E-Filing & Schedule 1

What is a stamped Schedule 1?

Schedule 1 is the official IRS receipt proving you have reported and paid your HVUT. State DMVs require a copy of the stamped Schedule 1 to register your vehicle or renew your apportioned plates (IRP).

How fast will I get my Schedule 1?

When you e-file with Consulics, the IRS typically processes the return and issues a digitally watermarked Schedule 1 within 5 to 15 minutes.

Can I file without an EIN?

No, the IRS requires a valid Employer Identification Number (EIN) to file Form 2290. You cannot use a Social Security Number. If you just applied for an EIN, it may take 10-15 days for IRS systems to update before you can e-file.

Payments & Fees

How do I pay the IRS tax?

You can pay the IRS directly using Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW/Direct Debit), EFTPS, or by mailing a check or money order. You select your preferred payment method during the e-file process.

Does Consulics charge the IRS tax?

No. Consulics only charges a processing fee for using our e-file platform. Any HVUT tax owed is paid directly to the IRS using the payment method you choose.
