Back

An automatic extension of 6 month is granted to both Personal and business income tax extension of time if you have paid at least 80% of the current year's income tax liability or 100% of preceding year tax return. However, if you owe $50.00 or less, a payment is not required in order to have a valid extension of time to file your return. For more details like payment forms/vouchers & links please visit the respective section.

How do I get my extension for time to file the tax?

If you can't file your Idaho return by the due date, you will be allowed an automatic six-month extension of time to file without sending a written request. To qualify, you must pay at least 80% of the current year income tax liability or 100% of the total income tax reported on your income tax return for the preceding year, if one was filed.

If you will owe $50 or less, a payment isn't required; however, interest will accrue. Paying less than the required amount will result in a penalty. A penalty will also result if you pay the required amount but fail to pay the remainder of the tax due by the extended due date. Interest accrues on any balance of tax due on the return when it is filed.

Corporations

Multiply 7.6% by the estimated taxable income. If this results in less than $20, use $20 as the estimated tax. Add the $10 permanent building fund tax to the estimated income tax and subtract the amount estimated for income tax credits.

S Corporations

S corporations are subject to tax on excess net passive income and net recognized built-in gains. Use 7.6% to compute the estimated tax on this income. If the estimated tax on these items is less than $20 or the S corporation doesn't report income from these items, use $20 as the estimated tax.

S Corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates with individual Shareholders, Partners, and Beneficiaries

If the income is reported and the tax paid for the individual shareholders, partners, or beneficiaries, use 7.6% to compute the estimated tax. This is in addition to the tax computed for the S corporation, trust, or estate. Add the $10 permanent building fund tax for each individual not filing an Idaho individual income tax return.

Trusts and Estates

Add the permanent building fund tax to the computed tax unless all income is distributed to beneficiaries, or if the trust is a qualified funeral trust.
