Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing Form 2290 via Mobile
While mobile filing is fast and convenient, here are some common errors to watch out for:
❌ Entering the wrong VIN – One incorrect character can lead to rejections.
❌ Choosing the wrong weight category – This affects your tax amount.
❌ Missing the first-used month – Filing late for that month leads to penalties.
❌ Not submitting for suspended vehicles – You must still file even if no tax is due.
❌ Using an incorrect EIN – Your EIN must be valid and at least 14 days old.
Tip: Double-check every field before submitting to avoid IRS rejections or delays.
Important:
If you need to file a VIN correction or an amended return, such as updating the vehicle’s weight or reporting mileage over the suspension limit, please visit TaxZerone website for further instructions and easy filings.
