Easy Form 2290

You Paid the Tax. Now Get Back What You're Owed

If you pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax initially, and then the possession of your truck changes, it is sold, totaled, stolen, or hardly ever used, the IRS permits you to get back the unused portion of that tax. The form Schedule 6, accompanying IRS Form 8849, serves as the means to do this.

With EasyForm2290, truckers get a dependable and effective way to submit their 2290 refund claim electronically without the hassle of paper forms or the risk of mistakes that could be very expensive. This software suits owner-operators, fleet managers, and trucking companies alike, giving them a safe and fast way of filing their 2290 refund form while at the same time complying with the IRS requirements.

When Should You File the Schedule 6 Form?

Schedule 6 Refund Filing

This refund will not be given to you on its own; you have to file the Schedule 6 form in order to start the claim procedure.

If one or more of the following situations apply to you, then you might be permitted to file a 2290 refund form:

  • You have sold your vehicle prior to the end of the tax period, and you are entitled to a prorated refund for the months you haven't used.
  • Your vehicle has been destroyed or was declared a total loss during the tax year.
  • It was stolen, and no one has found it.
  • You have not driven your vehicle more than 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural use), and you have already paid HVUT in full.
  • You have made an overpayment with your original Form 2290.
