What IFTA Software Does
Every quarter, carriers running in more than one IFTA member jurisdiction must report the miles driven and fuel bought in each one. The return compares the fuel you used in each state with the fuel you bought there, and the difference is the tax you owe or the credit you get.
IFTA software does that math for you. You record trips and fuel, and it produces the quarterly report. If you want to see the math first, try the free IFTA calculator or read how to calculate IFTA tax step by step.
What to Look for in IFTA Reporting Software
- Miles by state, without manual logs. The tool should split each trip by jurisdiction, from trip addresses or GPS and ELD data. Mileage is the hardest input to get right.
- Fuel tracked by state. Purchases need to land in the right jurisdiction so your tax credits are correct.
- Current rates and quarterly reports. Rates change every quarter. The report should be ready to file, not another spreadsheet to finish.
- An audit trail. Every line should tie back to trips and fuel records. See the IFTA audit survival guide.
- More than IFTA. If you run New Mexico, Kentucky, Oregon or New York you also need weight-distance tax reports, plus IRP mileage.
- Honest pricing. Per-truck pricing, a real trial, and no long contract.
