• The next step is to enter theincorrect VIN and the correct VIN.
• You can make multiple VIN Corrections on the same return.
• When you are done, go through the next screens and note that there is no tax due to IRS as the taxes were paid when you filed the original 2290.
• Although, this service is free with no strings attached, the system will ask that you enter your credit card for verification. This is for the following reasons:
• The IRS wants to make sure the filers are real and who they say they are.
• Since there is no tax, spammers and crooks can simply use this system to overwhelm the IRS
• ExpressTruckTax is a very secure system and wants to make sure that real users are using it and they have a pleasant experience.
• After the credit card is verified, then it is time to transmit the return to the IRS.
• With ExpressTruckTax, it takes less than 5 minutes – day or night to get your corrected Schedule 1.
• You get your Schedule 1 by email and also by fax automatically if you have opted for it.
• During this process, if you have any questions, please call the US based customer support at 704-234-6005.
• Please be reminded that all this is free.
What you can’t do?
• VIN Corrections can be only done for Taxable or suspended vehicles and not for credit vehicles or for prior suspended vehicles.
• When you file a VIN Correction Form 2290, you can’t combine it with claiming credits on the same form.
• The wrong VIN must have been paid for in the original form 2290. Otherwise, the IRS will assign penalties in addition tothe actual tax.
