INSTRUCTIONS INTERSTATE USER DIESEL FUEL TAX RETURN
This return is for reporting diesel fuel use only. (Persons who operate LPG or alcohol-fuel powered vehicles in California must contact the California State Board of Equalization, Fuel Taxes Division, at (916) 322-9669 for the proper reporting form.)

Line 1.

For the purpose of calculating average miles per gallon, enter all miles operated in all states and Mexico by all qualified motor vehicles that are operated within and without this state. This includes qualified motor vehicles operated in California and Mexico. Do not include qualified motor vehicles included in your IFTA fleet. Include all trip miles operated, loaded and deadhead. Qualified motor vehicle means a motor vehicle used, designed or maintained for transportation of persons or property that (a) has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms, (b) has three or more axles regardless of weight, or (c) is used in combination, when the weight of that combination exceeds 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms gross vehicle weight. A qualified motor vehicle does not include recreational vehicles when used exclusively for personal pleasure by an individual. Enter the total gallons of diesel fuel used to operate all the qualified motor vehicles included in the mileage computation on line 1. Divide line 1 by line 2 to obtain the average fleet miles per gallon. This calculation should be extended to the nearest hundredth (for example, 4.21 miles per gallon). Enter the average miles per gallon on line 3. Enter all miles operated in California by all qualified motor vehicles included in line 1 for which this return is filed, including any off-highway miles. Divide the number on line 4 by the average miles per gallon on line 3 to obtain taxable gallons of fuel used in California. Enter the taxable gallons of fuel used in California on line 5. Enter the total number of tax-paid gallons of diesel fuel purchased in California and included in line 2. Subtract line 6 from line 5 and enter the difference on line 7. If the number of gallons entered is positive, you will have a tax liability on the remaining fuel that was purchased outside of California. If the number of gallons entered is negative, then you have purchased more fuel in California than you consumed in your operations. A refund will be processed based upon the excess number of gallons reported (see line 9). Current interstate user tax rate per gallon on diesel fuel. Multiply the number of gallons of diesel fuel reported on line 7 by the tax rate on line 8. Enter this number on line 9. If the number on line 9 is less than zero, a refund will be processed. (Note: You cannot carry a tax credit forward to another return.) If the number on line 9 is greater than zero, then you owe tax.
