We have recovered millions for our clients.
TaxTraks finds the excise tax, sales tax, penalties, fines and interest your business paid but never owed — and gets it back. We read the filings, build the claim, and carry it through to the refund.
- Excise tax
- Sales & use tax
- Penalties
- Fines

No software to install and nothing to change in your back office — send us your filings and we take it from there.
Of the fuel jobbers we reviewed over the past five years, eight in ten were overpaying sales tax.
Based on TaxTraks reviews of fuel jobbers completed between 2021 and 2025. Every one of those overpayments was a filing that had already been signed, checked and accepted — which is the point. It is not a sign of a sloppy back office; it is what the system produces.
Five places jobbers routinely leave money behind
Fuel tax is filed monthly, across agencies, under rules that change without much notice. Overpayment is not a sign of a sloppy back office — it is what the system produces. We find it and reverse it.
Excise Tax
Federal and state excise paid on gallons that were exempt, resold, exported, dyed, or already taxed upstream. The most common overpayment we see.
Sales & Use Tax
Tax charged on exempt sales, on tax-on-tax, on equipment and inputs that qualified for relief, or in jurisdictions that never applied.
Penalties
Late-file and late-pay penalties assessed on returns that were timely, duplicated, or misapplied by the agency. Abatement is often available.
Fines
Assessments from license, bonding, reporting and audit findings that were issued in error or resolved without the file ever being corrected.
Interest
Interest that accrued on top of amounts you never owed — and, where the statute allows, interest owed to you on the refund itself.
Amendments Going Forward
Once the old returns are corrected, we fix what caused the overpayment so the same dollars stop walking out the door next month.
Four steps, and almost none of them are yours
The whole point is that recovery should not cost you a week of staff time. You send the filings once; we do the rest.
Free assessment
Tell us where you operate and what you file. We tell you, at no cost, whether there is money to go after.
We review the filings
Returns, schedules, invoices and agency notices go through a line-by-line review against the exemptions that applied at the time.
We build and file the claim
Amended returns and refund claims, fully documented, filed with each agency — and defended if anyone asks questions.
You get the refund
Money comes back to you. Then we correct the process so the overpayment does not start over again.
A jobber company, not a general tax shop
TaxTraks was started by people who work in this industry, for people who work in this industry. Fuel tax is its own discipline, and it does not reward generalists.
- We speak jobber. Racks, exchanges, dyed product, exempt customers, bulk plants — no translation required.
- Multi-state by default. Every state writes its own rules, and we work them separately rather than assuming.
- Documented, not optimistic. Every claim is built to survive a review, because the ones that are not get clawed back.
- Nothing to rip out. Keep your systems, your staff and your process. We work from what you already file.
- It does not stop at the refund. We fix the cause so the next twelve months are clean.
Ryan Rogers & James Sharpe
Built TaxTraks around what fuel jobbers actually need: fewer hours spent on filings, and every dollar of overpaid tax back where it belongs.
Brings the accounting discipline behind every recovery claim - documented, defensible, and filed to hold up under review.

If you file fuel tax, there is probably money sitting there.
The assessment costs nothing and takes one conversation. The worst outcome is you find out your filings are clean.
