The 55A Form is Tennessee's official IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) Return Form for commercial vehicle operators. If your fleet crosses state lines, you must file this form quarterly with the Tennessee Department of Revenue to report fuel purchases and miles driven in each IFTA member state.
To complete the form, you need your Tennessee account number, the tax period dates, total miles driven by jurisdiction, and total gallons of fuel purchased by state. The form calculates the net tax owed or any refund credit due. Entities with no tax liability must still file a zero return for the quarter.
Tennessee accepts both paper and electronic filings. Paper filers use two separate mailing addresses: one for returns with payment due and one for zero-balance returns. Make all checks payable to the Tennessee Department of Revenue. Electronic filers submit through the Tennessee Taxpayer Access Point for faster processing.
Fleet operators who file in other states may also need the IFTA CRF Form or the IFTA 105 Form. For tracking fuel mileage between filings, our mileage reimbursement form is a useful companion tool.
