Thanks for watching

[@ramankang5660]

Can i get your number for learning ifta

[@cindyfeng2265]

Hi Brandon, may I ask the total gallons of fuel, does it included the gallons of DEF? Or just diesel only? Thank you

[@olenavl]

Great gob! Thanks a lot! You saved me $400 for the IFTA online course!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊☕

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Glad it was helpful to you!

[@sachikolunsford536]

Thank you so much for your help! You explained it very well and really answered all my questions.

[@tinamunker8746]

Always remember to keep detailed paper copies or backup the electronic records for 4 yrs in case of an audit. PLEASE!

[@raheemtheinvestor]

4 years seems unnecessary

[@tinamunker8746]

Sorry, that is the requirement. You can gamble & not do it but you will pay dearly if you have no records.

[@6155ish]

Thank you very clear and concise!

[@leanncottle8785]

Great video. Thank you for keeping it simple! Do we include DEF gallons purchased in IFTA quarterly filings or just the fuel?

[@FerOrtegaif3r17]

Just Fuel.

[@rachellecottrell4199]

Thanks for posting. This was super helpful!!

[@mohamedhassanmohamed3713]

Thank you bro for this video. I wonder what’s the difference between tax paid gallon and total gallons and how can I find them . Thank you again

[@Dieurinel]

you provided information only for 2 columns, but the IFTA filling have 3 Columns: Total miles, Taxable miles and Tax Paid Gallons, and you only give the total miles and Tax paid Gallons, so base on your illustration how to get the Taxable miles?

[@benkutenets2391]

to find the website you need, which also usually has a video to help, in google search IFTA followed by the state you are centered in such as "IFTA California" will usually show the proper government filing site as the first link

[@leanncottle8785]

Thank you again for great info. Enjoy your videos. Clear and simple!

[@JacobsLifestyleWreckedByNature]

Very helpful years later thank you

[@ninja250r2008]

Thank you for the explanation. This example made me laugh because we didn't get fuel in SC and they have some of the cheapest fuel haha.

[@moseshenderson4355]

Good job my brother very explainable understanding what you said

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Thanks!

[@leanncottle8785]

Great video! Very clear and informative! Thank you!

[@thereckchanic4709]

Educational is power. Very informative. I have a question. Driver A has one truck that is leased to a mega company and runs OTR and that said mega company file his fuel taxes. Why is it that every week fuel taxes are taken out of his settlement? Is driver A also paying for the mega fleet trucks fuel taxes as well? If so, this is unfair practices.

[@shafiqasafihussain8164]

First I want to thank you for the educational video I have a question if we have more than one driver do we calculate their miles and gallons at each states snd then put them together? please answer me I need it ASAP

[@jadevote]

Very well explained ! THANKS

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Thanks

[@genesy8615]

Thank you for this video! I have a question about the difference between Total Miles and Taxable Miles. I’m also filing in my home state Indiana. How do I know what the taxable miles are?

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

In my experience, it's the same. Generally, nontaxable miles are the miles traveled through places that aren't apart of IFTA or require you to obtain a fuel permit to travel through.

[@truckerraven.8906]

Great explanation, thank you very much.

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Appreciate that. Thanks for watching

[@desireevalle3399]

Do you round up on the gallons ? Thank you

[@FelixxDaily]

Do you have to sign up to an ifta website or do you pay ifta directly from a keep trucking app?

[@mlwilliams7505]

good evening, I can truly appreciate your direct simple approach for teaching upon ITFA reporting. I wish to ask you a question with the lease purchase truck I have. The company gave me a fuel card but was dipping into my settlement each week with no cut off with the fuel deductions so I up tanned my own fuel card. now, they haven't said anything about the fuel purchases but what about the reporting of fuel. Do I just not concern myself with it or do I register with my state IFTA , and If so, the truck has a present IFTA sticker on it so I just lease the truck but now pay for my own fuel. Please advise

[@jordan0991]

So from my knowledge if you are running your own plates on that truck then you would have a IFTA account, if you are not running your own plates and they are not registered to you than no you do not have to file anything, that is the company’s responsibility, I do recommend holding onto your fuel receipts for tax reasons and if they were to ever ask you for them for their own IFTA account purposes.

Thanks

[@madisongingrich3525]

Thank you! Very helpful!!

[@Parasefvirte]

You need to stop looking for the cheapest fuel, you will end up paying more taxes, just buy the mostly expensive and you will have reimburse Is like making a savings account

[@karvonexpress8308]

Great explanation! Thank you

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Thanks!

[@rich1544]

Thank you

[@remixx45]

How do you track how many miles you’ve driven in each state?

[@thereckchanic4709]

The keep trucking ELD automatically does this crossing each state line. Back in the old days we used to write down the odometer entering each state with the date then do the math to get the actual miles travel in each state. Now it's easy peesy

[@debbietruong8137]

Hi sir, Can you help me with this? I’m filling IFTA in PA now, but I have 20miles in District of Columbia. PA called this is non IFTA mileage report. So do I have to report 20 miles I traveled in here. Thank you and much appreciated

[@americanpridedispatch5842]

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Thanks

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

You’re welcome

[@gorgeousreacting1978]

Very we’ll explained.

[@Mike-Palmer]

You really didnt explain how to file the ifta. You just stated what most people already know, keep track of the miles and gallons. How to file the Ifta should be the piece of paper im looking at that wants me to add I and J then line 6 with 7 and so on, and the tax credits, etc...

[@debbietruong8137]

Yes. That’s what I want to know too

[@Mike-Palmer]

@@debbietruong8137 I skipped the paper filing, and I do it on the IFTA website, its easy to follow along and input your info.

[@tereg1022]

what are total ifta miles and taxable miles

[@leonorlopez3217]

Is basically the same,but in case certain miles are not taxable you have to excluded. Like GA they had a tax exemption

[@abdirizakmohamed8477]

Is it possible to have one on one conversation with you?

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

what's your email address?

[@dpway4929]

Thank you for the information! Do you add empty (deadhead) miles as well to your taxable IFTA miles ? I get my miles from ELD and it seems to be accurate but the miles from ELD are more than in my trip reports because of the empty miles. Thank you!

[@Dee-ti3hu]

How do you get tax paid gallons

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

Gallons typically come from the reports from a fuel card. If not, then receipts.

[@disarmyou84]

How to you apply or enroll in ifta

[@brandonlindsaycpa]

In Indiana it’s through the Motor Carrier Services. There should be a similar government division/department in your state.

[@lashan4636]

What if it was no operation?

[@leonorlopez3217]

You file no activity

[@jj5833]

No one can make one for Massachusetts

If you use zeros you will get flagged
