Idaho Extension for Individual Income Tax Returns
Individual taxpayers in Idaho may request an extension to file their state income tax return if they are unable to meet the original deadline. The extension allows additional time to file, but not to pay any tax owed. The original filing deadline for Idaho individual income tax returns is typically April 15, and taxpayers may request an extension to file by October 15.
How to Request an Extension
Taxpayers can request an extension by filing Form 43, which is Idaho’s extension form. This form is used to request additional time to file the state return. It is important to note that the extension only applies to filing the return, not to paying any tax due. Any tax owed must still be paid by the original deadline to avoid penalties and interest.
What to Include in the Extension Request
- Complete Form 43 with your personal information, including name, address, and Social Security number.
- Indicate the reason for requesting the extension (if required).
- Sign and date the form.
- Submit the form to the Idaho State Tax Commission before the original deadline.
Important Notes
- The extension does not extend the time to pay any tax owed. Taxpayers should estimate their tax liability and pay any amount due by April 15 to avoid interest and penalties.
- Form 43 is available on the Idaho State Tax Commission website and can be filed electronically or by mail.
- Taxpayers should keep a copy of the filed extension for their records.
