2290 Now Due

Chattanooga would probably be closer and not as busy as Nashville.

 

The IRS doesn't care who pays the 2290 as long as it gets paid. I would not worry about the small amount of time the owner has had the truck since renewal. If you got the truck in September then you are only talking about a couple of months and that is less than $100. If the truck was not on the road in July until September, you may even be able to pro rate the 2290 tax when it is paid. I would check with the IRS to see what they say. Today is the last day to pay the 2290 without paying a penalty. I think the penalty is $50 plus interest until paid. It doesn't make any difference where you live when it comes time to pay the 2290. It is the same for all states. By the way, the tax is usually paid in the name of the registered owner. Again, I would check with the IRS and ask them. If you have an office near you then that would be the best place to ask your questions. You will need the complete vin number from the truck in order to pay the 2290.

 

I just got back from paying my 2290. There were a lot of people waiting to talk to an agent, but I only had 2 people in front of me. It didn't take long to get in and out. The guy at the front desk said that they had over 200 people coming in to pay their 2290. A friend of mine paid $35.00 to a service to file his electonically. If I didn't have an office so close I might pay someone to do efile it for me, too. I don't see why we can't file it on line ourselves rather than paying a service. I suppose someone with the government is getting a kickback. Oops....did I say that?!
