3. Express Truck Tax Services

A. Tax Calculation Services.
We diligently work to ensure the accuracy of the calculations on every form prepared using the Express Truck Tax Services (“Services”).
(i) If you are a registered user and you pay an IRS penalty and/or interest solely because of a calculation error on a form prepared using the Services or Software, and not as a result of, among other things, your failure to enter all required information accurately, willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information on your tax return, misclassification of information on the tax return, or failure to file an amended return to avoid or reduce an applicable penalty/interest after we have announced updates or corrections to the Software in time for you to file an amended return, then ETT will reimburse you for the amount of any related IRS penalty and/or interest assessed by the IRS. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping ETT apprised of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be notified of such updates or corrections. You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and providing any other information ETT reasonably requests. A "registered user" is a user from whom we have received the information necessary to permit such person to print or electronically file a tax return prepared using the Software and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(ii) If you believe such a calculation error occurred, you must notify ETT as soon as you learn of the mistake (and in no event later than 30 days after the penalty or interest is assessed) at https://www.expresstrucktax.com/irs2290/contactus/, or by mail at Express Truck Tax, LLC, 500 New Karner Road, Albany, NY 12205. ETT will then contact you promptly to resolve the issue. To resolve your matter, ETT may require your Express Truck Tax data file and other supporting information such as a copy of the IRS notice, evidence of payment of the specified penalty and/or interest, and a copy of your printed tax return.
B.Electronic Filing Services.
(i) If you choose to file your return electronically, the tax return will be forwarded to ETT's Electronic Filing Servers, where it will be converted to and stored in a standardized format, and then transmitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You are responsible for verifying the status of your return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing it manually in the event that the taxing authority rejects your electronically filed return (e.g., because the Business Name and EIN don't match). You agree to review your tax return for errors or omissions before electronically filing or mailing it by mail. To the extent required by applicable law and regulation, ETT stores and maintains information that you provide to us. We are not required or obligated to provide you with copies of this information.
(ii) Although tax filing occurs regularly throughout the year, occasionally the IRS will not accept a return due to various reasons including, but not limited to, maintenance of their computer systems. The Services may be operational during this time for you to prepare your tax returns, but if the return is not accepted, it is your responsibility as the taxpayer to resubmit the return until it has been accepted. It is always your responsibility as the taxpayer to file the returns, and if necessary, you may need to make changes or amend the return if it was submitted with inaccurate information. The IRS requires us to notify it, in connection with the electronic filing of your tax return, of the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer from which the return originated and whether the email address of the person electronically filing the return has been collected. By using the Services, you consent to that disclosure to the IRS, as well the disclosure of any other information relating to your use of the Services as required by law or IRS regulation.
Help and Support. We may use a variety of methods (e.g., in-product, internet, e-mail, chat, text or instant messaging, fax, and phone) to provide technical support and customer service in connection with the Software or Services. You hereby consent to our use of any phone numbers, addresses, email addresses or other contact information provided by you to provide customer service, technical support or other necessary information related to the Software or Services.
The terms and conditions governing the offering of this support, which may require the payment of an additional fee, are subject to change as announced by ETT from time to time.

C. Third Party Websites.
The Software and Services may contain or reference links to websites operated by third parties ("Third Party Websites"). These links are provided as a convenience only. Such Third Party Websites are not under the control of ETT and ETT is not responsible for the content of any Third Party Website or any link contained in a Third Party Website. ETT does not review, approve, monitor endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third Party Websites, and the inclusion of any link in the Software or Services or communications from ETT is not and does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by ETT or its parent companies of any information contained in any Third Party Website. In no event will ETT or its parent companies be responsible for the information contained in such Third Party Website or for your use of or inability to use such website. Access to any Third Party Website is at your own risk, and you acknowledge and understand that linked Third Party Websites may contain terms and privacy policies that are different from those of ETT.

D. Payment & Collection.
You agree to pay ETT any agreed upon amounts related to your licensing of Express Truck Tax, Services or Software. ETT reserves the right to seek collection of any unpaid agreed upon amounts due.
Late Payment Charge and Dishonored Check or Other Instrument Fee. . If the entire amount of payment due is not received by the payment due date, a late payment charge will be charged to you. ETT may assign unpaid late balances to a collection agency for appropriate action. You agree to reimburse ETT for all costs and expenses incurred to recover sums due, including the fees of any collection agency, a collection fee charged by ETT at the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law but not to exceed 18% to cover the internal collection-related costs ETT has incurred on such account(s) through and including the date on which ETT refer(s) the account(s) to such third party, and attorneys' fees and other legal expenses. You will be charged a fee for any check or other instruments (including credit card chargebacks) tendered by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. 5% interest is charged for any late payments. If there is a chargeback issued by a bank for a service fee legitimately issued by ETT for the use of the Software, it will be disputed with every detail of proof that the Software was used by you, and Services have been rendered. In the event that a legitimate Service charge is reversed by a bank, you will be liable for the original amount of the Service fee and an additional $100.00 chargeback fee. This chargeback fee is intended to offset the added labor costs and bank fees incurred when disputing a chargeback.
Tax Payment and Service Charge. When using Express Truck Tax, there are 2 types of payments that can be initiated using the Software: Tax Payments and Service Charges.

  • Tax Payments are processed directly by the IRS. Tax Payments are not collected by ETT. The Software initiates the payment by communicating the taxpayer’s preferred payment method by choosing from 4 tax payment options: Electronic Funds Withdrawal, EFTPS, Check / Money Order, or Credit Card Tax Payment. If Electronic Funds Withdrawal is selected, the taxpayer can submit their bank account and routing information to the IRS via the Form 2290 filing, and the IRS will withdraw the funds. However, if any other payment option is selected, it is the taxpayer’s responsibility to make the tax payment using either EFTPS, Check / Money Order, or an IRS Approved Credit Card Processor.
  • Service Charges are processed and received by ETT using a credit or debit card. These charges are specifically for Services provided by Express Truck Tax, LLC. This Service fee must be paid in full in order to complete the e-filing process using Express Truck Tax.

4. User ID and Password Security.

You shall not permit or allow other persons to have access to or use your user ID and password, except if you choose to provide that information to ETT's authorized technical support personnel to assist you.
