For those taxpayers who must file Form 2290 for Heavy Vehicle Use Taxes, they can choose to file electronically, via postal mail, or at the nearest IRS office. Although there are several ways to file a Form 2290, the quickest, easiest, and safest way to file it is through an authorized E-File Provider such as ExpressTruckTax.com. When filing through an IRS authorized E-File provider, there are several different payment options. Taxpayers can choose to pay the tax through Electronic Funds Withdrawal, EFTPS, Check, or Money Order. Even though the options to pay by check or money order may be more familiar payment methods and are more easily understood, the options of Electronic Funds Withdrawal and EFTPS may need an additional explanation.
In order to pay by Electronic Funds Withdrawal, you can use either a checking or savings account. You will be required to enter the US Bank Account Number and Routing Number in order for the IRS to Process the payment. This information is typically listed on a check. Once the information is transferred, your payment will be taken from your bank account electronically.
EFTPS stands for Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. EFTPS is a government program that allows taxpayers to schedule Federal Tax Payments electronically. If you select to pay by this option, you are acknowledging that it is your responsibility to send the tax payment to the IRS through the EFTPS.gov website. The E-Filing Program will not send your information to EFTPS.gov, that must be completed by the person filing.
