Five common IFTA mistakes owner-operators make
2026-11-08 · Mile-Tax team
- Guessing miles per state. Estimates differ from what a GPS track shows, and auditors prefer records.
- Losing fuel receipts. No receipt, no credit for the tax already paid at the pump.
- Mixing vehicles. Miles and fuel must be reported per vehicle.
- Filing late. Late returns can bring penalties and interest; file even with zero activity if required.
- Using old tax rates. Rates change each quarter; use the current table for your return.
A tracking app does not remove the need to check your numbers, but it removes the guesswork about where you drove. Mile-Tax flags segments with weak GPS as unconfirmed so you can review them. Learn more about the app.
