IRS Gives Additional Time to Taxpayers and Preparer’s Affected by Hurricane Sandy

The Internal Revenue Service today announced that it is granting taxpayers and tax Preparer’s affected by Hurricane Sandy until Nov. 7 to file returns and accompanying payments normally due today.  The relief applies to taxpayers and tax Preparer’s in an area affected by Hurricane Sandy or otherwise impacted by the storm that hit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States this week.

This relief primarily applies to businesses whose payroll and excise tax returns and payments are normally due today. No action is required by the taxpayer; this relief is automatic. Regular federal tax deposits are due according to current rules. However, the IRS notes that if taxpayers or tax practitioners receive a penalty notice for this period, they can contact the IRS at the number on the notice to request penalty abatement due to reasonable cause on account of the storm.

IRS expects to grant additional filing and payment relief as qualifying disaster declarations are issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

How to choose tax preparers?

Whether we like it or not, tax laws and filing formalities these days are never as simple as filing through words. It is very likely that we overlook figures we are entitled to. At the end of it all, individual filing will let you stand with more questions than answers. In such a case, filing your Form 2290 online with an IRS authorized software provider like tax2290.com with complete end-end assistance for e-filing would do great. If you don’t have time or the patience even for that, there are always tax professionals to tie up with who prepare tax returns and file them up for you, for some fee. Tax preparation may be done by a licensed professional such as an attorney, certified public accountant or enrolled agent, or by an unlicensed tax preparation business. Since you are responsible for what’s on your return even though you file it through a tax professional, you have to be wise in choosing the right one. IRS suggests a few factors that would help make such wise decisions.

Qualification of the preparer: Make sure they have their mandatory TPIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) and have met the minimum competency requirements.

Preparer’s history: Check for any disciplinary actions and licensure status.

Service Fee: Your refund is yours. Do not rely on preparers who base their fee on your refund.

Electronic filing: Verify if they practice the safe and secure electronic filing of your returns. It is mandatory for them to file online through IRS authorized service providers like tax2290.com, while filing for 10 or more returns, unless told otherwise by clients.

Tax professional’s accessibility: You should be able to contact your tax preparer after the return has been filed, in case of any issues.

Never sign a blank return: Do not proceed with preparers who ask you to sign blank tax forms.

Review the returns before signing: Review the filled forms, raise questions and become clear as to what’s happening around the form, check for accuracy and sign once you are comfortable.

Preparer’s signature: As per law, the preparer should sign the return and include their PTIN. You are responsible thereafter, so verify accuracy.

After all this if you successfully decide upon some tax professional’s name to carry forward your return filing, suggest them tax2290.com so that you and your tax preparer mutually enjoy a convenient e-file process on-line.

You Have Options To Correct Your Form 2290 Errors..!

Nobody is perfect, it’s highly impossible to find a person who hasn’t committed a mistake in his/her entire life. Most of the times mistakes committed are unintentional. There are various reasons behind every error made, though everyone believes that carelessness is the important cause for it I would say that’s not only reason. Lack of knowledge or not understanding the seriousness of the issue can be a reason for a mistake.

Let’s say a mistake has happened and the damage can be quite big, what one should do to come out of the trouble. There are few errors that cannot be corrected and the person committed it has to face the consequences. It would not be fair to punish someone for a simple error that he/she has done that was unintentional. After all we are humans so; we all deserve a second chance to correct our mistakes.

The entire Trucking industry is always in a hurry, as we all know there are high chances for mistakes to happen when we are in a hurry. As previously mentioned there are few uncorrectable mistakes in life, for example a simple carelessness of a trucker on a public highway can put a lot of lives in danger including his own. Nothing can be done to correct it. Assume if a Trucker wrongly calculates the amount of gas left in the tank for the distance to cover and gets struck on the middle of the road. This is a simple error and there is a fix to it.

Likewise while filling out an IRS form 2290, there are chances for mistakes as it involves understanding the IRS terminologies and requires utter & most undivided attention to the numerical values keyed in. Mostly commonly committed errors are typing in the wrong VIN Vehicle Identification Number, Filing with incorrect Taxable Gross Weight. After observing these errors that happen repeatedly with several filers the IRS has come up with a solution to fix it. A tax payer can correct the errors made on a Tax Form 2290 by filing a 2290 amendment. More over to make the process faster the IRS has started to accept 2290 amendment form electronically. Not only for the errors you make on the form 2290, even if a suspended vehicle exceeds it mileage limit of 5000 miles you can report it to the IRS by filing an amendment.

All these can be done simply from your computer by logging on to www.tax2290.com . If you are still not sure how to correct the mistakes, call their tax experts at 1-866-245-3918 or write to them at support@taxexcise.com.
