Up to your neck in tax forms and stacks of paper? New York-based IFTA carriers can switch from paper IFTA tax returns to the ease of electronic filing and payment.

Create an Online Services account, log in, and select IFTA E-file.

You may only use IFTA E-file to report diesel, gasoline, ethanol, and propane fuel types on an original return for the current reporting period. Use your IFTA identification number without the NY prefix.

IFTA e-file benefits are many, including:

• Automatic calculation, reducing math errors
• Saving paper helps the environment
• Instant confirmation that your return was received and accepted
• Direct payment from your bank account prevents loss or theft of checks (or you may mail a payment voucher, Form IFTA-100-V)

Make the switch. It makes sense.
