All You Need To Know About The 4th Quarter IFTA Deadline

Posted on January 26, 2022 by - IFTA reporting

January 31st is coming at you faster than you realize. If you are over the age of 31, you know what I mean. You blink, and it’s Christmas, New Year’s, then Easter again and again and again!

Your fourth quarter IFTA report is due Monday, January 31st. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need and how we can make your life easier. 

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! 

How To Generate Your Report

If this sounds overwhelming and you are unsure where to start, we recommend heading over to TruckLogics where you can create a file-ready IFTA report in just a few easy steps.

A Helpful Guide For Tackling Your IFTA Renewals This Year

Posted on December 1, 2021 by - IFTA tax filing

Here at ExpressTruckTax, our team is all about helping you stay compliant and keeping your truck on the road. Whether that is by helping you file your Form 2290, or helping you stay ahead of other industry requirements. 

It is important that you renew your IFTA licensing for 2021 on time! Many states’ renewal deadline is December 31, 2021. 

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we know how easy it can be to forget! So, we are breaking down the renewal process and providing all the information you need to get started!

A Crash Course in IFTA

Here’s a quick refresher. Get ready for a tongue twister! IFTA stands for International Fuel Tax Agreement. This was put into effect by the 48 states of the continental US and 10 Canadian provinces. 

This is basically just a way to make the fuel tax collection and interstate commerce reporting easier for everyone involved. 

Under federal law, you must abide by IFTA regulations if your vehicle is used, designed, or maintained for the transportation of persons or property, and at least one of the following is true: 

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or registered gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 26,000 pounds
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight
  • Is used in combination when the weight of such combination is more than 26,000 pounds GVW or registered GVW.

If your vehicle qualifies for an IFTA license, then your vehicle also qualifies for the IFTA renewal! 

Where Do I Start?

You should start with your base jurisdiction! Each year states send out a renewal packet, email, or some form of information to help you through the renewal process. 

If your deadline for renewal is December 31, 2021, then you should have already received this. 

If you haven’t already received your packet or email,  it’s time to give your state’s IFTA department a call. You can also check for renewal information on their website. 

Renewal Requirements

Most states will allow you to renew your license online through your IFTA portal. 

Generally, most jurisdictions will require that you have filed and paid for the last four quarters if you were operating before they will renew your license for the next year. 

The previous four quarters include: 

  • 2020, Quarter 4
  • 2021, Quarter 1 
  • 2021, Quarter 2
  • 2021, Quarter 3 

Now, listen closely, this is very important: your renewal must be completed, signed, and returned by the deadline to ensure that there is no delay in receiving your license and decals. 

Some states will offer drivers a grace period for displaying the new decals, but this is not true for every state. You will need to check with your jurisdiction to confirm this.

What New Truckers Need To Know About IFTA Reporting

Posted on April 27, 2021 by - ifta fuel tax

If you are new to the trucking industry let us say congratulations!

There’s a lot to learn about how to manage all of the required trucking taxes and registration. Just for starters, you will need everything from Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, your IRP, and of course your IFTA quarterly fuel tax report. To help you get started here is what new truckers need to know about IFTA reporting.

What New Truckers Need To Know About IFTA Reporting

IFTA, or the International Fuel Tax Agreement, is an arrangement between 48 of the United States and 10 Canadian provinces to report fuel use by motor carriers that operate in more than one jurisdiction (state). The IFTA fuel tax redistributes fuel taxes equally among the jurisdictions.

To show you filed your IFTA return and pay the taxes owed by the deadline you will be issued an IFTA license and IFTA stickers. The license should be kept in your truck at all times and the IFTA stickers are displayed under your driver’s side window.

Vehicle Qualifications For IFTA Reporting

Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA reporting if it travels between more than one jurisdiction and:

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

IFTA Quarterly Fuel Tax Report Requirements

You are required to complete an IFTA report four times a year and file with your base jurisdiction (home state). Your base jurisdiction is where your qualifying vehicles are required to be registered and where your information is available in the event of an IFTA audit.

    • The total miles traveled per jurisdiction including taxable and nontaxable, IFTA and non-IFTA, and trip permit miles
    • The total gallons of fuel consumed in each jurisdiction including taxable and nontaxable, IFTA, and trip permit miles
    • The number of gallons of fuel purchased per jurisdiction
    • The tax paid on each gallon of fuel purchased per jurisdiction

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

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

Keep track of your IFTA fuel tax mileage and fuel records to help IFTA reporting go smoothly each deadline.

Before we drive headlong into today’s IFTA reporting deadline, let’s review the basics of what you need to know.

What is IFTA?

If you are asking yourself “What is IFTA?” then you are in worse shape than I expected. But don’t worry I got you. The International Fuel Tax Agreement, or IFTA, quarterly fuel tax report allows you to travel in all participating member jurisdictions with a single fuel tax license. To operate in two or more jurisdictions, you are required to have an IFTA sticker and license.

You receive your IFTA stickers and license through you base jurisdiction which is your home state or where your vehicle is registered. Your IFTA license needs to be renewed annually in December. When you hold an IFTA license, you are required to file an IFTA quarterly fuel tax report that shows and calculated how much fuel tax you owe (or are credited) to remain compliant.

In short, IFTA is used to report and determine the net tax refund that’s due and to redistribute taxes from collecting states to due states. This agreement is between the lower 48 United States and 10 Canadian provinces, this regulation was put into place to simplify fuel reporting by those who use qualified motor vehicles.

Your vehicle qualifies for IFTA reporting if:

  • Has two axles and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,00 pounds
  • Has two axles and a registered gross weight exceeding 26,000 pounds
  • Has three or more axles regardless of weight
  • Or has a combined weight exceeding 26,000 pounds

To complete your IFTA report you need to provide the following information:

  • The total miles traveled per jurisdiction
  • The total gallons of fuel consumed per jurisdiction
  • The total tax paid gallons of fuel purchased per jurisdiction, and 
  • The current tax rate per jurisdiction
