IRS Claims Electronic Excise Tax Filing Is Coming

The IRS announced they will be adding three excise tax forms to the list of federal tax returns and schedules that can be filed electronically later this year. "Electronic filing is a key component to modernizing our tax system," claims Acting IRS Commissioner Kevin M. Brown. "Expanding e-file opportunities to include excise tax returns will help improve service to taxpayers using these forms." The IRS expects to receive the first electronically-filed excise tax return this summer, when Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return, becomes the first available excise tax return that can be e-filed.
