Fuel & Mileage Taxes
HOW
CAN WE
HELP?
We can help by collecting your miles and fuel amounts and calculating how much you owe to IFTA and to the states where you have state permits. We will handle the calculations, preparing the forms, and getting the payments made to the states. We will communicate with you as to what is due each quarter and help you to keep you legal in all the states that you operate in.
Trucker's Paper Trail makes it as easy as possible so that all we need from you is your trip sheets and a check!
WHO
NEEDS
IT?
Do you drive accross state lines with a vehicle over 26,000 pounds? If so, you are required to file quarterly IFTA Fuel Taxes and if you have any state permits you must also file quarterly for each state that you hold a permit in, even if no miles were run in the state(s).
Failing to file will result in your permits and accounts being suspended making you susceptible to fines and out of service orders.
Let Trucker's Paper Trail take care of Compiling and Filing your Fuel & Mileage information so that your don't have to worry about the hassle of this recurring paperwork.
COMPILE DATA
Trucker's Paper Trail is able to compile all of your mileage and fuel information that you have collected on your trip sheets and use that for calculating your fuel & mileage taxes.
You can send us raw trip sheets that only include your odometer readings, routes traveled, and fuel receipts and we can calculate all of your taxes from here. Or you can calculate your own miles per state and fuel gallons purchased per state for the quarter and we will use this data to prepare and file your forms. In some cases we can also access your data via your ELD company if you provide us with your login credentials.
After we collect and calculate your data, we will prepare the tax forms that you are required to file for the quarter. We will take care of every type, whether it is a standard IFTA or whether it is dealing with state specific permits.
Once we have the forms prepared, we will send you a “checks to write” form that will let you know which checks we need from you to complete the taxes for the quarter.
FILE TAX FORMS
After we have received your tax checks (if applicable) we will file your tax forms directly with the states – either electronically or by mail.
In some cases the tax payments can be made electronically using your checking account information.
