If you can't file your Idaho tax return by April 15, you will be allowed an automatic 6-month extension without filing a written request. To qualify for an automatic extension, you must file your tax return by October 15. If you need to make a tax payment, you'll need to file Idaho Form 51 (PDF).

An Idaho tax extension will not grant you extra time to pay any tax balance due. Your balance must be paid by April 15 to avoid possible penalties.

If you already received an approval notification from ExpressExtension, and you don't need to make a tax payment, then you're all done.

If you were approved for a federal tax extension, then the State of Idaho will automatically grant your business a six month business income tax extension. You must pat at least 80 percent of the total tax due for the current year, or 100 percent of the tax due for the previous year in order to avoid a 2 percent per month penalty. If you owe more tax but can't file by the due date, use Form 41ES
