If you are reporting 25 or more vehicles on a single Form 2290, the IRS requires you to file electronically. Even below that number, e-filing a fleet is far faster than typing each truck by hand.

Steps to file a large fleet

  1. Prepare your vehicle data in a spreadsheet: VIN, taxable gross weight category, and first used month for each truck.
  2. Start a Form 2290 return in Consulics and use the bulk upload to import all vehicles at once.
  3. Review the imported list for errors before transmitting; the system flags common mistakes.
  4. Transmit and download one consolidated stamped Schedule 1 listing every VIN.

Tips for fleets

Clean data is everything at fleet scale — a single mistyped VIN means a correction later. Keep your vehicle list current as trucks join and leave, and consider client and staff sub-accounts if you file on behalf of others.
