated tax period. You

must file HVUT Form and pay the tax by the last day of the month after

the month you first use the vehicle.

If there is an unpaid tax liability for the months before you acquire and

use the vehicle during the tax period, you are liable for the total tax for

the entire period, to the extent not paid. In that case, you must file Form

http://www.expresstrucktax.com/Form2290/IRS-form-2290-due-date



2290 and pay the tax by the last day of the month after the month

notification is received from the IRS that the tax has not been paid in full.

IRS Form 2290 must be filed for the month the taxable vehicle is first

used on public highways during the current period. The current period

begins July 1, 2013, and ends June 30, 2014.

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

A Vehicle Identification Number, commonly

abbreviated to VIN, is a unique code

including a serial number, used by the

automotive industry to identify individual

motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles,

Scooters and mopeds as defined in ISO 3833.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the

United States standardized the format. It required all over-the-road-

vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the

letters I (i), O (o), or Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 1 and 0).

Here is the example

The VIN of your vehicle can be obtained from the registration, title, or

actual vehicle. Generally, the VIN is 17 characters made up of numbers

and letters. Be sure to use the VIN for the vehicle and not from the

trailer.

IRS Payment Options:

Direct Debit or EFW (Electronic Funds Withdrawal)

An Electronic Funds Withdrawal can be from either a checking or savings

account. All that is needed to set this up is a routing number and an

account number.

An exclusive service that Express Truck Tax offers is the option to also

pay the processing fees through Electronic Funds Withdrawal as well.

Most other options require the fees to be paid by credit cards, but

Express Truck Tax offers the ability to pay the taxes and fees for the

account.

EFTPS

EFTPS stands for Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. EFTPS is a

government program that allows taxpayers to schedule Federal Tax

Payments electronically. If you select to pay by this option, you are

acknowledging that it is your responsibility to send the tax payment to

the IRS through the EFTPS.gov website. The E-Filing Program will not

send your information to EFTPS.gov, that must be completed by the

person filing.

Check/Money Order

In order to pay by Check or Money Order, the form can still be filed

instantly online, and a Payment Voucher can be printed and mailed to

the IRS. The last page of the Form 2290 is a 2290-V (or payment

voucher).

Transmit Return to the IRS

ExpressTruckTax.com is a very smart program, it automatically checks

for any errors before you transmit your 2290 return to the IRS, but it’s

always good to double check everything before you hit the ‘Transmit to

IRS’ button.
