International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)

IFTA Compliance Services for Trucking Companies

Simplify Your Fuel Tax Reporting and Stay Compliant

Managing fuel taxes across multiple states can quickly become complicated. Between tracking miles, organizing fuel receipts, calculating jurisdiction-specific taxes, and meeting quarterly deadlines, IFTA reporting can take valuable time away from running your trucking business.

Our IFTA compliance services help owner-operators, small fleets, and growing trucking companies manage their fuel tax responsibilities with greater accuracy and confidence. From IFTA registration and decals to quarterly fuel tax filing and record reconciliation, we help keep your reporting organized, accurate, and on time.

Spend less time working through fuel tax paperwork and more time keeping your trucks moving.

Get Started With IFTA Compliance

What Is IFTA?

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement between participating U.S. states and Canadian provinces that simplifies fuel tax reporting for qualified interstate motor carriers.

Instead of filing separate fuel tax reports with every jurisdiction where your trucks travel, an IFTA-licensed carrier generally files a single quarterly fuel tax return through its base jurisdiction. That return accounts for the miles traveled and fuel purchased in the participating jurisdictions.

IFTA is designed to make interstate fuel tax reporting more manageable, but accurate recordkeeping is still essential. Your mileage, fuel purchases, and jurisdiction information must be properly documented and reported.

Who Needs IFTA?

IFTA generally applies to qualified motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. A vehicle may qualify when it:

Has two axles and exceeds the applicable 26,000-pound threshold
Has three or more axles, regardless of weight
Is used in a combination where the combined weight exceeds 26,000 pounds

Requirements can vary based on your operation and jurisdiction, so determining whether your vehicles require IFTA credentials is an important first step.

If your trucking business operates across state lines with qualified vehicles, we can help you understand your IFTA requirements and get your fuel tax compliance organized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need IFTA if I only operate within one state?

Generally, IFTA applies to qualified vehicles operating in interstate commerce. A carrier that operates exclusively within one state may not need an IFTA license, depending on the state’s requirements.

Do I have to file an IFTA return if I did not drive during the quarter?

An active IFTA account generally still requires a quarterly return, even when there is no activity. State requirements should be confirmed with the applicable base jurisdiction.

What information is needed for an IFTA return?

You typically need total miles, miles by jurisdiction, fuel purchased, gallons purchased, and supporting fuel and mileage records for the reporting period.

How often do I file IFTA?

IFTA returns are generally filed four times per year, following the quarterly reporting schedule.

Is IFTA the same as IRP?

No. IFTA is related to fuel tax reporting, while IRP is related to apportioned registration for qualifying commercial vehicles operating across jurisdictions.

Do IFTA requirements apply to every truck?

No. IFTA applies to qualifying vehicles and interstate operations. Vehicle weight, axle configuration, and how the vehicle is operated are important factors in determining whether IFTA applies.

Can you help with IFTA registration and quarterly filing?

Yes. We can assist with both IFTA registration and ongoing quarterly fuel tax reporting, helping you establish your account and maintain your filing process.
