I'm not so sure about the "IT" fare code from the information above. Though, my ticket has been through hell and back with changes (4 freaking changes to be exact).
I currently have a ticket I booked directly from Delta from a flight departing CTA (Catania Italy) this Saturday heading back to the US - it has an IT fare code on it. Being I'm departing from Italy, I assumed IT was short for "Italian Taxes"! It is in Q class. Maybe someone pulled some strings to keep costs low in Delta as this was originally a T class fare that had to be rebooked due to a trip extension (did I mention 4 times)! I'll be a bit cheezed if I only get a fraction of the 5000+ miles! The outbound legs were in an L class and I got full MQM credit for that portion of the journey.
The only reason I remember this is because there was a massive error in my original IT code - over $1000! I called Delta back when I saw that on the ticket - do the folks in IT a good hour to figure that one out! See my last receipt below:

There is nothing about IT code for the fare in what you posted, only under taxes which is irrelevant. Your fare basis is immediately following the price for the segment/direction and is LKWB17US outbound and QKWB69US return. Also note your fare shows a price, while the other ticket in question had the IT in the price and total section.
The IT you see in the tax list is the Italy embarkation tax.

Ah, quite correct - guess that is what I get for having the IT taxes on the brain! Sorry for the confusion.
