How to file IFTA from Alabama

  1. Pull total miles driven by jurisdiction for the quarter (from your ELD or trip sheets).
  2. Pull total gallons purchased by jurisdiction (from your fuel receipts).
  3. Calculate fleet MPG: total miles ÷ total gallons (across all jurisdictions).
  4. For each jurisdiction: taxable gallons = miles driven there ÷ fleet MPG. Multiply by that jurisdiction's tax rate, subtract gallons already purchased there.
  5. Sum the result. Owe net tax to your base jurisdiction (Alabama), receive refund if it's negative.
  6. File at https://myalabamataxes.alabama.gov.
  7. Keep mileage logs, fuel receipts, and the filed return for 4 years.
