IFTA software that fills out your quarterly fuel tax return for you
Strivie builds your IFTA return from the GPS miles and fuel-card gallons you already track. Pick the quarter, and the return comes back built and ready to file — no spreadsheet, no shoebox of receipts.
Pick the quarter. The IFTA return builds itself.
No typing in miles, no matching receipts. Strivie already has your miles per jurisdiction and your fuel gallons, so the quarterly fuel tax return assembles itself from data that is already sitting in the system. One click to pick the quarter, one click to build it — then it is ready to file.
- One click: pick the quarter. Two clicks: the return is built and ready to file
- Per-jurisdiction miles and taxable gallons come straight from your own tracking data
- No spreadsheet, no receipt entry, no re-keying trip sheets
- Behind on prior quarters? It catches those up too
- Strivie builds the return ready to file — you submit it to your base jurisdiction
Miles per jurisdiction, straight from GPS
Your trucks already leave a GPS breadcrumb trail on the live map. Strivie reads that trail and splits your miles state by state, so the mileage side of the International Fuel Tax Agreement is counted for you instead of reconstructed from odometer guesses. It works with the ELD and GPS you already run — all major providers, keyed by VIN.
- State-by-state mileage built from GPS breadcrumbs, not hand-tallied logs
- Works with all major ELD and GPS providers — no new hardware to buy
- One live map keyed by VIN feeds the same miles into your IFTA return
- Every mile is tied to a real trip, so the numbers hold up on review
Fuel-card gallons matched to the truck
The gallons side of IFTA comes from your fuel card. Strivie captures fuel-card transactions and matches the fuel to the right truck, so taxable gallons feed the return without a stack of receipts. The same fuel data drives your driver settlements, so you enter it once and use it twice.
- Fuel-card gallons captured automatically, no receipt scanning
- Fuel matched to the truck, verified by GPS location
- Taxable gallons flow straight into the quarterly return
- Bring your own fuel-card account — Strivie reads it, you keep it
IFTA that lives inside the whole operation
Strivie is a full TMS — dispatch, settlements, safety, maintenance, billing — so IFTA is not a bolt-on tool you feed by hand. The miles and fuel are already here because you run loads and pay drivers here. That means zero separate data entry for your quarterly fuel tax return.
- Miles and fuel are already in the system from dispatch and payroll
- Nothing to export, import, or reconcile between two tools
- Single-tenant deployment per carrier — your data stays yours
- Built for owner-operators and small-to-midsize fleets; scales up with enterprise mode
- Bring your own ELD, fuel card, factoring, and QuickBooks accounts
Questions carriers ask
What is IFTA software and how does it work?
IFTA software prepares your quarterly fuel tax return under the International Fuel Tax Agreement, which lets interstate carriers file one return with their base jurisdiction instead of each state separately. Strivie works by reading data it already holds — miles per jurisdiction from GPS breadcrumbs and gallons from fuel-card transactions — and building the return from it. You pick the quarter, Strivie builds it, and it comes back ready to file.
Do owner-operators and small fleets have to file IFTA?
If you run a qualified motor vehicle across state lines — generally 26,000 lb GVWR or more, or three or more axles — you need an IFTA license and you file a quarterly fuel tax return, even as a one-truck owner-operator. IFTA is separate from IRP apportioned registration, though both track interstate miles. Strivie's IFTA software for owner operators and small fleets is built for exactly this case: the return assembles itself from the miles and fuel you already track instead of being rebuilt by hand every quarter.
Can IFTA software pull miles and fuel automatically from my ELD and fuel card?
Yes — that is the whole point. Strivie reads state-by-state mileage from GPS tracking across all major ELD and GPS providers, and captures taxable gallons from your fuel-card transactions. You bring your own ELD and fuel-card accounts, so there is no new hardware and no manual import. This is automatic IFTA reporting: the miles and gallons are counted for you.
How does IFTA filing compare with doing it by hand?
By hand, IFTA means tallying trip sheets, splitting miles per jurisdiction, and matching fuel receipts. With Strivie it is two clicks: pick the quarter, and the quarterly fuel tax return is built and ready to file. There is no spreadsheet to maintain and nothing to re-key.
Are the reports audit-ready, and how is the mileage backed up?
Every mile in your return traces to a GPS breadcrumb from a real trip, and every gallon traces to a fuel-card transaction matched to the truck — so the state-by-state mileage and taxable gallons are backed by source data, not estimates. That trail is what makes a quarterly fuel tax return defensible on review. Strivie keeps the underlying trip and fuel data behind the numbers it builds.
When are IFTA returns due and what happens if I file late?
IFTA returns are due quarterly — April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31 — to your base jurisdiction. File late or short and you face penalties and interest, and repeated misses can put your IFTA license at risk, so staying current matters. Strivie also catches up prior quarters, so if you have fallen behind, you can build those returns too and get back on schedule.
Does Strivie file and pay my IFTA taxes for me?
No. Strivie builds the quarterly fuel tax return and hands it back ready to file — it does not submit the return to the jurisdictions or pay the tax on your behalf. You take the finished return to your base jurisdiction's filing system. What Strivie removes is the hours of counting miles and matching fuel that come before that step.
Stop rebuilding IFTA from scratch every quarter
The miles are already on your map. The gallons are already on your fuel card. Strivie turns them into a quarterly fuel tax return that is built and ready to file — including the quarters you are behind on. Pick the quarter and let the system do the counting.
