Reported An Incorrect VIN On Form 2290? Fix It Quickly & Easily With This Simple Hack!

Posted on May 23, 2022 - 9:23 am by Sandeep

Follow this simple hack to fix an incorrect VIN report on HVUT Form 2290 easily.

Mistakes.

All of us are guilty of doing them.

Some are excused, and some are forgotten.

But if you too are guilty of reporting an incorrect VIN, don’t be.

It’s reasonable.

We’re all too busy focusing on getting the information together. And as a result, it’s plausible to report a vehicle identification number (VIN) incorrectly.

The funny part is that the IRS is probably used to receiving incorrect VINs all the time.

That’s probably why we have the 2290 VIN Correction form, which is specifically meant for correcting VINs.

So, today, let’s take a quick look at fixing an incorrect VIN report easily (without panicking).

Incorrect VIN: How To Fix Your 2290 Reports

Fixing an incorrect VIN begins with fixing your filed 2290 return.

While the “undo” button doesn’t exist in real-life scenarios, we can still “amend” the incorrect reports.

What we essentially mean by this is that in order to fix an incorrect VIN, you’ll need to file a 2290 VIN Correction form.

2290 VIN Correction isn’t exactly a new form, but it must be filed separately.

The form’s purpose is to let the authorities at the IRS know that your previous filings report incorrect VIN(s). It also communicates that the fresh report with the corrected VINs must be considered for regulatory processes.

Before You File 2290 VIN Correction: Verify VINs With Free VIN Check

Double-check your VINs with a free VIN lookup tool.

This is a critical step in correcting or fixing your incorrect VIN reports.

You can use any of the following free tools to check and verify the accuracy of your VINs.

VIN Free Check: https://www.vinfreecheck.com/
VIN Check Info: https://vincheck.info/
VIN Decoder from DrivingTests.Org: https://driving-tests.org/vin-decoder/

Using multiple VIN Check resources will enable you to validate the accuracy of your VINs better.

Quick Tip: If you’re planning on buying a new truck, VIN checks from various sources will help you verify the vehicle details more accurately.

VIN Correction: Analyzing Error Probability

Pay attention to the characters of the VIN.

VIN is a combination of letters and numbers.

Sometimes, the VIN that you have on record and the VIN that you might be searching for, could be accurate.

However, errors happen when you enter incorrect characters.

So, human errors cannot be ruled out.

This is more prominent for filers who enter the data manually.

Incorrect VIN reports are common if you’re manually entering the VINs in the forms, or if you’ve outsourced the form completion work to someone.

Either you or the outsourcing team could have reported the characters incorrectly.

It could be an honest mistake and can be easily fixed with a quick VIN verification.

On the other hand, if you’re handwriting your 2290 forms, look out for characters that can be easily mistaken for the other.

Alphabets:

‘Q’ for ‘O’
‘X’ for ‘N’ or ‘Y’
‘P’ for ‘B’
‘L’ for ‘I’

Numerics:

3 for 8
5 for 6
8 for 6

Quick HVUT Compliance Guide For Trucking Businesses & Preparers

Posted on August 20, 2021 - 9:03 am by Sandeep

A quick guide to help trucking businesses and paid preparers with their 2290 e-files + tips to improve reporting accuracy.

The filing season is one of the most crucial times for businesses. For trucking businesses, however, filing season has paramount importance as noncompliance could mean that the trucking business could be off the road.

Trucking businesses pay hefty fees to licensed CPAs to calculate and prepare their HVUT 2290 returns accurately. While this is a smart move, the reporting or calculation inconsistencies could be further streamlined with an organized approach.

The following guide will help you attain HVUT compliance while ensuring reporting accuracy. Feel free to use this guide in the order of your reporting priorities.

Review Due Dates & Penalties

Before you or your preparer starts working on your e-files, it is essential to understand the timelines you have to work with. For example, you can approach your 2290 returns with a comprehensive viewpoint if you have at least 3-4 months before the due date.

If you’re looking at the due date in a couple of weeks, the process has to be accelerated to meet the compliance requirements before or by the due date.

Do note that the due date for submitting your IRS HVUT 2290 returns is August 31, 2021, for the tax year 2021-2022.

And by the time you come around to reading this guide, you will have very little time to work with it. In such a case, you have to gather all the required information at once before you start entering the information in the forms.

Validate TIN & Business Name

IRS is paying special attention to TIN discrepancies in light of heightened AML/KYC risks. If you’re a licensed preparer working with a number of clients, it is absolutely essential that you verify the tax details of your clients and report the information accurately before you proceed to other steps.

If you do not have a TIN/EIN, you can use your social security number to report your vehicle information on the 2290 return.

Take advantage of the IRS TIN Matching program or accelerate your bulk TIN Matching with Tax1099.

Do note that the IRS reserves its right to reject returns if you report an incorrect taxpayer identification number or employer identification number.

Tax Calculation

The taxable weight of the vehicle, logging status, and the month of first use must be derived clearly before you start calculating the HVUT tax for a heavy vehicle.

Calculate your HVUT tax approximately with our Smart HVUT Calculator for free.

For newly purchased vehicles, the 2290 return must be filed in the successive month after the first use.

For example, if you have started using your new heavy vehicles in March 2021, then you must file the IRS 2290 returns by the end of April 2021.

If the IRS has approved any tax refunds, the refund amount can be deducted from your total tax and the product of that is your tax payable.

Vehicle Weight & Logging Status

A vehicle has to weigh at least 55,000 pounds or more for it to be qualified for HVUT taxes. Since the weight of the vehicle could change due to mechanical and loading changes, the tax burden will also change simultaneously.

The vehicle must utilize the federal highways for it to be qualified for HVUT and if any of your heavy vehicles do not meet the criteria, you can request for suspension of taxes.

The logging status of your vehicle will bring you lower rates of tax. If you have logging vehicles; meaning, if you are utilizing the vehicles for transporting forestry goods, the tax rates will be slightly lower.

VIN Verification

Vehicle identification number plays a significant role when the IRS has to tax your vehicles. If you enter a wrong VIN, the return will be rejected. For this, you have to submit a VIN Correction to report the correct VIN.

Validate VINs here

In the unlikely situation of the IRS accepting a wrongful VIN, the tax burden (no matter how high) has to be borne by your trucking business. However, such instances are pretty rare since preparers and businesses alike go through plenty of paperwork and registration forms to confirm the official vehicle identification number of a vehicle.

If you haven’t started your 2290 e-files yet, you should do so quickly with EZ2290.

Here are a few recommendations made by the IRS to help taxpayers with truck tax compliance.

Businesses are preparing their 2290 truck tax returns as the 2290 deadline is fast approaching. The IRS has officially issued a statement on the 2290 due date, which aims to provide some important clarity for new and old truck taxpayers. The statement is focused on regulatory reporting, tax compliance, and business compliance.

Not sure if you need to file/pay your HVUT taxes? You can take this interactive interview from the IRS to determine if you need to pay and file HVUT tax for your trucks.

These essential compliance practices will help businesses with preparing, filing, and managing their IRS filings and communications.

Furnish The Most Accurate Vehicle Information

Self-employed truckers, fleet owners, trucking businesses, owner-operator trucking businesses, and other registered trucking businesses are all responsible for furnishing the most accurate vehicle, tax, and business information in the 2290 tax returns in good faith. The reported information is used to assess the business compliance status and cross-checks other compliance review protocols.

If the information reported is inaccurate or not in alignment with the reporting requirements, the returns will be rejected for inconsistencies and non-compliance.

It is also important to note that hiding the real information of your business/vehicles is treated as tax evasion and the IRS is free to assess monetary and civil penalties on such individuals/entities and conduct unannounced audits.

To avoid such extreme situations, the IRS advises trucking businesses to follow the 2290 filing instructions and get help from the IRS online assistance resources.

You can also get tax assistance from EZ2290’s support team here at no additional cost.

Review Your Truck Tax Reports

The IRS encourages taxpayers to thoroughly review and validate the information reported before submitting the returns to the IRS. Internal audit processes will help fasten the file acceptance and streamline the verification processes, allowing you to complete your tax obligations quickly.

Multi-level reviews mean multiple checks on the reported information. These internal reviews help you examine the information reported and validate it in accordance with the necessary documentation or records, improving your reporting accuracy.

TIN/EIN verification, VIN Lookup, and vehicle category verifications cannot be missed when reporting heavy vehicle tax information in the federal tax form, 2290.

Verify Your IRS-Authorized E-File Provider

e-Filing methods are recommended by the IRS when a taxpayer has to submit more than 25 forms to the IRS.

If you are e-filing, it is important to ensure that you are filing with platforms or companies that are actually authorized by the IRS.

Check if your truck tax e-file provider is registered with the IRS here and here.

By following this quick step, you will be able to verify your e-file provider and file your returns with them confidently.

IRS 2290 Deadline Is NOT Related To Vehicle Registration Date

The latest statement released by the IRS is alerting the taxpayers on the correlation between the registration date of the vehicle and the IRS deadline. It is essential to note that the date of registration of the vehicle will not change the 2290 filing due date.

Further, if businesses are reporting newly registered vehicles, then businesses have to specify the date on which the vehicle was first used on the highways.

Here’s a quick table to help you understand the due date logic for 2290 HVUT forms.

Expect Delays In Paper File Processes & Expedite Requests For Copies of Schedule 1

HVUT Compliance: How To Re-File Rejected Returns?

Posted on July 21, 2021 - 2:31 pm by Sandeep

How To Re-File Rejected Form 2290 Returns

Learn how to re-file your rejected Form 2290 returns + tips to establish HVUT compliance.

Imagine this; after spending hours and days preparing your 2290 returns, you finally submit your returns to the IRS only hours later, you receive a notice which tells you that your 2290 returns have been rejected citing incorrect information or non-compliance.

Not only have your efforts gone in vain, but you also have to repeat the filing process all over again (depending on the reason for rejection).

And you’re not only worried about re-filing your rejected returns but the pressure is on to report the information correctly and comply this time around.

If you do not address your rejected files, your business will be assessed for neglect and “willful disregard”.

This is a common scenario for a lot of truckers and it happens way more often than one would like to admit.

It is essential to understand that your 2290 returns can be rejected for any of the following reasons.

Incorrect VIN
Incorrect TIN/EIN
Incorrect First Use Month (FUM)
Incorrect Mileage Usage
Non-Compliance Citations

However, rejected returns can be addressed according to the severity of the citation raised by the IRS

If you have filed your returns in bulk, then you have to spend even more time correcting your returns and submit them.

So, let us take you through the process of re-filing rejected 2290 returns after addressing the issues cited by the IRS.

Incorrect VIN

If you have reported incorrect VINs on your 2290 returns, your returns will be rejected by the IRS. VIN is a unique identification number designated for every vehicle. VINs are used by the IRS to track the tax history associated with the number.

If you have reported incorrect VINs on your 2290 returns, you can file a Form 2290 VIN Correction, which is exclusively used to address the incorrect VIN reporting.

After providing the necessary business and tax information, enter the correct vehicle identification number of the vehicle.

But before you enter it, be sure to verify and validate the VIN to ensure that you are reporting the correct VIN.
Try these (1, 2) authorized VIN validation tools to search and verify your VINs.

Incorrect TIN/EIN

If you have reported an incorrect TIN or EIN or if you have reported a historic TIN/EIN that no longer holds validity, then your 2290 returns will be rejected.

TIN or EIN is a unique business identification number that is used by the IRS to track the tax and compliance history of the businesses.

When you enter a TIN/EIN in any of the returns, the IRS checks the TIN and the name associated with that number against its own records to validate the details.

If the provided TIN/EIN does not match the records, the IRS will reject the returns.

To counter this issue, you can follow a quick real-time TIN Match regime, which helps you acknowledge the TINs or EINs that are valid and good, and the ones that are not.

You can use Tax1099’s Real-Time TIN Matching program to validate your TINs.

Do note that the IRS assesses severe penalties for each TIN discrepancy.

Incorrect First Use Month (FUM)

The IRS will check your returns and your seller’s returns (because hey! Everyone is filing their returns to the IRS).

Since vehicle purchases are asset purchases, the transactions will be reported on Form 8949, which reports all capital assets.

Most likely, your seller will also file their 1099 forms to show that they have made some gains by selling their asset.

This information will be checked by the IRS to validate the transaction.

If you have reported an incorrect or wrongful month of first use, your returns will be rejected for false reporting and tax evasion.

To avoid this, report the correct month of first use.

Let’s say that you bought the vehicle in January 2021 and started using the vehicle in February 2021 then you must enter Feb 2021 in your returns.

Incorrect Mileage Usage

Trucks use the federal highways primarily for transporting heavy shipments.

Each highway vehicle is given approximately 5000 miles per year, and 7500 miles if it’s an agricultural vehicle.

The more miles your vehicle uses, the more it is utilizing the federal highways, which causes wear and tear and damages the roads.

This is why the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) introduced the HVUT bill, which enforces the trucking businesses to pay more taxes if they are exceeding the mileage limit.

If you have exceeded your miles and did not report the additional miles on your 2290 returns, your forms will be rejected and penalties may also be assessed per each violation.

To address this, all you have to do is report the current miles utilized by your vehicle in a tax year. You can use our free smart tax calculator to estimate the HVUT tax you owe on each vehicle according to its weight, logging status, and miles.

Non-Compliance Citations

Noncompliance comes in many forms and businesses are mercilessly audited if the IRS notices that the business is involved in tax evasion and fraudulent activities.

When the IRS rejects your HVUT 2290 returns citing noncompliance, the issue cannot be taken lightly.

Businesses that are issued a non-compliance notice are under the radar for tax evasion, defying workplace safety norms, fraud, unverified resources and documentation, criminal history, and other violations.

If you have a poor history of filing returns or paying taxes, or if you do not have substantial evidence to support the lack of will to file your taxes and pay them, the IRS may penalize your business for each such violation.

Usually, the IRS issues a notice before it assesses a penalty. And when that notice is also disregarded, the IRS will track down the founders, executives, and other personnel.

To say the least, noncompliance costs businesses a hefty check (1,2,3,4).

HVUT tax funds are one of the largest revenue-generating sources for the FHWA. These funds are spent on constructing and maintaining the federal highways. These funds are also spent on related welfare activities.

Trucking businesses that want to stay on the road and do not want to risk losing their businesses to non-compliance must file their HVUT returns and related business tax returns on time.

Online Help To eFile 2290 Amendments

Essentially, you are required to file a 2290 Amendment when you have to report an increase in the taxable gross weight of your vehicle and/or if your vehicle exceeds the mileage use limit.

The change in the vehicle’s weight changes its tax category. If the weight increases, the taxpayer has to report and pay the additional tax for the additional weight.

Similar to the weight, if the vehicle is utilizing the federal highways and exceeding its mileage usage limit, then the additional mileage utility will be taxed.

A 2290 Amendment is a separate form that must be filed by the end of a succeeding month from change to avoid citations from the IRS.

If the vehicle’s weight decreases and falls below the lowest tax category, the vehicle ceases to be qualified for HVUT taxes. In such a case, you must request suspension from HVUT taxes.

Complete HVUT Compliance For Your Trucking Business With EZ2290

Posted on June 23, 2021 - 11:59 am by Sandeep

Learn the best way to ensure HVUT compliance for your business with the IRS-authorized HVUT Form 2290 compliance tool – EZ2290.

Often trucking businesses find themselves in the midst of tax obligations and non-compliance notices. If your business has received at least one IRS notice in the past couple of years, then it’s essential that you pay attention to your tax files and compliance operations. This will help you avoid further notices from the IRS.

Understanding 2290 Hindrances

Accelerating tax compliance is a breeze once you figure out the main culprits that are slowing down your tax processes.

For example, if you’ve been filing a lot of 2290 Amendments or VIN Corrections, then it is pretty obvious that VIN validation and vehicle information reviews need special attention from your end.

With a systemic regulatory compliance tool by your side and a variety of free resources, services, and tax assistance, you can streamline your 2290 tax files and compliance operations sensibly.

Streamlining Your 2290 E-Files

The first thing to do to ensure compliance for your trucking business is to make sure that you are reporting the right information in your tax forms. And for this, you must use VIN Validation and TIN Matching tools.

Practicing these checks helps you ensure the information you’re reporting for all your vehicles and business is correct and valid per the IRS records. If the information is incorrect or historic, you can further update the records by filing a 2290 Amendment and report the correct information.

Vehicle Information & Its Impact On HVUT Taxes

The taxable gross weight of the vehicle and mileage utility determine the category in which your vehicle falls. The vehicle category, period of first use, along with the vehicle identification numbers, taxable gross weight, and mileage usage is reported to communicate to the IRS about the vehicle. These factors are crucial for taxing.

However, you may have to bear some penalties of noncompliance if you underreported or misreported or delayed reporting the information through 2290 returns.

To streamline your 2290 e-files, sign up with IRS-authorized compliance enabling tool like EZ2290. Accelerate your e-files and manage your IRS communications easily with this tool.

Additionally, you can bulk e-File, address rejected files and IRS citations, and get personalized tax assistance for your unique HVUT tax issues.

Addressing IRS Notices & Rejected Returns

The IRS may reject your returns if the information you have reported is not valid or does not match their records. The IRS may also reject your returns if you do not furnish the correct vehicle identification and taxpayer identification numbers.

When rejecting the returns, the IRS will also cite the reason for rejecting the returns and the instructions to accelerate the re-filing process.

However, certain reject citations can be a bit complex to understand and need an expert approach to resolve.

To accelerate the re-file process, you can get in touch with our tax support team and we will review the rejected returns and the reasons cited by the IRS to address the issue and resolve it, helping you re-file at no additional cost.

In extreme cases, the IRS may also penalize your business for late filing or non-filing of Form 2290, or misreporting the information. Such penalties must be paid or settled with the IRS directly with legal help to avoid further penalties and interests.

If the cause of delayed returns is reasonable, the IRS may further reduce the penalties or lean towards a settlement.

Ensuring HVUT Compliance

While tax tools and compliance support can be of great help when streamlining your HVUT e-files, HVUT compliance is something that can be achieved with diligent efforts and a responsible approach.

An authorized e-filing platform like EZ2290 can help you with streamlining your e-files, addressing key non-compliance issues, and reporting accurately.

However, bringing systemic changes to your internal review processes, checkpoints, and an organized schedule for HVUT filing season can further help streamline your compliance operations.
