Automatic jurisdiction miles — distance by state/province comes from GPS/ELD trip data, not odometer guesswork or manual trip sheets.
IFTA is one of the most tedious and audit-prone filings in trucking: every mile in every jurisdiction and every gallon purchased has to be reconciled, four times a year. Done in spreadsheets it is hours of work and easy to get wrong. TruckerPro assembles the return from the trip and fuel data you already capture, checks it for the gaps auditors look for, and gives you a filing-ready report.
Automatic jurisdiction miles — distance by state/province comes from GPS/ELD trip data, not odometer guesswork or manual trip sheets.
Automatic gallons — fuel-card imports (EFS/WEX/Comdata and Canadian networks) populate purchases by jurisdiction automatically.
Quarterly return, calculated — net tax owed or credited per member jurisdiction, ready to file, with the numbers traceable to the underlying trips and receipts.
Audit-risk flags — miles with no fuel, fuel with no miles, trip-line gaps, and implausible MPG are surfaced before you file, not after an auditor finds them.
Audit-ready records — the trip and fuel detail behind every number is retained, so an IFTA audit is an export, not a reconstruction.
Works with the rest of your operation — the same trips that feed dispatch and settlements feed IFTA, so there is no separate data entry.
IFTA jurisdictions audit aggressively because the filing depends entirely on self-reported miles and fuel, and small errors compound across jurisdictions. The classic audit triggers are data inconsistencies: distance that does not match fuel purchased, gaps in the trip record where a truck clearly moved but no miles were logged, and fleet MPG figures that are implausibly high or low. A spreadsheet process produces exactly these inconsistencies because the miles and the fuel come from different places and rarely reconcile cleanly.
Automating IFTA from the source data closes the gaps. When miles come from GPS/ELD and gallons come from the fuel-card feed, the two are far more consistent, and the software can flag the remaining discrepancies for you to fix before filing — which is precisely what keeps a return out of audit trouble.
The value of automating IFTA is that the quarterly scramble disappears. Instead of collecting trip sheets and fuel receipts and reconciling them by hand, the return is assembled continuously as trips and fuel post throughout the quarter, and at quarter-end it is reviewed rather than rebuilt.
That continuous approach also means the audit trail is complete: every jurisdiction mile ties back to a real trip and every gallon to a real receipt, retained and exportable. If an audit comes, the supporting detail is already organized instead of being reconstructed from a year of paperwork.

Start Free TrialIt is software that automates the IFTA quarterly return by pulling distance-by-jurisdiction from GPS/ELD data and gallons from fuel-card imports, calculating the net fuel tax owed or credited per jurisdiction, and producing a filing-ready, audit-ready report. It also checks the data for the inconsistencies that commonly trigger IFTA audits before you file.
From your trucks' GPS/ELD trip data. The software attributes distance to each state or province a truck traveled through, which is far more accurate and defensible than manual trip sheets or estimating from total odometer readings. Accurate jurisdiction miles are the single biggest factor in a clean IFTA return.
Yes. Fuel-card imports from the major networks populate gallons by purchase location automatically, so the fuel side of the return is built from real transactions rather than re-keyed receipts. This also feeds fuel-fraud auditing and cost-per-mile reporting from the same data.
It flags the specific inconsistencies auditors look for — miles logged with no corresponding fuel, fuel purchased with no miles in that jurisdiction, gaps in the trip line, and implausible fleet MPG — so you can correct them before filing. And because it retains the trip and fuel detail behind every number, if an audit does happen, the supporting records are already organized and exportable.
Yes. A calculator computes tax from numbers you type in; you still have to gather and reconcile the miles and fuel yourself. AI IFTA software produces those numbers automatically from your trip and fuel data, checks them for errors, and keeps the audit trail. TruckerPro also offers a free IFTA calculator for quick estimates, but the software is what removes the quarterly reconciliation work.
Yes. IFTA covers the US states and Canadian provinces that are members of the agreement, and the software handles distance and fuel across both, including the CAD/USD and litre/gallon conversions cross-border carriers deal with. It is built for exactly the Canada-US operations that make IFTA complicated.
