The deadline to file your 2016’s 4th Quarter IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) Return is January 31, 2017. A Quarterly IFTA Tax Return must be filed even if the licensee does not operate or purchase any taxable fuel in an IFTA member jurisdiction during the quarter.
What you need:
- Mileage log-whether you use manual trip sheets, GPS, or electronic trip sheets; it is not only necessary to have in order to file your quarterly IFTA return, but you will need these if you are even audited.
- Fuel Receipts-you will need to know how many gallons of fuel were purchased in each state.
Options to prepare and file your return:
- Doing it yourself, you can calculate your own return by hand and mail or E-File the return. To find out the current tax rate for each state go to www.iftach.org.
- Using a software program that will calculate your return for you, like TAXIFTA.com, which will zero down your chances of miscalculations
