2290 Pre-Filing Over the Phone: Now Available

Heavy vehicle use tax season is nearly underway, and it’s time to start filing your 2290.

This year, TSNAmerica is not only continuing to offer over-the-phone HVUT filing, but we are also exclusively offering pre-filing for the HVUT season. Pre-filing your 2290 over the phone is great way to get ahead for the 2015-16 tax season, and it can also ensure that you won’t have to deal with any late penalties down the road.

So don’t wait til the last minute to get it out of the way, call now and get TSNAmerica to pre-file your 2290 today!

What is Form 2290 and Who Needs to File?

IRS Form 2290 is used annually to file Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, or HVUT. You must file Form 2290 and get a stamped copy of your Schedule 1 if a taxable highway motor vehicle is registered, or required to be registered in your name under state, District of Columbia, Canadian, or Mexican law at the time of its first use during the tax period, and if the vehicle will travel over 5,000 miles during the tax year. The tax year begins on July 1, 2015 and runs through June 30, 2016.

Need Some Help? Pre-file Over the Phone!

We know that dealing with all these complicated forms and calculations by yourself can be very frustrating and time consuming. While some may have time to waste fiddling with IRS forms, we understand that for truckers, time is money, and it’s hard to find the time to sit down and file your 2290. That’s why at Truck Services of North America, we’ll take care of the entire E-filing process for you, saving you time, money, and lots of frustration. And we’ll even do it early, which means your return will be at the top of the stack when the IRS begins processing renewals July 1st!

How It Works:

For us to E-file for you, all it takes is a simple five-minute phone call to get all of your relevant information. When you call us you’ll need:

• Business Contact Information- It must be what the IRS has on record, including business name, phone number, and address
• EIN- Employer Identification Number
• VIN- Vehicle Identification Numbers for all of your taxable vehicles
• Gross Vehicle Weight
• Payment Information- the IRS no longer accepts credit cards

We’ll also ask you if any of your vehicles are used for special purposes such as for agriculture or logging, as this can affect your tax rates. Then, after we have all of your information we’ll fill out your forms and email you a copy of Form 8453 to sign and send back to us via email, fax, or mail - whichever is the most convenient for you.

After we have all of your information, we’ll immediately pre-file your 2290, and we’ll also send you your stamped Schedule 1 via mail, fax, or email as soon as the IRS processes your return. Just one five-minute phone call, and we’ll take care of the rest for you! For more information on our 2290 E-filing service, visit our 2290 service section here.

At TSNAmerica, it’s our job to simplify yours. That’s why in addition to our E-filing services for your 2290, we also offer a wide variety of other truck services, and a full list can be found here. You can also send us a service request form, email us at support@TSNAmerica.com, or call us at 803.386.0320.

Get Ready for CVSA Roadcheck 2015

That dreaded time of the year for truckers is fast approaching, and no I’m not talking about tax season. Well, not yet anyway. The dates for the 28th annual International Roadcheck have officially been set, and the 72-hour roadcheck sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will begin on June 2, 2015, and run through June 4, 2015.

Though it may seem like a hassle, the International Roadcheck is actually a huge benefit to truckers and civilians alike. And as long as you’re prepared, you should be able to pass without a hitch–which is why TSNAmerica is here to make sure you have all of the information you need to make it through Roadcheck 2015 with ease.

What is the International Roadcheck?

Over the years, the program has helped educate both the trucking industry and the general public about the importance of safe commercial vehicle operations. The inspections will be done by over 10,000 CVSA-certified local, state, provincial, and territorial inspectors in jurisdictions across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Every minute during this year’s roadcheck, an estimated 17 trucks and buses will be inspected, so be sure to prepare so that your truck isn’t one of the nearly 19 percent of trucks put out of service every year.

Driver Requirements:

The inspectors will be administering the North American standard Level I inspection, which is an incredibly thorough 37-step inspection that takes roughly an hour to complete. During the inspection, drivers will be tested for seatbelt usage as well as for the use of drugs or alcohol during vehicle operation. Drivers will also be required to provide their:

• Driver’s License
• Endorsements
• Hours-of-Service Documentation
• Medical Examiner’s Certificate
• Skill Performance Evaluation (If Applicable)

Vehicle Requirements:

The truck itself will also be checked, which will include inspection of the vehicle’s:

• Braking System, Coupling Devices, Exhaust System, Frame, Fuel System, Lights, Safe Loading Ability, Steering Mechanism, Drive Line, Suspension, Tires, Van and Open-Top Trailer Bodies, Wheels & Rims, Windshield Wipers

Point of Emphasis for 2015

Every year, the CVSA selects a special category of violations for both inspectors and drivers to focus on, and this year the emphasis is being placed on cargo securement. The reason is because CVSA has deemed that proper cargo securement in carrier vehicles is a matter of public safety.

Here are some ways to be sure you are adequately prepared to have your cargo securement inspected:

• After traveling the first several miles of the trip, be sure to stop and re-check the tie downs and all other load security equipment. This is actually a legal requirement for all truck drivers carrying loads of any type. 

• Brace and block the cargo being carried as cargo can often slide during transport even if secured properly. Oftentimes an extra block or brace is all that is needed to keep the cargo from shifting too much during shipment. 

• Inspect tie downs for wear or damage before use. Often the reason for cargo moving during transport is because the tie downs meant to keep it in place are worn and therefore break. Proper inspection before use can prevent this from ever becoming an issue during transport. 

Why Should I Prepare for Roadcheck 2015?

Overall, the International Roadcheck has been wildly successful since its inception in 1988. The program has seen over 1.4 million vehicles inspected in its 27 years of operation, and those inspections have saved an estimated 318 lives and prevented 5,840 accidents.

Not to mention that on average, having your truck put out of service by an inspector will cost you $861, and that doesn’t even include the cost of fines or repairs as a result of the inspection. So in addition to potentially saving lives, save yourself some time and money by making sure you have all the proper documentation, and have taken all the proper precautionary measures to ensure that you pass inspection.


If you have any questions to help ensure that you are informed and safe for the International Roadcheck, give TSNAmerica a call at 803.386.0320 or email them at support@tsnamerica.com. Not only can they answer any questions you may have about International Roadcheck, but they also help their clients with their HVUT, quarterly IFTA filings, and even their HazMat Certificate of Registration.

HazMat Certificate Registration Period Now Open

Along with the hustle and bustle of HVUT renewal season comes the registration deadline for vehicles transporting hazardous materials. Just like filing your 2290, it’s not wise to wait until the last minute to register, or you could subject yourself to late penalties and fines.

The HazMat Certificate registration period for the upcoming year began May 1, 2015, and runs until June 30, 2015.

For those unfamiliar with the registration process or that need a slight refresher, we have highlighted everything you need to know about applying for a Hazmat Certificate of Registration.

Why Do I Need to Register?

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration requires anyone that offers transportation of shipments containing hazardous materials, including hazardous waste, to file a registration statement with the Department of Transportation in addition to paying an annual fee. This is required for the transport of any hazardous material requiring a US DOT placard, which includes oil, petroleum, and propane.

Registration for the upcoming year is due by June 30th, but please note that partial years are still required to pay the entire filing fee. Therefore, if you already registered in May, your registration will need to be renewed again before July 1st.

How to Register

Registration to transport hazardous materials can be applied for online through the PHMSA website or by mail. The fees for registration vary as small businesses and nonprofit organizations get significantly lower rates than large businesses.

Several different categories of hazardous materials have been created by PHMSA, and each requires a different certificate and a unique placard displayed on the vehicle.






If you’re unsure which placards are required for your operation, contact TSNAmerica, and we can help you determine what’s right for your business.

Recordkeeping Requirements

After obtaining the proper registration, it is necessary to follow PHMSA regulations, which require that registration be kept on file at a company’s place of business for three years and available for inspection.

Moreover, every truck or tractor used in the transportation of hazardous materials is required to keep a copy of the current registration on board. Truckers are also given the option to instead keep a document with the current year’s registration number.

Penalties

Penalties can be levied on those that fail to register or to comply with recordkeeping requirements by either the local, state, or federal government. If a roadside inspection or DOT audit shows that a truck is not properly registered, the owner of the truck can:

• Be fined up to $32,000 per day of violation. 
• Lose their interstate or intrastate operating authority. 

To avoid penalties, be sure that all of your trucks are properly registered today. To check on the registration status of any of your trucks you can visit the PHMSA company registration search.

If you need help with your HazMat registration, or even with your HM Safety Permit, give Truck Services of North America a call at 803.386.0320, or fill out a service request form. As a premier processing agency, we will take care of the registration process for you in its entirety.

IFTA Late Filing Penalties: Get Your Account Back in Good Standing!

The April 30th filing deadline has officially passed!

Were you able to file on time? If your first quarter IFTA, NM Weight-Distance, Oregon Weight-Mile, NY HUT, or KYU returns are late, Truck Services of North America is here to rescue you!

But we can’t help unless you give us a call, so get ready to drop what you’re doing and pick up the phone (unless of course, you’re reading this on your phone).

The sooner you act, the lower the penalties you will face. What penalties exactly? Let’s have a look.

Late IFTA Filing Penalties

You must file your return AND pay all of the taxes due by the deadline date, or your return is considered late and subject to these penalties:

• You must pay the greater of $50 or 10% of the net tax due to all member jurisdictions.
• Additionally, interest accrues on the tax you owe at a rate of 1% per month.
• Your jurisdiction will assess interest on a monthly basis, so even if you’re only 1 or 2 days late, the full 1% interest will be applied. It is not prorated. 

Get Back on Track

That’s the bad news. But the good news is that TSNAmerica has IFTA Filing Services that can get even the latest of late filers back on track.

We file IFTA and State Use Tax returns every day of the year! Here are some of the filing services we offer:

• IFTA Basic- $75 per quarter + State Fees
  
  Send us your total miles and fuel purchases each quarter, and we’ll complete your return and file it directly with your state.

• IFTA Premium- $110 per quarter + State Fees
  
  We’ll calculate your mileage per jurisdiction and fuel tax based on your trip sheets and fuel receipts. Then we’ll complete your return and file it for you. (Audit not included.)

• IFTA Complete- $150 per quarter + State FeesThe ultimate IFTA service! This includes everything you need to get your quarterly IFTA filed with minimal effort and minimal risk of being audited. This service includes a thorough audit of your information to decrease the risk of errors. We check for state adjacency and gaps in odometer readings and review fuel purchases for consistency. 

And don’t forget: we also file quarterly State Use Tax returns. And fast! To see our entire line-up of services, head over to TSNAmerica.com, and then send us a Service Request Form. Your wish is our command!

Not sure how to get back on track? Call us and we’ll talk about how to get your IFTA or State Tax account back in good standing. Our happy helpers are standing by at 803.386.0320. You can also email us at support@tsnamerica.com.

RigMinders: A New Deadline ReMinder App for Transportation Professionals

When it comes to helping our clients, we stop at nothing!

We founded TSNAmerica to make a valuable contribution to those in the trucking industry. Which is exactly why we’ve been hard at work developing a brand new app!

This app is unlike any other, and we’re extremely excited to unveil it.

It’s called RigMinders.

RigMinders is the only customizable reminder app tailored to transportation professionals. It comes preloaded with every industry filing deadline you can think of, plus a short description of what each deadline is.

We’re talking IFTA (quarterly filings & license renewals), IRP, UCR, HVUT, State Use Taxes– you name it, there’s a reminder for it. AND you can also add custom personal reminders too.

Whether you need to remember vehicle maintenance, an invoice due date, or a job, RigMinders will help you complete all tasks on time and with style!

All you need is a WiFi-enabled device. Smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop– wherever you are, RigMinders will follow.

Try it out now on your Android or iOS device. It’s free afterall!

Simply enter your name and email address, choose a password, and you’re ready to start receiving personal and industry reminders on any device, wherever you are!

Customizing Your RigMinders

1. Quarterly Truck Deadlines 

First select any quarterly trucking deadlines that apply to your operation.

From IFTA, to IRP, to New Mexico Weight-Distance, all of the major deadlines are already there.

Simply swipe the button “on” to be reminded of each. And if you can’t remember what a certain filing is for, simply tap it to see a short description.

Then press the “Other Truck Deadlines” tab at the top to navigate to the next set of deadlines.

2. Other Deadlines

Here you’ll find an array of annual and biennial filing deadlines.

Whether you have trouble remembering your Form 2290, HazMat license renewal, or your USDOT biennial update, there’s a reminder here for you.

Once you’ve selected from all of the preloaded deadlines in RigMinders, it’s time to add custom reminders!

3. Add Personal Reminders

By selecting the yellow +Add Reminder button on the top right of the screen, a pop-up will open where you can add details for a personal, custom reminder.

Have trouble remembering your next scheduled maintenance? Add it to RigMinders! Are you a habitual late bill payer? Add your bill due dates!

If it’s an important, time-sensitive task, add it to your RigMinders to ensure you’ll get the job done.

4. Reminder Preferences

RigMinders not only allows you to customize your reminders, but also the reminder type and frequency.

At the bottom of your screen, you’ll see a black box prompting you to change your reminder preferences. Click there to be taken to this screen.

Here you can choose whether you’d like to be reminded of your deadlines the week before, day before, or day of the due date (or all 3). You can also choose how you’d like to be reminded, either by email or push notification. Press save, and you’re finished!

5. Editing Your RigMinders

After saving your preferences, you’ll be shown a summary screen with all of your deadline selections and preferences.

If something is missing or you’d like to make a change, simply press the pencil icon to be taken to that section where you can change your selections.

Remembering your important personal and industry deadlines has never been this easy!

No other app comes preloaded with reminders just for transportation professionals. And RigMinders is far more reliable than tying a string around your finger or using a sticky note.

And best of all, it’s free because it’s our gift to the Trucking Nation! If you have any questions about RigMinders, or need help filing for any of these deadlines, just give us a call at 803.386.0320 or email us at support@tsnamerica.com.

But even in the midst of IFTA madness, we still found time to guest star on a webinar yesterday!

That’s right–our very own processing specialist to the stars, Amber Tabb, co-hosted a TruckLogics webinar yesterday. You’ve probably heard us mention TruckLogics before.

Our good friends and partners, TruckLogics is a cloud-based business management solution with packages for any and every kind of transportation professional out there.

Whether you’re a company driver, leased operator, owner-operator, or fleet manager, TruckLogics has an affordable package with exactly the features you need to streamline recordkeeping and have a healthier bottom line.

We often recommend TruckLogics to our clients! Their One-click Trip Sheets feature makes keeping up with trip data a breeze, which not only helps you at the end of each quarter– it helps us too! The more organized your trip sheets are, the easier the filing process. Plus the risk of errors is lowered significantly!

If you missed Amber’s appearance on this informative webinar, have no fear! Here’s a recording of the session.

No time to watch? Here are some of the topics we covered and the minute you can find them at:

• 1. IFTA Basics (4:30): Who needs IFTA? How do you stay IFTA compliant? What filing services does TSNAmerica offer for IFTA?

1st Quarter IFTA Filing Period Now Open: Get Ready for April 30th

It’s the circle of life.

One thing ends, and another begins. As the first IFTA quarter has closed, now the filing period opens and the second quarter begins!

Luckily, your friends at TSNAmerica can help you with both! We have IFTA Filing services at a range of price points to suite everyone’s needs. Plus we can help ensure that you start off the 2nd quarter on the right foot!

Were your recordkeeping practices in Quarter 1 lax at best? Give us a call, and we’ll be happy to walk you through best practices for IFTA recordkeeping. 

Here are a few highlights to keep in mind as we move into Quarter 2:

1. Record your mileage per jurisdiction and fuel purchases–every single day. It’s much easier to spend just 3 minutes a day on Trip Sheets instead of hours or days at the end of the quarter.

2. Use a program like TruckLogics to record your trip details. You can then print and mail these to us, and we’ll use them to calculate your tax and prepare your return.

3. Keeping up with records also reduces errors, and therefore, reduces your risk of an IFTA audit.

4. IFTA records must be retained for at least 4 years after the filing date. Store them in your base jurisdiction so that they’re readily available in the event of an IFTA audit.

Now for the tricky part– upcoming deadlines!

• 1st Quarter IFTA returns are due by Thursday, April 30th! TSNAmerica can prepare your return for you based on your trip sheets AND file it directly with your base jurisdiction. While we do our best to accommodate last-minute filing emergencies, we file on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t wait until the 29th to get in contact with us!

• The first quarter for State Use Taxes has also ended, and the returns are all due April 30th. This includes KYU (Kentucky Use Tax), NM Weight Distance Tax, and NY HUT (Highway Use Tax). We can also file these for you too! Check out our services.

Don’t be shy! Explore TSNAmerica.com, and then give us a call and find out how we can help save you time and money by preparing all of your paperwork for you! You can reach us at our Rock Hill, SC headquarters via phone at 803.386.0320, by live online chat, or email us at support@tsnamerica.com.

Know No Bounds: Keep Truckin' with Temporary Trip & Fuel Permits from TSNAmerica

Just when you think you have it all together, you get a call about a load that requires you to travel through a jurisdiction you’re not licensed to travel in.  

You shouldn't have to turn down a load for a lack of credentials! But you shouldn't have to register for IRP or IFTA just for a one-time occurrence either–which is exactly why temporary permits exist!

At TSNAmerica, we can not only obtain temporary trip and fuel permits, but can also obtain a myriad of other permits for your business. See everything we have to offer, and if there’s something you need, send us a Service Request Form, and we’ll get on it ASAP.

Temporary Permits

• Temporary Trip Permit: Need to travel interstate, but don’t have IRP credentials? Then a temporary trip permit is for you! Trip permits are issued in lieu of IRP registration, and in some cases, in place of intrastate authority or state use tax credentials, such as NYHUT.
  
  While trip permits are a great solution for sporadic interstate travel, they are not an economical solution in the long term. If you think you’ll need permits more than 2-3 times a year, it may be better to register under IRP or the state tax license required for the jurisdictions you’re traveling in.
  
  Trip permits must be obtained prior to entering the jurisdiction, and since processing costs and times vary by state, it’s best to inquire as soon as you know you’ll need one.

• Temporary Fuel Permit: Fuel permits are issued in place of registration with IFTA, the International Fuel Tax Agreement. Like Trip Permits, they must be obtained before travelling into the jurisdiction you are not licensed to operate in. 

• Hunter’s Permit: Also known as an Unladen Permit, Hunter’s Permits are issued to leased owner-operator’s whose lease with their carrier has been terminated, forcing them to return their IRP plates & decals.
  
  To allow the O-O to travel interstate in search of work, this permit takes the place of IRP registration. However, the permit can only be issued to cover the unladen weight of the vehicle/trailer, so no loads can be carried under this permit. 

Seasonal Permits

• Harvest Permit: Harvest permits are issued during harvest season to those carrying products in their natural state (which are heavier). This allows you to temporarily increase the Gross Vehicle Weight without registering at this higher weight permanently.

HazMat Permits

• HM Safety Permit: A Hazardous Materials Safety Permit is issued to those carrying what the FMCSA considers to be dangerous or toxic substances. This includes radioactive, toxic, or combustible materials. Carriers of this permit must renew biennially according to the last 2 digits of their DOT number.

• PHMSA Permit: This permit, known as a HazMat Certificate of Registration, is also required for those transporting specific types and quantities of hazardous materials. The kind of permit issued will vary based on the category of material, and it must be filed annually. Like the HVUT tax year, the registration year for PHMSA runs from July 1st- June 30th of the following year. Registrants who enter mid-year are still required to pay the full year’s registration fee.
  
  TSNAmerica can help you determine the kind of hazmat permit required, and file for you efficiently this year, and each year after.

Need a temporary trip or fuel permit fast? We’re the fastest filers in the West! And not only are we quick on the draw, we’ve got perfect aim and file everything right the first time!

Call us now for help obtaining your permits or registrations at 803.386.0320 or email us at support@tsnamerica.com.

IRP Renewal Deadline March 31st: Know Your Responsibilities

With IRP renewal deadlines for several states coming up on the 31st, now is the perfect time to brush up on your IRP knowledge.

At Truck Services of North America, IRP is one of our specialties. Find out from the pro’s whether you’re doing all you need to stay compliant.

I.R. What?

For any newbies out there, the International Registration Plan is an agreement among the 48 contiguous states and 10 provinces of Canada for the registration of commercial motor vehicles traveling between jurisdictions. 

Each jurisdiction agrees to collect and distribute registration fees to the other jurisdictions based on your mileage in each. The more you drive in a jurisdiction, the bigger piece of your pie they get.

IRP simplifies your life by eliminating the need to have a different license plate or cab card for each state and province you operate in. Instead, your base jurisdiction furnishes you with one set of credentials to display (this varies by state), and you only need to renew and pay fees to that one base. Much easier!

What Must I Do?

• Renew your IRP registration each year, pay your registration fees, and display your new credentials appropriately. 

• Maintain jurisdiction-specific distance records, and make these available in your base jurisdiction in the event of an IRP Audit. Also, be sure to retain these records for at least 3 years after the close of the period. 

Is It Time for Me to Renew?

• Illinois IRP: 03/31 is the renewal due date for all IL IRP registrants. You may submit this renewal online, or you can have TSNAmerica file for you!

• AZ, MO, MT, UT: Some registrants in these states must renew by 03/31. Since the renewal deadlines are staggered throughout the year, check with your base state to see if it’s your turn.

If it’s time for you to renew your IRP registration, or if you aren’t even sure when you need to renew, then give Truck Services of North America a call.

Whether your state requires renewals by mail or online, we know how to file your registration quickly and correctly. The answer to all of your IRP questions lies with us! Call us now at 803.386.0320 or email us at support@tsnamerica.com.

When you think of the time (and possible audits) that this package can save you, it’s quite a steal!

Our expertise doesn’t stop there. It also extends to quarterly State Use Taxes and annual HVUT too. Like IFTA, we can use your trip sheets and fuel receipts to complete your quarterly NY HUT, KYU, New Mexico Weight-Distance, or Oregon Weight-Mile tax returns.

We also offer Form 2290 over-the-phone filing! One quick phone call to get your details, and we’ll prepare and file your HVUT that day.
