2290 Instructions for Paper filing
Paper filing is a little bit harder then e-filing because there is no one to call for help if you get confused. You can easily find instructions for paper filing but the basics are simple.
Fill in the paper form, and mail it to the IRS with your check or money order for the amount due. Then it’s a waiting game. It could easily take the IRS up to 4-8 weeks to return a Stamped Schedule 1 in the mail.
Pros:
- Free
Cons:
- It takes a long time
- There is no phone help
- Wastes paper
Hire a Paid Preparer
Your last option for filing your 2290 taxes would be to hire someone to prepare and process the 2290 for you. Call us for a recommendation in your area or ask your regular registration, IFTA agent, or tax person if they provide filing services for Form 2290. Here at 2290Tax, we work with hundreds of IRS approved Paid Preparers who are ready and willing to help.

- Expert Help

The Best Bang for Your Buck
The method you use to file your HVUT taxes really boils down to a personal choice. For many, the time spent reading our 2290 instructions to e-file and paying a small fee is more than fair for how fast they receive a Stamped Schedule 1. For others, it’s worth the time it takes to paper file and then wait for the IRS to respond.
