IRS Payment Methods for Form 2290
When you file Form 2290 online with
ExpressTruckTax, you’ll follow a step-by-step guide to complete your form in a matter of minutes. Once you get to the IRS payment step, you can choose between 4 different payment options based on the most convenient method for you. Yes, four! We’ve heard you and have added the option to pay your tax with a credit or debit card!
Credit or Debit Card
Starting in July 2018 the IRS will allow you to
pay 2290 with a credit card or debit!
For more information on credit or debit card payments, go to IRS.gov/PayByCard.
Direct Debit or Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW)
Provide your banking information (account and routing number) through ExpressTruckTax’s safe and secure system to authorize the IRS to debit the amount you owe from your bank account. It is important that your account has enough funds to cover the amount you owe.
The amount is generally withdrawn in 24 to 48 hours after providing authorization. Keep in mind that this involves your banking information, not your credit/debit card number.
If you need to cancel your payment contact IRS payment services at 1.888.353.4537 at least 2 days before the payment date.
EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System) is the electronic tax payment system used by the IRS. If you choose this payment option you will be taken to the
EFTPS site, and you’ll create a free account. Please keep in mind that it can take up to 10 business days to establish this type of account.
To pay the IRS through EFTPS, you will provide your bank account information and verify that the IRS is allowed to withdraw your tax payment from that account. In order to make your payment by the deadline, you must schedule it before 8 p.m. the day before the deadline for it to be received by the IRS in time.
Direct Debit or Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW)
You can also pay the amount of HVUT you owe with a Check or Money Order. If you choose this option you will need to print your completed payment voucher, 2290-V, from page 11 of your completed 2290 Form and mail to the IRS by the August 31st deadline.
Make your check or money order payable to the United States Treasury. Also, you will need to include your name, address, EIN, the date, and the words “
IRS Form 2290” with your payment.
Do not staple your payment and voucher together.
Send your payment and voucher 2290-V to:
Internal Revenue Service
P.O. Box 804525,
Cincinnati, OH 45280-4525
Remember, never send cash through the mail.
Important: If you have already paid your
HVUT via Direct Debit or EFW and received a letter from the IRS saying they were unable to debit the funds there are a few likely causes:
- Your account and routing number were entered into ExpressTruckTax incorrectly. Even entering one character incorrectly will prevent the IRS from being able to withdraw the amount you owe.
- The IRS tried to debit your account, but you had insufficient funds. If you are even as little as 50 cents short then the IRS will not debit the funds.
If you receive a letter from the IRS saying they could not withdraw the funds from the bank account provided then you will need to send a check or money order to the IRS in order to pay the amount you owe by the August 31st deadline.
