How penalties are determined

Paper filings must be postmarked by the due date. The licensee will be subject to the IFTA penalty and interest provisions if the report is not filed in a timely manner.  Operating suspensions will be applied to delinquent accounts.

Amended returns

If you file an amended return after the due date, it is now considered late, and penalty & interest must be included in the payment.

How to file for a refund

An overpayment will be processed as a credit if refund box is not marked.  Anything under $100.00 will be forwarded as a credit.
