Frequently Asked Questions About IFTA filing

1.

What is IFTA, and how does it work?

The International Fuel Tax Agreement, or IFTA, is an agreement between U.S. states and Canadian provinces that simplifies fuel tax reporting for carriers operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Instead of filing fuel taxes separately in every state or province, carriers file one quarterly IFTA fuel tax report with their base jurisdiction. Fuel taxes are then distributed based on where the miles were driven and where fuel was purchased.

Learn more about how IFTA works and quarterly fuel tax reporting.

2.

What information is required to file an IFTA report?

To generate an IFTA report, you typically need:

  1. Total miles traveled in each jurisdiction
  2. Taxable and non-taxable mileage records
  3. Fuel purchase records for each jurisdiction
  4. Vehicle and fuel type information
  • Total miles traveled in each jurisdiction
  • Taxable and non-taxable mileage records
  • Fuel purchase records for each jurisdiction
  • Vehicle and fuel type information

Keeping accurate mileage and fuel records helps reduce reporting errors, calculation issues, and potential filing problems.

Read our guide to IFTA reporting requirements and recordkeeping.

3.

When are IFTA reports due?

IFTA reports are filed quarterly. Each reporting period has its own filing deadline:

  • First Quarter, January through March: Due April 30
  • Second Quarter, April through June: Due July 31
  • Third Quarter, July through September: Due October 31
  • Fourth Quarter, October through December: Due January 31, next year.

View the quarterly IFTA filing deadlines for each reporting period.

4.

Who needs an IFTA license and stickers?

Carriers operating qualified motor vehicles across two or more IFTA jurisdictions generally need an IFTA license and decals.

A vehicle typically qualifies for IFTA if it:

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight over 26,000 pounds
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight
  • Is used in combination and exceeds 26,000 pounds combined gross vehicle weight

Learn how to get your IFTA license and stickers.

5.

How is IFTA tax calculated?

IFTA tax calculations are based on several key factors, including:

  • Total miles traveled in each jurisdiction
  • Total fuel purchased and tax-paid gallons
  • Fleet average MPG
  • Tax rates for each jurisdiction

The total IFTA tax due is calculated by comparing fuel taxes paid at the pump against taxes owed based on where the vehicle operated. This determines whether a carrier owes additional fuel tax or is eligible for a credit.

Learn how fuel taxes are calculated across IFTA jurisdictions.

6.

How do you file an IFTA report?

IFTA reports are filed with your base jurisdiction after you review your mileage, fuel purchases, jurisdiction data, and tax calculations.

With eIFTA, you can organize your mileage and fuel data, calculate IFTA taxes, and generate filing-ready IFTA reports in PDF format. These reports can then be reviewed, printed, downloaded, and submitted to your base jurisdiction.

Learn more about filing IFTA reports with your base jurisdiction.

7.

What are the penalties for late IFTA filing?

Late IFTA filing penalties vary by base jurisdiction, but many jurisdictions charge a penalty of either:

  • $50, or
  • 10% of the total tax due,

whichever amount is greater.
Interest may also apply to unpaid or late tax amounts until the balance is paid. Filing your IFTA report on time can help reduce penalties, interest, and compliance issues.

8.

Does eIFTA automate IFTA filing?

No. eIFTA does not file IFTA reports directly with your base jurisdiction.
eIFTA helps you calculate fuel taxes, organize mileage and fuel data, validate reporting details, and generate filing-ready IFTA reports for easier review and submission.
