What does it cost to e-file Form 2290 here?

$4.50 per truck, capped at $18 per fleet, for a first filing. A returning customer renews for $1 per truck, capped at $10. An amendment is $10, a VIN correction is free, and a final return is free for a returning customer ($4.50 otherwise). The federal tax itself is paid to the IRS, never to us.

When is Form 2290 due?

The tax period runs July 1 to June 30. A truck first used in July is due August 31; a truck first used later is due the last day of the month after it was first used.

How fast do I get my stamped Schedule 1?

Usually within minutes of the IRS accepting the return. It is emailed to you, and it is the proof of payment states ask for at registration.

Can I file in Spanish?

Yes. Every step of the Form 2290 flow is in English and Spanish; the return that reaches the IRS is the same either way.

What if I sold a truck or drove under 5,000 miles?

Claim the Form 2290 credit on Form 8849 Schedule 6 (CRN 365), which you can e-file here for $5.

How will you pay the IRS?

This is how you pay the IRS tax above — separate from Gideon's filing fee. Pick whichever is easiest for you.

EFTPS (pay separately on EFTPS.gov)You log in to EFTPS.gov on your own and schedule the payment. Free service from the U.S. Treasury.Credit or debit card (pay separately on an IRS processor)You go to one of the IRS-listed card processors and pay there. The processor charges a card fee.Direct debit (EFW) — IRS pulls it from my bank account when I fileThe IRS debits your bank for the exact amount when the return is processed. Fill in the EFW payment section below.Other tax credits (Line 5, if any)Every Line 5 credit is entered per vehicle in the credit-details section below (the IRS needs the VIN, what happened, the date and the amount for each). We decide how much can offset this return and refund the rest on Form 8849. Leave this at 0.00.

Did you pay tax on a vehicle in a prior period expecting it to go over the mileage use limit, but it stayed under?

If a vehicle you reported as taxable in an earlier period was actually driven 5,000 miles or less (7,500 for agricultural), the tax was overpaid. We can apply it as a credit here (Line 5) as long as it does not exceed your total tax (Line 4); otherwise the refund must be claimed on Form 8849.
