How to File Your IRS Heavy Vehicle Use Tax
How to File Your IRS Heavy Vehicle Use Tax
Like any other tax, if you don’t pay or file your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Form 2290 by the deadline, you will face fees and penalties imposed by the IRS. However, you don’t have to pay your taxes when you file today. Just be sure to file before the IRS Form 2290 deadline on September 3rd.
For example, the initial penalty for filing late is 4.5% of the tax due, and this accrues on a monthly basis for up to five months. Also, if you don’t pay your tax due you will face .05% of the total amount you owe and an interest charge of .54% per month. That can make the amount you owe quickly skyrocket.
Some authorities will revoke your license if they find out you failed to file before the September 3rd deadline. However, most states are a little lenient towards first-time offenders.
More Time to Fix Mistakes and Prepare
Some people don’t realize that they need an EIN or Employer Identification Number to file. You can get one by applying online with the IRS, but it will take about 14-days to become active. During the 15 days, your form could get rejected! If you wait too close to the deadline before getting your EIN, then you’ll miss it!
Plus, what happens if your form gets rejected for a simple mistake like an incorrect VIN? By pre-filing, you will know sooner if you have made a mistake that you need to correct your form.
Our sister product ExpressTruckTax will let you know if your form is rejected and explain why. You can then make the required corrections and refile for free.
