Steps to File Form 2290 Online

1. Create or Sign In to your online account

If you need to file for more than one business (multiple EIN numbers), you can still use a single account. Our software platform is easy enough to use and enables you to manage multiple companies and EIN numbers with a single account.

Tax preparers please be sure to check the option Are you a Tax Professional (Paid Tax Preparer) This option enables paid tax preparers to file the 2290 return on behalf of their clients.

2. Add the business information

  • Click on the Add New Business button to begin.

The Business Name and EIN must exactly match the data on file with the IRS. You may call the Business and Specialty Tax Line and EIN Assistance at 800-829-4933 to verify the Business Name and EIN.

3. Start a new 2290 return

  • Click on the button, Start a new 2290 return to begin.
  • Select the tax year and the month first used date for the VIN's that will be reported on this 2290 return.

The month first used is the month the vehicle(s) was first used during the tax period. To file for the entire tax period select July.

4. Add the VIN(s) to the 2290 return as either a Taxable Vehicle or a Suspended Vehicle

  • Tax suspended vehicles designated as Category "W", also commonly known as low mileage vehicles, are vehicles that have been used on public highways that do not exceed 5,000 miles (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles) during the tax period. These suspended vehicles are not taxed by the IRS. All low mileage/suspended vehicles must still be reported to the IRS.
