Time and again and as ever continuing it is needed for truckers’ operators to report on time about their operations of commercial heavy vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more for carrying goods and services towards public benefit. They also have to honor the commitment of responding annually to IRS before 30th June every year, as designed and mandatory as a mark of the mutual trust between the federal body IRS and truckers’ community. Including their services of any first use of their commercial heavy motor vehicle on national highways across USA that need to be reported every month end following their first use in a previous month as understood within the prescribed period as mentioned in IRS instructions.
IRS knows the complications involved in the truckers’ business operations in maintaining their timely deliveries of products and goods for the public of the USA notwithstanding keeping a constant check of their drivers for hours of regulations as per Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). And in their consistency of maintaining them for their regular work as per schedule with the considerations of wear and tear of the heavy vehicles and adding to their problems as arising out of climatic and weather changes when they face fatigue or any health problems due to such transportation.
IRS is here to monitor the truckers as they do a purpose for general public service through transportation of goods and products as needed by the public across USA states and while doing so it is also responsible for the proper maintenance of the public national highway roads and bridges in order to keep IRS form 2290 as it would translate as a benefit to the nation by serving for facilitating smooth transportation for truckers to operate without any hindrances and also for the general public to use the national highways for their purpose as needful.
Therefore it is needless to state that truckers’ operators have to respond and report meaningfully to IRS on time to e-file tax form 2290 through IRS certified tax partner like Tax2efile either for any first use of their commercial vehicle in subsequent month ends or for annually before 30th June 2015 towards the cause of the nation, as it is unavoidable for truckers as operators to understand that these truckers and haulers as in operation would affect the national roadways because of the frequent heavyweights that they carry forward as plying between to and fro and across on national routeways of USA states.
By doing the right thing through reporting from 2290 to IRS on time is only hailing truckers’ dutiful response and at the same time failing to report to IRS through form 2290 should not be considered as nailing by IRS. The federal body IRS would give you ample of time and even though their form 2290 instructions as it states as a condition of any genuine reasonable cause may be considered as a case to case circumstances for giving any valid extension of time for filing your truck tax. If the reasonable cause as given by a trucker is not acceptable within the prescribed review committee of IRS then the damages as interest and penalty may result as compensation for failure to adhere to IRS rules on time.
