IFTA quarter

Collect. Reconcile. Line up. Review. Then file.

A quarter is collect, reconcile, line up, review, hand off. CarrierAgent does the first four from records you confirmed. The fifth stays honest: preparation is not filing, and the portal computes the tax.

Check quarter readiness How records get captured

V1 is IFTA only. The iPhone app has no public App Store listing. This page explains the planned preparation path.

Built from: Records you captured and confirmed
Produces: Miles, gallons, and the paper behind them
Does not produce: A tax-due number or agency acceptance

The four beats

Each stop produces something you can look at.

If a stop cannot produce its output, the gap is named instead of estimated away.

Collect

Every trip and every fuel purchase in the period.

Captured close to when it happened and confirmed by you. A quarter rebuilt from memory in the last week of the month is where trouble starts.

The calendar

Four deadlines. They do not move for you.

IFTA returns are due the last day of the month after the quarter ends. Quarter 4 is due January 31. Confirm the exact date and any weekend or holiday adjustment with your base state.

See the guided filing handoff

Quarter 1: January to March. Return due April 30.
Quarter 2: April to June. Return due July 31.
Quarter 3: July to September. Return due October 31.
Quarter 4: October to December. Return due January 31.

Preparation is not acceptance. CarrierAgent organizes miles, tax-paid gallons, and the documents behind them. A status inside CarrierAgent is CarrierAgent’s own work. Never official receipt, portal acceptance, payment posting, or a determination by a government agency.

Quarter questions.

When is an IFTA return due?

Quarterly returns are due the last day of the month following the end of the quarter: April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31. When a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, jurisdictions generally move it to the next business day. Confirm the exact date with your base state.

Is preparation the same as filing?

No. Preparation organizes miles and gallons from your records. Filing is submitting the return in your base state's portal, paying what that portal computes, and receiving that state's response. Indiana done-for-you is planned and not live for paying filings.

Does CarrierAgent compute the tax?

No. The official portal computes the tax. CarrierAgent organizes miles and gallons. It does not invent a tax-due figure.

Does CarrierAgent guarantee an audit result?

No. Nobody honestly can. CarrierAgent keeps the paper behind the totals so your position is documented. Outcomes belong to the auditing jurisdiction.
