Before creating the first Distributor’s Fuel Tax Report (Form 1450), Your Company and Your Business Partner information must be entered in a series of Setup screens or imported from IdaFuel 3.2 from Your Tools. The information entered is saved and used for all subsequent Form 1450’s until the Setup information is changed.

The Setup information is entered from the Main Screen. You can either import the information for each of the following categories from the previous version of IdaFuel or enter the setup information.

Your Tools provides a maintenance function for the software. Return data can be imported, exported, or deleted. State Tax Commission contact information is also available through Your Tools.

Export All Data from this Database
Creates a backup of your entire database in 13 Excel files. These files are
created in the “IE\Backup” subdirectory of your installation folder
(“C:\Program Files\FTR2002”, by default). It’s recommended that you backup your
data at least once a month. Should you ever need to recover the data in your
database, this would be the most comprehensive source of recovery. Exporting
your data to other applications is also available after completing this step.
Import All Data Previously Exported from
IdaFuel will import the files created in the previous Export
process.
Contact
the IDSTC (Idaho State Tax Commission) provides contact information (see
Figure 12 - Contact options). Contact
can be made by e-mail for both technical and tax related questions and by
telephone. (With an analog phone,
IdaFuel can dial the Tax Commission.)

Delete
report provides a mechanism to delete past returns no longer needed for
historical purposes. Returns will be
deleted based on the selected Beginning and Ending Report Month (see Figure
13). Once a return is deleted, it is no longer accessible through the software.
