What You Will Learn — In This Session
The IFTA Filings and Permits Training is a single 4-hour live Zoom session that covers everything a carrier, owner-operator, or compliance professional needs to file IFTA quarterly fuel taxes correctly and manage state operating permits.
Part 1 — Understanding IFTA (approximately 1 hour)
What the International Fuel Tax Agreement is and which jurisdictions participate. Who is required to file (qualifying commercial vehicles operating in two or more IFTA member jurisdictions). How IFTA allocates fuel tax between states based on miles traveled. Common misconceptions about IFTA that lead to filing errors and penalties.
Part 2 — Registration, Decals, and Record-Keeping (approximately 45 minutes)
How to register for IFTA in your base jurisdiction. Annual decal requirements and renewal process. What fuel purchase records must contain to be IFTA-compliant. Mileage records — what counts, how to track it, and what documentation survives an audit. GPS and ELD data as IFTA record sources.
Part 3 — Quarterly Filing (approximately 1 hour)
Step-by-step walkthrough of a quarterly IFTA return. How to calculate total miles by jurisdiction and total gallons purchased by jurisdiction. The IFTA tax rate matrix — where to find current rates for each state. Common errors that trigger audits: rounding, missing receipts, fuel purchased in non-IFTA jurisdictions. How to handle amendments if you file incorrectly.
Part 4 — State Operating Permits (approximately 45 minutes)
Which states require special permits for commercial vehicle operations beyond IFTA: Connecticut, New York (HUT), Kentucky (KYU), New Mexico (WDT), and Oregon (OWT). How to register for each permit, what the reporting requirements are, and how to stay current when rates and requirements change. Permit management for carriers operating in multiple permit states.
