E-Filing
of the tax form 2290 can only be done with the help of an IRS registered and
accredited e-filing partner. Hence, the tax payer has to get himself registered
with an e-filing partner of repute so that no unwanted surprises crop up later.
Once
the taxpayer gets the login details from the e-filing partner, he can login to
their site and create his business profile using the correct spellings of the name
and address. The EIN also has to be provided when creating the profile. After
this, the process becomes remarkably easy as the taxpayer just has to select
the tax period for which the tax needs to be paid and add his vehicle
information. In case of a fleet of 25 or more vehicles, it is mandatory to file
the tax form 2290 electronically.
After
this, the irs e file, requires the taxpayer to fill in
information regarding the payment mode and payment made along with the details
of the bank account number and the bank routing number. The form should then be
checked for discrepancies and mistakes and consequently submitted. On
successful submission of the form, the IRS issues a receipt watermark on
schedule 1 which can be downloaded and printed as proof of submission.
