ALBANY, N.Y., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As tax season begins for fleets and owner operators required to file IRS Form 2990 for Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), Bestpass, a comprehensive payment platform provider and the leader in toll management solutions is ready to help.

Last year, Bestpass acquired ExpressTruckTax, the leading HVUT e-filing provider that serves over 200,000 businesses, further expanding its back-office management solutions outside of toll. HVUT is an annual tax levied on all heavy vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more that operate on public highways. For fleets of 25 trucks or more, e-filing IRS Form 2290 is required and is the preferred filing method by the IRS for fleets and owner operators with less than 25 trucks.

"It's an exciting time at Bestpass as we begin our first tax season as a provider of HVUT e-filing services and continue to expand our service offerings for fleets and owner operators outside of toll," said Joseph Santamarina, who was recently appointed general manager of ExpressTruckTax. "By adding HVUT e-filing to our portfolio of services available through Bestpass, we can now offer customers simplified access to both toll management and tax filing solutions."

More companies use ExpressTruckTax to file their HVUT tax form than any other provider. These filers now also have the option to pay by credit card, a new payment option added this past season. Bestpass customers that file their IRS Form 2990 through ExpressTruckTax are eligible for a discounted rate. A fully integrated solution that provides Bestpass customers with access to ExpressTruckTax through their Bestpass account is expected to be available later this year.
