How do I obtain an IFTA account using MyTax Illinois?
MyTax Illinois allows you to register and maintain your IFTA accounts and file and pay your IFTA returns, as well as manage other Illinois tax accounts.
Prior to accessing your accounts in MyTax Illinois, you must have previously submitted Form MFUT-12, Motor Fuel Use Tax IFTA License and Decals Application, or had active IFTA accounts in the past.
You must activate a MyTax Illinois logon to access your accounts. Click "Sign Up" to create your user account and select your username and password. After submitting your activation request, you will receive an email from MyTax Illinois indicating the status of your request.
MyTax Illinois uses two-step verification to confirm that only authorized users are accessing taxpayer accounts. Two-step verification requires a user to enter a security code during the logon process. The security code is a security enhancement to help protect your account. When you first set up two-step verification, you can choose to receive this code by email to an address you provide or by using an authenticator app. A new code will be provided to you by the method you select each time you log in to MyTax Illinois. This two-step verification ensures that only one user will have access to a username and password.
