Total IFTA Miles: Enter the Total IFTA Miles traveled in IFTA jurisdictions by all qualified motor vehicles in your fleet using the fuel indicated. Report all miles traveled whether the miles are taxable or nontaxable. Round mileage to the nearest whole mile.

For IFTA jurisdictions with a surcharge, include miles traveled only once for that jurisdiction.

Total Non-IFTA Miles: For each fuel type, include total miles traveled in non-IFTA jurisdictions by all qualified motor vehicles in the fleet using the fuel type indicated. Report all mileage traveled whether the mileage is taxable or nontaxable. Round mileage to the nearest whole mile.

Non-IFTA jurisdictions are:

  • Alaska
  • the District of Colombia
  • Mexico
  • the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory of Canada

For more information on IFTA and non-IFTA miles refer to International Fuel Tax Agreement Texas Guidebook (PDF).

Total Gallons Purchased: Enter the total gallons of fuel purchased in both IFTA and non-IFTA jurisdictions by all qualified vehicles in your fleet using the fuel type indicated. Round gallons to the nearest whole gallon.

Note: Fuel is considered purchased when it is pumped into your qualified vehicles.

Jurisdiction: Select from the drop down arrows, the jurisdictions in which your qualified vehicles drove for each fuel type selected. When selecting a jurisdiction that has a surcharge, the surcharge jurisdiction must also be chosen.

Total IFTA Miles: Enter the total miles (taxable and nontaxable) traveled in each IFTA jurisdiction for this fuel type only.

Taxable Miles: Enter the IFTA taxable miles for each jurisdiction.

Purchased Gallons: Enter the total gallons of fuel purchased (whole gallons only) tax paid in each IFTA jurisdiction. When using bulk storage, report only gallons removed for use in your qualified motor vehicles. Fuel remaining in storage cannot be claimed until it is used.

Add Jurisdictions: Select Add Jurisdictions to add additional jurisdictions.

Rate Changes within a Quarter: Sometimes jurisdictions change their tax rate during a quarter. When this occurs, it is necessary to separate the miles traveled during each rate period and report them on separate lines.

Zero Rate Jurisdictions: Enter the Total IFTA Miles, taxable IFTA miles and purchased gallons (tax-paid gallons). There will be no tax due for the zero-rate jurisdictions.

Surcharge Jurisdictions: If a jurisdiction is selected and it has a corresponding surcharge, the surcharge jurisdiction must be manually selected. When entering the data, put a zero (0) in the Total IFTA Miles field.

The Taxable Miles number should match the number used for Taxable Miles in that jurisdiction, with a zero (0) in the Purchased Gallons field.
