Column 12: Tax due/refund

The IFTA interest rates are:
- 01/01/2024 – 12/31/2024 — 0.008333 per month
- 01/01/2023 – 12/31/2023 — 0.006667 per month
- 01/01/2021 – 12/31/2022 — 0.004167 per month
- 01/01/2019 – 12/31/2020 — 0.005833 per month
Interest applies when you owe tax for a jurisdiction and pay late. Calculate interest only for the jurisdictions where you owe tax. For purposes of calculating interest, a report is one month late, even if you submitted it only a day late. You can’t apply a credit from another jurisdiction to a jurisdiction where you owe tax if you’re reporting or paying late.
Note: You have 30 days from the end of the reporting period to file your report and pay any tax due. File as soon as you can! When you use your TAP account, you can file your report early in the month and schedule a payment on the due date from your checking or savings account.Column 14: Total due/refund
Add columns 12 and 13. Enter the total in column 14.
