Why does the DMV not accept my Schedule 1 Copy?

What should I do if my e-filed return gets rejected by the IRS for duplication?

Rejection due to duplication is one of the leading issues that users face while filing form 2290 online. Consider the below points for re-filing your form 2290.

Please ensure that you enter the accurate VIN that is not a duplicate number from previous filings.
If any duplication does occur, you can correct this and resubmit your return.
If you’re correcting the VIN that’s already listed on a previously submitted and accepted return, you will have to file a paper return (hard copy) and select the designated VIN correction box on Page 1.
If the VIN is different from what’s listed on the original return, you need to give an explanation to submit a different VIN.

After the electronic submission of Form 2290, I received an online duplicate filing error. Why did this happen?

This happened because the system detected that you had already filed. Consider the below points to ensure this error does not happen again

The rejection was due to return under the same EIN.
Duplicate filing happened for the same tax period and the same vehicle(s)
Duplicate filing under the same VIN category.
We suggest you re-check your return to ensure that you are reporting the new vehicle(s) only and all the other information provided is correct.

Payments and Refunds

How can I pay my 2290 taxes to the IRS?

EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System) – The IRS will deduct the amount from your account within 24-48 hours.
