My IFTA account is flagged

Good thing "AModelCAT" is not my real name

 

The fuel reported on IFTA affects your tax return. If you cheat on IFTA like many do,
you cheat on your tax return. For example you can claim that you've used 5000
gallons of fuel more than you actually did for a single truck only.

 

About 5 years back inspectors in MN and CO. They both asked to dip my tanks for red fuel.

After they dipped my tanks.
I asked them what would happen if I refused? Both had same reply.

"You can leave here with no issues, but the IRS will come knocking on your door."

I guess if it's a tax program in the US. The IRS is involved!

 

I’d send an email reply asking for the documentation or a copy or a link to the IRS requirements for the TN IFTA program.
And then make a copy of the form you had to sign and just staple it to the next net zero quarterly filing , so they won’t have to ask for it .

 

Yeah, but you’re still a cat. Let the IRS figure that one out.

 

Maybe that ifta employee ur talking with is like most government employees. Clueless about what they are talking about.

 

The "Several States" can't make an agreement with a foreign government, thus the feds are involved. If the Federal Government is involved in taxation, the IRS takes the lead.

Beyond that, it's entirely likely that @D.Tibbitt is correct, that the employee you talked to was conflating the IRS with whatever the TN revenue service is called.

 

Reminds me of IRP. Used to have to guess what States you might need. If you needed to add a State, a whole new plate was required, via fax service. Big hassle. I always carried Wi. Just in case. First year I didn’t go there. When I renewed because I had 0 miles, they averaged my miles and charged me about $70. After that, I always had at least 2 miles in Wi. Every time, the load I went after cancelled. Pure coincidence. That’s my story, I’m sticking to it. Same thing could happen in this case. A load could always cancell in Ms., Ar., Mo., Al., Ga., N.C, Any State you find yourself close to, Ky. if you have to. The KYU, is best avoided if possible. Just another hassle.
