IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement)

What Does IFTA Mean for Truckers?

IFTA stands for International Fuel Tax Association. If your commercial unit crosses states lines (interstate), and if your unit’s weight grosses over 26, 000 pounds, or has 3 or more axles, you are required to have an IFTA account and record your miles and fuel for each state you drive through.

This allows the states to get their portion of the revenue from the fuel taxes you pay based on the miles you run in each state.

How Do I Get My IFTA Decals?

If your truck is required to have IFTA, you will need to apply IFTA decals to both sides of your truck. When we open your IFTA account, these decals will be sent to you via mail within two weeks. You cannot run until you have these decals applied to your truck.

Keeping Track of Your Miles and Fuel – Fuel Tax Services

Truckers with an IFTA account are required to keep track of their miles and fuel by state for each month. This can be done manually via a Trip Sheet or you might have an ELD installed in your unit. Note: ELD units are required in trucks model year 2000 and newer per the FMCSA.

We at Pro Wheels USA can handle the paperwork for you. You send in your ELD report or Trip Sheets and your fuel receipts and we will record them into a database and keep them on file in case you are ever audited. We will also file your quarterly tax reports with the State.

What is Quarterly Fuel Tax Reporting?

Every three months, you are required to file a tax report with the State to see if you owe any fuel taxes or maybe you might get a credit.

The Schedule for Quarterly Fuel Tax Reporting is:
