Quarterly IFTA Fuel Tax Filing Services for Carriers & Fleets
Keeping up with IFTA quarterly tax filings doesn’t have to be a burden. We provide professional filing services for owner-operators and trucking companies of all sizes, ensuring accurate fuel and mileage reporting every quarter so you can stay focused on the road.
What Is IFTA Quarterly Fuel Tax Filing?
If you operate under the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA), you’re required to submit Form IFTA-100 every quarter. This report includes:
- Total miles traveled in each IFTA jurisdiction
- Gallons of fuel purchased and used
- Taxes owed or refunds due
All reports are submitted to your base state, which distributes taxes to the appropriate states or provinces.
| Quarter | Period Covered | Due Date | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | January 1 – March 31 | 30-Apr | |
| Q2 | April 1 – June 30 | 31-Jul | |
| Q3 | July 1 – September 30 | 31-Oct | |
| Q4 | October 1 – December 31 | January 31 (Next Year) |
Didn’t Operate? You Still Need to File.
Even if your truck was inactive during the quarter, a Zero Return must still be submitted. Failing to do so may result in fines or license revocation.
What’s Included in Our Quarterly Filing Services:
- Accurate completion and filing of Form IFTA-100
- Tax calculation (owed or refundable) based on your records
- Review of your mileage and fuel purchase documentation
- Deadline reminders and filing alerts
- Help with audit preparation and compliance

Decal renewals and replacements
At IRP Trucks, we make it easy for trucking companies and owner-operators to renew or replace their IFTA decals quickly and affordably. Whether your current decals are expiring or have been lost or damaged, we’ll ensure your fleet stays compliant year-round.
What Are IFTA Decals?
IFTA decals are official stickers issued under the International Fuel Tax Agreement and must be displayed on both sides of every qualified vehicle. These decals, paired with your IFTA license, authorize you to operate across IFTA jurisdictions while reporting and paying fuel use taxes through one base state.
Decal Renewal: Annual Requirement
IFTA decals expire each year on December 31st and must be renewed annually with your IFTA license. Late renewal can lead to penalties or license suspension, so we recommend starting the process well before the year ends.
Replacement Decals
If your IFTA decals are lost, stolen, or damaged, you can request replacements anytime. These will be valid for the same license year as your original decals.
We also assist with:
- Additional decals for new vehicles added to your IFTA fleet
- Submitting supplemental applications for replacements or extras
| Service | Validity | Estimated Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IFTA Decal Set | Jan 1 – Dec 31 (1 Year) | $3 – $10 per set | |
| Replacement Decals | Matches current license | $3 – $10 per set | |
| Additional Decals | Matches current license | $3 – $10 per set |
