Trucking 101: How To File Fuel Tax Return | Quarterly IFTA

[@josephyves2377]

I know for sure every one who’s spent one dime on your education should be so proud now. I have to tell you broh, your videos are absolutely helpful, completely instructive, whenever I watch them, I feel like I’m taking a class from one of my best teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Seriously we need more people like you in this field. Again thank you man!

[@renee6511]

OMG OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GOOGLING HOW TO CALC THIS CRAP IN THE TEXAS IFTA FOR THE 3RD QUARTER. THANK GOD FOR YOU.

[@televel]

Thank you, David, for helping us understand a lot of trucking business-related questions.

[@woodsbikes6130]

Another piece of very good info Mr. McGill. My boss at my old job was very adamant about submitting the final receipt from prepaid fuel. So for all those folks who don't quite understand, just be sure to get the final receipt when you prepay your fuel. Whoever does the taxes, will not appreciate having to do the extra work to find the total number of gallons that were purchased. And if you prepay more than your tank(s) take, be sure to get that final receipt as well. That will completely end the transaction (sale) and the overage/change will be returned to the card. Keep up the good info and stay safe everyone.

[@sandrawallace8643]

Thanks David! Don't stop the videos, we need help sifting through all the stuff online. You content is so easy to understand and much needed.

[@luisa_4120]

First quarter for us since we are new in this industry. Just finished completing my return but decided to view this video before I submitted it. You hit the nail in the head with the prepaid receipt issue I am having with my driving. Luckily for the most part the rewards app contains the info needed.

[@donaldshuff7626]

I thank God for you my brother, all questions answered in on video! May God continue to give you the wisdom to endure🙏🏾👊🏾😎

[@johnfoster6205]

ELD is a good way to get mileage data, I use my online Trucking office software, it keeps all miles and routes just by entering the load information. Then I transfer that information over on to my IFTA plus account and all I do from there is print sign the form and mail. Take about 5 minutes to do. Also Kentucky, New York, New Mexico and Oregon are filed separately.

[@mardishafrancis2576]

Where do you go to file IFTA for Kentucky and New York?

[@TreySellCars]

Great video David! You are very resourceful. I learned a lot from this video. I am a tax professional and looking to help clients in the transportation industry. This was very informative

You cleared up a lot of questions I had abt IFTA. Thank you!!

[@pastorrock5431]

U r a very knowledgeable brother. Tnx so mch 4 all ur info and hardworking into these videos.

[@jamesmorris8226]

Can you do a video on how you know when to your ifta? When is it time? How you know when the end if the quarter is?

[@sweettee051988]

The 1st quarter is due in April(January-march). 2nd in July(April-june). 3rd in October(july-september) and 4th in January(october-december). Hope that helps. My husband and I have our authority and I handle all of that. New Mexico, new York, Kentucky and Oregon have their own individual taxes that you have to pay quarterly also. But you still include them with your ifta. You can only pay Oregon monthly for your 1st year and after you make a year, you pay quarterly. I made a short video on how I do mines on our trucking channel but it's not this detailed lol.

[@sweettee051988]

If you use an Eld like for instance keep truckin is what hubby and I use, it keeps up with all the miles in each state for you. Fuel, I enter fuel in manually every time we get fuel for each quarter into excel.

[@popppadoc27]

You broke it down real good thanks

Im not him but my husband and I use keep truckin. It's pretty good and it helps out A LOT when it comes to ifta and other taxes

[@ahmadaboalnadie1766]

[@ashleymcgill5241]

How about if you come back to your own yard to fuel up daily? We usually fill up mainly at the shop, and only have a few fuel receipts from another state. Thanks for this video!

[@TruckingFromScratch]

The gallons from your yard are purchased from your home state so they’ll be recorded as such. Make sense?

[@CarmelWi]

@@TruckingFromScratch you can't use the miles from your home state? Because I notice it says international so I'm wondering if the home state is not permitted for use.

[@lindagreen137]

This was the best video yet!!!! I will be subscribing and using some of your links. I am a tax preparer and I have a lot of clients that are truck drivers now. Could you do a video on how to read the Comdata card fee print out? Most of my truckers utilize this card. Thank you so much for your help!!!!

can you show in the spreadsheet on the GEORGIA IFTA website how to fill out. I also have a question my husband traveled from Ga to Texas and he pumped fuel in LA how do you put in the gallons in that state? . I'm new to all of this please show step by step. Thank you much

I Mistakenly put my NJ miles under NY and click submit, I noticed the mistake after seeing the invoice. I went back to fix and it says that I can not generate another invoice, Can someone please explain how can I fix this problem? and re-do my 3 quarter IFTA report.

[@jlmadd]

If you traveled miles in a state and did not buy fuel you may have to pay that state. Say you run Georgia to ohio and you always buy your fuel in Georgia, you will have to pay. Some states reimburse you for excess fuel for miles driven in a state some do not. Also if you go through Kentucky, your carrier must have a KYU number. They will shut you down

[@najlabadr968]

Thanks a lot for this thorough information!!!!

This is a great explanation of how to do ifta. One question that I still need to know. I recently started and need to file paper return. I do have miles driven in each state and gallons of fuel that I bought. Here is where I am confused, how do I find fuel burned in each state. Thank you so much once again

[@TruckingFromScratch]

You don’t have to worry about fuel burned. IFTA only takes into account miles driven in each state and gallons purchased in each state. Hope this helps

[@abdirahmanabdi6223]

@@TruckingFromScratch it really does help, how am I going to know how much I need to pay each state or if I am getting refund from state

Sorry being back and forth, so what two numbers do I need to add or multiply to find how much tax to pay or refund. I fueled some states and I didn't fuel some. Thank you again

Hi, back in 2021 I watched your video for the audit, I did exactly as you explained it in your video and I passed smoothly! They even congratulated me having everything quick and in order just like it happened to you! Anyways, I ended up closing it because of economic reasons. Now, I recently opened an LLC in the state of IN, and I have to idea how to create an IRP account or file IFTA for this truck I purchased for the first time. Indianapolis agents told me to do it online and then make an appointment to go in person. But I live in Jeffersonville, 2hrs away. Do you have any video creating IRP and IFTA? Please advise, and thank you in advance 🙏🏼.

[@elgansito1552]

What elog program/company do you use?

[@antonjames4867]

How do you apply and how do you know what states have hut stickers how do you get them

[@crystalsalton]

Hey David, you mentioned fuel in states where there was no load, how do we circumvent that with drivers? Are the routes from point A to point B factored?

[@hassankafinoor5013]

do you need to list the state you didn't buy fuel from?

[@TruckingFromScratch]

If you’ve driven miles in that state, then yes (even if you didn’t buy fuel in that state)

[@shreese100]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

[@mirisali1889]

OMG I NEED HELP!! I wish I can speak to you 😩

[@Bajyanama]

When you counting fuel gallons that you purchased in each state, do you count DEF as well? Or you just count fuel gallons only?

[@TruckingFromScratch]

Good question....DEF isn’t counted bc it’s not a fuel used to propel your truck

[@highrollers8279]

combine them together

[@michellefernandez3875]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@MrCarr36]

You mention persons who pays with cash or with a debit card. What happens in a situation when a person does not go back into the station and get the receipt with the break down of gallons paid for? Would the person try to calculate that number by rough estimate or would the person have to note this value in a different way for the IFTA filing? Thanks for the feedback.

[@marylawrence4418]

Did you ever get this answered?

[@yuricarrion2991]

[@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!

[@TruckingFromScratch]

Yes, all miles

[@shawest26]

Hello, We added a truck in quarter 3. How do I file the IFTA for all the trucks? Is it one tax return or multiple?

It’s one return containing the information from the total operation

[@brendarodriguez6708]

I have a question if you have 6 trucks you do it the same for each truck all together

No you can’t. You need exact miles where you’ve driven with those gallons.

[@Burroughsbikebuilds]

We have a Peterbilt Cabover box truck that is their electric variant (lease only). What happens when you have mikes and literally no fuel receipts?

[@johnnycage4504]

I have a question about the total tax I have to pay quarterly or annually. How do I do that? Or should I just hire an accountant?

[@DukeCityDom]

What if you’re going to be using paper logs? Do you need to keep track of miles in each star manually?

[@Romano108]

Yes, If you use paper logs you need to document your miles in each state. You can just put your odometer reading on the sheet real fast when you cross borders to keep track. Make sure you are documenting all your destination points in each jurisdiction and document your receipts so you can summarize your information faster at the end of the quarter or it will be harder to go back and piece together.

[@shaibuamadu1840]

I traveled in five states TN, KY, IL, MO, KS back and forth on a dedicated run, but only fueled in MO every trip because fuel was cheaper there so to file IFTA I had a lot of fuel to report but only in one state and I owed a lot of taxes on my report. Can you explain why and thanks!

[@Romano108]

The tax rate is set by the member jurisdictions you drive through. If a state has a higher fuel tax than the state or province you buy your fuel in then you have to pay the difference. Likewise you can get a refund if the state you buy your fuel in is more expensive and the states you drove in had a lower tax rate.

[@Just_doing_kei]

Inspiring!
