IRS recent updates on HVUT form 2290 Truck Tax !!

By -

Updated as of September 28, 2011
Congress has passed and the President has signed an extension of the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use tax through September 30, 2012. By November 30, 2011, taxpayers will be required to file Form 2290 for the full year on vehicles first used in July, August, September and October 2011. Although the Form 2290 is expected to be available in late October, the IRS will not provide a stamped (receipted) Schedule 1 until November 1, 2011. In the meantime, you can still pay your 2010 excise tax, get your 2011 tags and register your new or used vehicle.

Paying Your 2010 Excise Tax
IRS e-file is not currently available for the tax period beginning July 1, 2011, but you can still e-file your 2290 tax return for the tax period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Choose the IRS authorized e-file provider that’s best for you.

Getting Your Tags and/or Registering Your Vehicle
You can get your tags for the tax period beginning July 1, 2011. Existing regulations require states to register a heavy highway vehicle when the application for registration is received between July 1 and November 30, 2011. If you have your receipted Schedule 1 for the previous year’s taxable period, in this case, July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, states can accept it as proof of payment.

Registering Your Newly Acquired Vehicle
States must register newly acquired heavy highway use vehicles without proof of tax payment if:
  • you present the original or a photocopy of a bill of sale showing that the vehicle was purchased by the owner during the 150 days before the date the state received the application for registration; and,
  • the vehicle has not been registered in any state subsequent to the data of purchase.

Getting a Copy of Your Schedule 1
If you no longer have your Schedule 1 for the taxable period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, you can call our Excise Tax division at 1-866-699-4096 to get a copy. From Canada or Mexico, call 1-859-669-5733 (not toll-free).

Let’s say, you might enter S instead of the number 5 and is likely to happen with others too.

How to Avoid Collision with Wild Animals on Highway?

Summer is a prime time bringing out the best of the nature and the time when truckers can enjoy while driving. Every bend has something new to offer the trucker. This can also be treated as a stress buster for the truck drivers as they have a hectic schedule to follow. After winter hues, it’s time for truckers to take some steps to ensure they have a safe journey.  Driving on smooth roads and cleaner environment, they are likely to see many different animals: from huge moose to small porcupines. As the summer drops in, many creatures tend to become more mobile and are usually found crossing the road and moving to the other end to find a new habitat. It is different to enjoy a scene like this and most importantly, it is entertaining for the truckers.  However, wildlife and trucks on the road is a lethal mix especially if they run over an animal. It is not only emotionally upsetting but can damage their vehicle to a great extend. Yes, larger the animal, bigger the collision
