Whoa, the deadline is here! Your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) Form 2290 due date 2018 is today, August 31st. You are officially out of time to procrastinate! You need to file today to avoid getting run over by major penalties.

HVUT Form 2290 Filing Tips

1. Make Sure You Have Your EIN

You need an EIN or Employer Identification Number to complete your form. It’s how the IRS identifies your trucking business. You cannot file Form 2290 with your SSN (Social Security Number)! If you need to apply for an EIN, you can do so over the phone with our sister product, TSNAmerica.

2. You Can Pay With a Credit or Debit Card

Starting this truck tax season, the IRS is now allowing you to pay 2290 with credit card or debit! Or another option is to pay with direct debit or electronic funds withdrawal, by authorizing the IRS to debit the amount you owe from your bank account. To do this, you will need to provide your bank account and routing number, which can be found on one of your checks.

Or you can pay with the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, where you will create a free account at www.ettps.gov. The amount you owe will be debited from your bank account, but it could take up to 10 days to create your account.

If you want to, you can mail the amount you owe directly to the IRS with a check or money order. Just print your completed 2290-V (your payment voucher) from page 11 of your completed 2290 form and mail it with your payment.
