Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing Form 2290 via Mobile

While mobile filing is fast and convenient, here are some common errors to watch out for:

• ❌ Entering the wrong VIN – One incorrect character can lead to rejections.
• ❌ Choosing the wrong weight category – This affects your tax amount.
• ❌ Missing the first-used month – Filing late for that month leads to penalties.
• ❌ Not submitting for suspended vehicles – You must still file even if no tax is due.
• ❌ Using an incorrect EIN – Your EIN must be valid and at least 14 days old.
