You enter the miles, the fuel, and each state’s rate. The sheet calculates from those inputs. It is not a filed return.
The guide covers who needs IFTA, how fleet MPG works, how to get the license, what to track, how to file, and what to do in an audit.
Two tabs hold quarterly miles and fuel for the 48 contiguous states. Alaska, Hawaii, and the Canadian provinces are not on the sheet.
If you want expense categories for income tax, that is the Tax Defense Playbook. This file is the IFTA quarter.
No charts. You type the blue inputs. The formulas run from those numbers.
