Who needs an Iowa IFTA license?

  • Three or more axles (any weight)
  • Over 26,000 lbs. gross or registered weight
  • Combined weight over 26,000 lbs.

Who needs to file Iowa IFTA taxes?

All license holders must file quarterly IFTA tax returns, even if no miles were traveled.

Note: Licenses remain active until officially closed.

What are you risking by submitting an inaccurate IFTA filing?

Even small discrepancies in reported miles or fuel can lead to:

  • Costly fines and back taxes
  • Delays with renewals or suspended accounts
  • Failed audits and penalties

Why do errors happen?

  1. Mileage and fuel data accumulate quickly — it’s tough to catch every issue. Records often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
  2. Carriers often depend entirely on ELD IFTA reports, thinking they’re complete — but there’s no way to verify them.
  3. Fuel card reports may exclude cash purchases or missing transactions.

* When these gaps exist, your IFTA filing will be wrong — and you’ll be held accountable with your base jurisdiction.
