IFTA E-file/E-pay Limitations

  • Filers must have a password to E-file an IFTA return.
     
  • Payment may be made either by ACH debit or credit at the time of filing or remitted through the mail, if an E-filed quarterly IFTA return results in a balance due. To pay by ACH debit or credit you must have completed an application that has been approved by the Department. Applications can be found at www.michigan.gov/ifta .  If payment is remitted through the mail, a payment voucher must be printed and submitted with the payment.
     
  • An IFTA return for prior reporting periods cannot be E-filed. (Future program enhancements will allow you to E-file an IFTA return for prior reporting periods.)
     
  • An amended IFTA return cannot be E-filed. Amended returns must be filed on paper.
     
  • An IFTA return may only be E-filed for the following fuel types: diesel, gasoline, ethanol and propane. IFTA returns containing other fuel types, including biodiesel must be filed on paper.
     
  • IFTA E-pay allows only ACH payments. Credit Cards cannot be used.
