FAQ Friday: What is Pre-Filing?

Find out everything you need to know about pre-filing for Form 2290 for 2022-23.

What is Pre-Filing?

Every year starting in May, ExpressTruckTax offers a service known as pre-filing. Pre-filing is a service unique to ExpressTruckTax. When you pre-file with ExpressTruckTax you are able to file your Form 2290 for the upcoming tax year earlier than you can anywhere else. 

When is pre-filing available?

Pre-filing for the 2022-23 tax year started May 16th, 2022, and lasts until June 30th. The reason it only lasts until June 30th is that the IRS starts officially accepting Form 2290 on July 1st. 

Why is it good to file early?

Pre-filing with ExpressTruckTax allows you to beat the rush of everyone trying to file at once causing the IRS to be backed up. The pre-filed Form 2290s will be transmitted to the IRS as soon as they start accepting them on July 1st. 

When do you receive your Schedule 1 if you file early?

As soon as Form 2290 is accepted by the IRS after being transmitted, you will receive your stamped Schedule 1. If you wait to file until after the IRS starts accepting Form 2290 however, it might be several days before you receive your stamped Schedule 1.

With all of the amazing benefits pre-filing it would be great to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity. What are you waiting for? Pre-file your Form 2290 with ExpressTruckTax today and pay your tax later once the IRS accepts it and get your Schedule 1 ahead of the rest!
