    Hello all,
    We are having an Ifta audit in NY. I have all the fuel receipts, bol, repair invoices, and details on all the loads hauled. Problem is I don't have logbooks, and odometer readings.
    How bad is the situation and what do you advise?
    For those who have had an ifta audit, how long does it take, and how much have you been fined?

    Thanks

    You don't have logs of mileage for each state? How are you filing ifta without that?

    Some quarters I have used the mileage from the gps (which calculates ifta miles for each jurisdiction).
    Some quarters I have used the bol for origin and destinations and fuel receipts, and used the ifta software like trucking office to put these info in.

    If the IRS can lose the E-mails that Congress demanded and not produce them,then we should be able to use the same arguement.
