IFTA for the whole year, filed from real mileage, not estimates
One licence, two decals per truck, four returns a year across 48 states and 10 provinces. We handle all of it. Canadian fuel in litres and dollars converted for you.
Who needs it
Any qualified motor vehicle that runs in two or more member jurisdictions: two axles and over 26,000 lb, or three or more axles at any weight, or a combination over 26,000 lb.
One base jurisdiction
You licence where the trucks are registered and the records are kept. That jurisdiction issues the licence and decals, collects one payment and splits it with everyone else.
Four dates a year
April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Late is 50 USD or 10 percent of the tax, whichever is greater, plus interest.

| Service | Our fee | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| IFTA yearly service All four quarterly fuel tax returns. | On request | per year |
| IFTA licence and decals Plus the base jurisdiction decal fee. | On request | one-time |
The base jurisdiction charges its own decal fee, and you pay the net fuel tax directly to the jurisdiction. Neither is included in our fee.
How it works
- Licence and decals
We confirm your base jurisdiction and file the application. You receive one licence for the cab and two decals per truck.
- Send miles and fuel
Each quarter you send an ELD export or trip sheets plus fuel receipts. We check odometer gaps and missing jurisdictions first.
- We file, you pay the net
You get the return and the net figure to approve. We file with your base jurisdiction and keep the file for the four-year audit window.
What a quarter actually involves
| Task | Yourself | Profirm |
|---|---|---|
| Pull miles by jurisdiction from the ELD | You, each quarter | Us, from your export |
| Sort fuel receipts by state or province | You | Us |
| Convert litres, kilometres and Canadian dollars | You | Us |
| Apply the quarter's rate matrix, including surcharge states | You | Us |
| Catch odometer gaps before the auditor does | Rarely | Every return |
| File and keep the record four years | You | Us |
The surcharge jurisdictions (Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia) charge a second line that fuel credits do not offset, the most common mistake on self-prepared returns.

Quebec, Ontario and the rest of Canada are inside IFTA
A licence from Vermont or Texas covers the provinces, and a licence from Revenu Québec or the Ontario Ministry of Finance covers the states. What changes is the paperwork: litres, kilometres and Canadian dollars. The quarterly rate matrix already publishes each province's rate converted to US dollars per gallon.
We have prepared returns on both sides of the line since 1988, for Quebec carriers running the I-87 and I-91 corridors and for US carriers loading in Montreal and Toronto.
What we check on every Canadian-side return
- Litres converted at 3.785 per US gallon, kilometres at 1.609 per mile
- Provincial miles matched to a provincial fuel purchase or explained
- Ontario and Quebec rates from the current quarter's matrix
- Border crossing miles allocated to the correct side
- IRP cab card and IFTA decals on the same trucks
Frequently asked questions
Do I need IFTA for one truck?
Yes, if the truck is a qualified motor vehicle and it crosses a state or provincial line. The rule is about the vehicle and the route, not the size of the company. A truck that never leaves its home state does not need IFTA.
When are IFTA returns due?
April 30 for January to March, July 31 for April to June, October 31 for July to September, and January 31 for October to December. A return is due every quarter even if you did not move, in which case you file a zero return.
What is the penalty for a late IFTA return?
50 USD or 10 percent of the net tax due, whichever is greater, plus interest. Two delinquent quarters can lead to revocation of the licence, and a revoked licence means trip permits at every border until it is reinstated.
What records do I have to keep?
For every trip: dates, origin and destination, route, odometer readings, miles by jurisdiction and unit number. For every fuel purchase: date, seller, location, gallons or litres, fuel type, price and unit number. Keep everything four years.
How much does the IFTA service cost?
We quote in writing within one business day, based on the number of trucks and the jurisdictions you run. The base jurisdiction's decal fee and the fuel tax itself are paid to the government, not to us.
Does IFTA cover Canada?
Yes. The ten provinces are IFTA members, so a licence from any base jurisdiction covers Quebec and Ontario the same way it covers Vermont and Michigan. We do the unit and currency conversion.
Stop doing fuel tax the night before it is due
Send us your ELD export and receipts once a quarter. We do the rest, tell you the net, and file with your base jurisdiction, all year.
