Born out of Houston Texas in 2003, INSTANT 2290 is the original 2290 e-file provider, and our purpose is simple: improve IRS 2290 filing. INSTANT 2290 was the first company to offer Form 2290 automation to the trucking community, and we’ve remained singularly focused on Form 2290 to this day.
Since e-filing began in 2007, our platform has helped process nearly 3 million Heavy Highway Vehicles. We worked closely with the IRS to build the best 2290 e-file provider software available. INSTANT 2290’s founder, Phil Boyer, even helped the IRS Development Consortium establish its electronic filing program for the 2290 return, shaping how the program works today.
Our state-of-the-art software makes filing Form 2290 as quick and easy as possible, but what makes INSTANT 2290 the best 2290 e-file provider is our people. Not only does our team care about and value one another, we extend that same dedication to our customers. The incredible employees at INSTANT 2290 never cease to go above and beyond.
President, CEO
After years working as a bank technology executive focused on delivering advanced technologies and payment systems, Phil knew the importance of transactional security and redefining business-as-usual technology. After a discussion with a friend over lunch in 2002, Phil was inspired to build technology that would make an impact in a small vertical market. He saw an opportunity to make IRS Form 2290 filing better. In 2003, INSTANT 2290 was formed in Houston, TX with a simple mission to “Be a light in the world.”
David worked as a consultant for INSTANT 2290 on an ‘as-needed’ basis for nearly a decade before coming on board as an employee in April 2021, bringing many years of business experience to his role as Vice President. At INSTANT 2290, he enjoys the fact that every day is different and each challenge is different; however, the quality of the people thankfully never changes. David believes people make the company, and one would be very hard pressed to find better people to work with and work for than at INSTANT 2290. When lending his expertise to the management of INSTANT 2290, David enjoys a fine wine (he’s something of a connoisseur), challenging himself to learn jazz guitar, and spending time with his family.

The IRS considers vehicles to be Suspended from 2290 tax if they seldomly drive on public roadways. The Form 2290 is not only about payment - it is a statement that you agree you will not drive your vehicle(s) more than 5,000 miles (or 7,500 miles for farming vehicles) during the tax year. Your vehicle registration office will still require you to show proof you filed the Form 2290, even if your total tax is $0.
Regardless of how you file your Form 2290, the IRS requires a business tax ID called an Employer Identification Number (EIN). If you do not know your EIN or you are unsure whether you have one, call the IRS Business Support line at 800-829-4933.
