  1. Weigh 26,000 pounds or more
  2. Have three or more axles
  3. Travel between two or more jurisdictions

When is the IFTA deadline?

IFTA is filed quarterly to the driver’s base jurisdiction. The details for each quarter are as follows: 

Quarter 1: January 1 – March 31
Quarter 2: April 1 – June 30
Quarter 3: July 1 –  September 30
Quarter 4: October 1 – December 31

Quarter 2: July 31 (August 1, 2022)
Quarter 3: October 31
Quarter 4: January 31

What is required to file IFTA?

You need to generate an IFTA report in order to file IFTA. This report will consist of the following:

  1. Business name
  2. Trucks that meet the IFTA requirements
  3. The amount of fuel purchased and miles that were driven in each jurisdiction

Who do drivers file IFTA to?

Drivers file IFTA to their base jurisdiction, this way the base jurisdiction will distribute the fuel taxes owed to each state.

HUT is a separate filing requirement that stands for Highway Use Tax. This is not the same thing as the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax and is only required for drivers with base jurisdictions in Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon. The HUT needs to be filed directly with the driver’s base jurisdiction.

Can fuel cards help with IFTA?

Fuel cards can be beneficial to have, especially when it comes to IFTA. Fuel cards are credit cards that you can use at the pump and save up to fifteen cents per gallon. With the price of fuel increasing, this can be beneficial in the long run. You can use your credit card statement to help record IFTA fuel purchases in each jurisdiction when generating your IFTA report. 

Where can you generate an IFTA report?

In order to file IFTA with your base jurisdiction, you first need to generate your IFTA report. ExpressTruckTax has a sister company, TruckLogics, where you can generate IFTA reports in state-specific formats. TruckLogics is a full Trucking Management Software that helps users manage all aspects of their trucking business including dispatching, assigning drivers to dispatches, keeping track of equipment maintenance, paying drivers, and more. If you sign up for the preferred or premium plan, you are able to generate IFTA reports as well. If you do not need a full Trucking Management Software, TruckLogics offers an IFTA-only option. Simply sign up, enter your information, and enter your truck and fuel mileage information. 

You can either enter your fuel mileage information through manual entry, bulk upload through the TruckLogics excel template, or through Motive ELD. TruckLogics also keeps track of all of the IFTA tax rates and does all of the calculations for you. If you have vehicles that have different fuel types, your vehicles will automatically be put in separate reports for each fuel type. You only need to pay per report per quarter once you generate the report. 

The third quarter IFTA deadline is only a week away. What are you waiting for? Go to TruckLogics and generate your IFTA report quickly and easily today!

Generate Your 3rd Quarter IFTA Report Before the October 31st Deadline

IFTA stands for the International Fuel Tax Agreement which was made between the United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and District of Columbia) and ten Canadian provinces. It must be filed by drivers of vehicles with three or more axles, weigh 26,000 pounds or more, and drive through two or more jurisdictions. In order to file IFTA, you must generate a report with the amount of fuel purchased and miles traveled in each jurisdiction each quarter. IFTA reports are filed quarterly with the driver’s base jurisdiction so that the tax can be distributed to each jurisdiction fuel was purchased. 

The time frame of each quarter is as follows:
Quarter 1: January 1 – March 31
Quarter 2: April 1 – June 30

What Is IFTA?

Most of you know this information. But for those in the back, IFTA is an agreement between the lower 48 states and the ten Canadian provinces that requires all interstate motor carriers with the following qualifications to obtain an IFTA tax license and file quarterly IFTA reports: 

  • Your vehicle has a GVW above 26,000 lbs
  • Your vehicle has 3 or more axles regardless of weight
  • Your vehicle crosses state lines

IFTA Deadlines

Once you have an IFTA tax license, you must file quarterly IFTA reports. The quarterly IFTA report filing dates are listed below. These dates are vital for you to remember so that you never fall behind and owe late filing penalties. 

  • 1st Quarter Deadline – April 30th 
  • 2nd Quarter Deadline – July 31st 
  • 3rd Quarter Deadline – October 31st
  • 4th Quarter Deadline- January 31st

To file your 4th quarter IFTA report, you must provide the total mileage driven and total gallons of fuel purchased in each state for your entire fleet from October 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2021. You must file a quarterly IFTA report, even if you have had a zero mileage quarter!

Prepare For The 4th Quarter IFTA Deadline Now!

Congratulations on another year behind the wheel! 2020 was a wild year for all of us (especially truckers). 

There’s no telling what 2021 will have in store for you as you keep on truckin’. We’re sure you’ve come up with some great new years resolutions. One resolution you should add is getting started on the 4th quarter IFTA deadline that’s coming up on February 1.

Prepare For The 4th Quarter IFTA Deadline

Your 4th quarter IFTA return is due in about a week so we’re here to help you prepare for the deadline. If you need a little refreshing, IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement put in place by the 48 contiguous United States and 10 Canadian provinces.

It was created in order to simplify the reporting of fuel used by qualifying motor vehicles that travel between at least two or more jurisdictions. The collected taxes are redistributed among the jurisdictions.

Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA reporting if it:

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds 
  • Has two axles and a registered gross weight exceeding 26,000 pounds 
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight 
  • Or has a combination weight exceeding 26,000 pounds. 

In order to comply with IFTA, you will apply for your IFTA license with your base jurisdiction or home state and keep it in your cab at all times. You will also receive two IFTA decals that you will need to keep on your driver’s side door at all times. Plus, you will need to complete your IFTA return four times a year.

You will need to provide the following information to complete your IFTA return:

  • Total miles traveled per jurisdiction 
  • Total gallons of fuel consumed per jurisdiction 
  • Total tax paid gallons of fuel purchased per jurisdiction 
  • And the current tax rate per jurisdiction. 

If you fail to complete your IFTA return you will have some penalties to face and they aren’t cheap. If you fail to file by the deadline you will face a penalty of $50 or 10% of the total amount due, depending on which amount is higher.

Then you will face a monthly fee of .4167% of the tax due until you fully pay the amount you owe. States also reserve the right to impose their own penalties and revoke your IFTA license, which would park you!

The International Fuel Tax Agreement

The International Fuel Tax Agreement was created to simplify fuel reporting by qualified vehicles operating in more than one jurisdiction.

You’re going to need to complete IFTA filing if you have a qualified vehicle, which is any vehicle designed, maintained, and/or used to transport people or property.

In addition, qualified vehicles have:

–  Two axles and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds or
–  Two axles and a registered weight exceeding 26,000 pounds or
–  Three or more or
–  A combination weight exceeding 26,000 pounds.

Thanks to the International Fuel Tax Agreement, you’ll only have to file your IFTA tax with your base jurisdiction, which is where your vehicle is registered.

Each jurisdiction has different IFTA filing rules, so be sure to check this list

IFTA reporting is filed 4 times a year with your base jurisdiction to ensure the proper allocation of fuel tax.
