Not all states allow you to paper file. Instead, they require you to file using their file system. For those states, TruckLogics provides an e-file worksheet to make entry into the state’s e-file system easier for the client. This comes at no extra cost to you however, it is your responsibility to know whether your state allows paper filing or only allows e-filing. A worksheet does not constitute a valid refund request. Regardless, TruckLogics has the solution to all of your IFTA needs! What are you waiting for, sign up for TruckLogics IFTA Only and start reporting today!
