Additional Tips

The sequence of reports and when they have to be filed varies per state.

Kentucky: Filed quarterly, with the same deadline as IFTA reports.

New Mexico: Filed quarterly, with the same deadlines as IFTA reports – motor carriers must submit the report on or before the last day of the month, following the close of the reporting period. Even if you have not travelled through New Mexico, you must file a return. This requirement keeps carriers in compliance and helps you avoid non-filer penalties.

New York: Filed quarterly for the first year. Filed monthly if the first year’s HUT paid was over $4000.00.

Oregon: Filed monthly, but carriers can apply to file quarterly

• To be eligible for quarterly filing in Oregon, the account must have a 12 month filing history, and during those 12 months not had:
  • A suspension related to reporting or payment of taxes or fees,
  • A revocation of IFTA tax license,
  • More than 25% of tax reports filed late,
  • A repayment plan,
  • A delinquency in payment of over-dimensional permit fees or road-use assessment fees.
• Also, within the the last 36 months, the account must not have had an audit that resulted in assessments exceeding reported fees by 15%
