This is the whole app.
No demo video, no mockups. These are screens off a real phone.
For 1099 owner-operators
You already did the hard part. You drove. IFTA Tracker notices the nights you were away from your tax home, writes the day down for you, and has your quarter ready before the deadline. One tap in the morning. Nothing to type at 70 mph.
No demo video, no mockups. These are screens off a real phone.
You've been out eleven days. Truck's idling. You're eating something off a shelf and you'll be rolling again in six hours.
Nobody handed you a form tonight that said this one counts. But it does. If you're 1099 and away from your tax home overnight, the IRS lets transportation workers take a per-diem deduction. Right now that's $80 a day, 80% deductible. Call it $64 a night.
Do 15 nights a month and that's $11,520 a year in potential deductions sitting in your sleeper.
Now here's the part nobody says out loud.
That money doesn't disappear because the deduction isn't real. It disappears because the record isn't.
Your tax guy can't claim what you can't show him. And in March, with a bag of faded thermal paper on his desk, he's going to be conservative. He has to be. Conservative is his job. It's your money.
Real posts from real drivers. Not one of them had a ledger writing itself in the background. That is the entire difference between their quarter and yours.
“Is your shoebox full of receipts?”
“taking a trash bag full of paper to the accountant in February”
“without the fuel receipt i can't claim it so i have to pay it”
“Driver records were a mess, not many odometer readings which led to missed miles.”
“I don't have time to sit down and sort receipts after long day.”
“I REALLY WANT TO GO DIGITAL.I NEED SOMETHING SIMPLE.”
Not one of these guys is lazy. They're driving. The paperwork loses because it's competing with 11 hours behind the wheel, and it always will. The only thing that beats that is a record that writes itself while you sleep.

Drag it to your number. Not an average, not a case study. Yours.
Potential deductions at the current transportation-worker rate. What it saves you depends on your bracket, and that's between you and your tax guy. Our job is making sure the record exists.
Forget one week and you just threw away $320. A whole year of IFTA Tracker costs less than two forgotten nights.
You know the drill. Sunday of the last weekend, kitchen table, a stack of fuel receipts and a trip sheet with three days missing. Miles by state. Gallons by state. Guess at the rest.
File it a day late and the penalty starts at $50 minimum. That's the cheap part.
Here's the expensive part, straight out of the IFTA audit manual. If your records aren't good enough, the auditor doesn't argue with you about your MPG. He assigns you one:
“in the absence of adequate records, a standard of 4 MPG/1.7KPL will be used.”
And on fuel: “When tax paid fuel documentation is unavailable, all claims for tax paid fuel will be disallowed.”
Read that again. If you actually run 6.5 and they assess you at 4, you get billed on roughly 60% more gallons than you burned. Every receipt you lost is a credit you don't get. They keep records four years back.
And the thing that gets you flagged? Your own numbers looking too clean. A big drop in reported miles, or your MPG suddenly improving, is exactly what auditors go looking for.
No trip sheet, no proof. No proof, you pay.
No start button. No trip logging. No typing while you drive. It's passive on purpose, because anything that needs your hands at 70 mph is a thing you won't do.
The app checks where your phone sits overnight against your tax home. No GPS trail, just the low-power location events your phone already makes. Away overnight? Tomorrow's card is written before you wake up: date, place, business purpose, rate.
Coffee, one tap, done. The app never marks a day confirmed for you. A machine guessing on your tax record is how you end up defending a number you never saw. You're the one who signs off.
Miles by state, gallons off your receipts, fleet MPG, and the tax by jurisdiction including the Kentucky and Virginia surcharges. It checks your work before you file: MPG out of range, fuel bought in a state with no miles, gaps. Then it exports.
Every night away, on the ledger, with the time, place, and business purpose the IRS asks for. Partial days on the departure and return rate, handled.
Snap it at the pump. Total, gallons, and state read off the paper on the phone itself. No signal needed. Lost the receipt? Type it in 15 seconds instead.
48 states plus 10 Canadian provinces, real published rates, KY and VA surcharges on consumed gallons where the credit doesn't apply. PDF and CSV out.
Fleet MPG outside 4 to 9. Fuel bought where you logged no miles. A jurisdiction with no rate. The same things an auditor looks for, before you hit send.
The pump sign lies. Fuel tax comes back to you on the return, so the number that matters is the price minus the tax. Two stops, two numbers, straight answer.
Day-log PDF with selectable text, expense CSVs, every receipt image, one zip. One share and tax season is over.
No account. No login. No server holding your ledger. If we vanished tomorrow your records would still be on your phone and still export.
Seven days free, full app, cancel in ten seconds from your phone's settings. Record a real week of road days and receipts, and decide with your own numbers in front of you.
$99.99/year
Against $11,520 a year you're trying not to lose. That's 115× the price.
$8.33 a month. Or $14.99 month to month. Or $399.99 once and never again.
If you go annual you get 7 days free on top, and we remind you on day 5 before anything is charged. Cancel takes 10 seconds inside the app. And if you ever leave, your records export anyway. We don't hold ledgers hostage.
Honestly? Probably not. The employee per-diem deduction ended in 2018. IFTA Tracker is built for 1099 owner-operators, own authority, leased, or lease-purchase. If you're W-2, save your money. We'd rather tell you now than in a review.
Local guys usually have no overnight per diem. Receipts and IFTA still count, so it can still earn its keep, but the overnight ledger is the star of the show and we won't pretend otherwise.
No. It never runs continuous GPS. It uses the same low-power location events your phone already produces: significant location changes, visits, one geofence around your tax home. Difference between a dashcam and a doorbell camera.
Nowhere. There's no server and no account. Records stay on your iPhone. Read the privacy policy. It's short, because there's almost nothing to disclose.
No and no. It records potential deductions and produces the time, place, and purpose documentation the IRS expects. What you claim is between you and your tax professional. We build the record. Your tax guy makes the call.
Phone died? Airplane mode? It never invents a day. You get a "were you away Thursday night?" card and a one-tap answer. Gaps turn into questions, never fiction.
