Simple New Mexico weight distance and ifta question....

In CA, they are on the form as is OR. The IFTA applies towards fuel taxes whereas the Highway Use Tax or Weight Distance Tax is another thing. If the state does not participate in IFTA, they they do not get an allocation, e.g. OR.

 

Yes, you still have to pay. IFTA does not cover the NM, KY, or NY tax filings that are still required. Think of IFTA as the fuel permit, and MN, KY, and NY as additional "trip" permit above that is covered on your IRP Cab Card...or just another stupid tax and agency to have to file with.

 

Did KY just add themselves to IFTA for paying WD? I did my 4Q couple weeks ago and they had a separate line like IN.

 

I think the OP is confused about the W&D vs surcharge on some IFTA states.

Some states have two lines on IFTA, one for the fuel tax and another for a surcharge. On the surcharge line, that value is mileage based and doesn't care about gallons used. On the Georgia form, the gallons are blank on those surcharge lines.

Weight and distance fees/taxes are altogether another amount paid separate from IFTA. In KY, the only W&D state I run in, they have a form to complete based on your mileage. Easy to find that value since you already have it in your IFTA return, assuming you did that first. I'd expect the other ones to work similar.

 

The IN surcharge is mileage based? I thought you were supposed to figure how many gallons you burned in the state as usual, enter zero purchased, and then pay the surcharge on that amount?

Is this the same for VA and KY surcharges?

 

You're right. Poor wording on my part in the earlier post. The GA web form takes the taxable gallons calculated in the first (regular) line and auto-populates the surcharge line. Had to look at the pdf of a return to check.
