If you are asking how to file IFTA, start with your base jurisdiction. That is the place where your vehicles are registered and where your operational records are kept or can be made available. The base jurisdiction sends the quarterly return, and you use that return to file for all member jurisdictions.
Where you file
File with your base jurisdiction, not one return at a time to each member jurisdiction. Timely filing and payment to the base jurisdiction covers the filing duty for the other member jurisdictions. If you want a quick overview of timing, see IFTA quarter dates and who must file IFTA.
What you need in hand
Have your distance, fuel volume, and the form the base jurisdiction sent. The base jurisdiction furnishes the return forms at no charge before the due date, and missing the form does not remove the duty to file. A simple quarter checklist can help you gather records, and a quarterly packet can keep supporting documents together.
Online filing
If your base jurisdiction offers online filing, use its own site to submit the return. Haulbook is not a base jurisdiction login. The app can hold miles and gallons so you can bring your records together before you file.
- File on the base jurisdiction site
- Use the return that jurisdiction provides
- Keep records ready before the due date
Check the current tax rate on the official IFTA site before you pay.
Not tax advice. Haulbook is not IFTA, Inc. and not your base jurisdiction. The rate is published quarterly by IFTA and must be checked on the official IFTA site.
