Need an extension to file your Idaho income tax return?
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) If you can’t file your 2020 Idaho income tax return by the May 17 deadline, you can get an automatic extension if you pay enough of your total tax due by May 17.
To qualify, you need to pay:
80% of the estimated tax you owe for 2020, or
100% of the total tax reported on your 2019 income tax return
An automatic extension means you don’t have to file a written request. But an extension of time
to file your return isn’t an extension of time to pay your tax. With a valid extension, you can avoid a penalty for filing late, but you’ll owe 2% annual interest on the remaining tax until it’s paid.

There’s a discussion of earlier legislative audit findings that savings in expenses haven’t been so great, job eliminations haven’t been significant and real estate shuffles have produced a tiny lease savings (not counting significant moving costs), but emptied some state buildings as the state moved to fill buildings that didn’t need to be bought (and incurred $43 million in debt to buy.)
So there’s that. Now there’s a specific example of an apparent “transformation” effort that will require legislation to fix.

The following is a news release from the Idaho State Tax Commission.
BOISE The Idaho State Tax Commission will start processing 2020 Idaho individual income tax returns on Friday, Feb. 12. The Internal Revenue Service begins processing federal returns the same day.
All Idaho tax returns go through fraud-detection reviews and accuracy checks. Before issuing your refund, the Tax Commission may ask you to verify your identity or that you filed a return. The agency also might ask you to provide more information.
E-filing your return is the safest and easiest way to file. It’s also the quickest way to receive a refund. Using direct deposit for your refund gets the money to you even faster.
