If you operate trucks across state lines in the United States, there’s one thing you must keep in order: IFTA. And let’s be real— for many truckers, IFTA is one of the most confusing and stressful parts of compliance.

If you’re behind, unsure how to report, or simply want to avoid costly mistakes, you’re not alone — and yes, there is a solution.



What Is IFTA and Why Does It Matter?

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is the system states use to collect and distribute diesel fuel taxes when a truck operates in more than one state.

In simple terms:

  • You report how many miles you drove in each state

  • You report how much fuel you purchased

  • Your base state calculates whether you owe taxes or have a credit

Mistakes with IFTA can lead to:

  • Fines

  • Interest

  • Audits

  • Suspension of plates or DOT authority


Signs You Need Help With Your IFTAs

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get professional help:

  • ❌ You haven’t filed one or more quarters

  • ❌ You don’t know your mileage by state

  • ❌ You buy diesel in cash and don’t keep receipts

  • ❌ You have IFTA but have never filed a report

  • ❌ You use an ELD but don’t know how to pull IFTA reports

  • ❌ You received a letter from the state and don’t know what to do

Common IFTA Mistakes We See All the Time

  • Reporting incorrect mileage

  • Not separating loaded vs. empty miles

  • Missing or incomplete fuel receipts

  • Filing late

  • Assuming “nothing will happen” if you don’t file

Spoiler alert: something will happen — and it gets expensive.
