8. Motor Fuel Taxes (IFTA) Setup

[Tony]

<P>Establishing your IFTA account is typically setup with your states department of revenue(State IRS). It is typically a form to be either mailed or you can apply in person. Basically you are setting up another tax account with them for the use of motor fuel within their state. Participating states will sell you stickers/decals which are applied to your truck as proof that you are paying your taxes. If you can apply in person, you really should as they will typically give you the decals immediately. Without these decals on your truck, expect to be fined as you cross state lines. IFTA is a required filing and taxes are paid quarterly.</P>
