Set up filing for Idaho

Provide your Idaho tax account information to set up automated filing.

Tax registration effective date

  • The date your sales tax registration started with the state.
  • Check the seller's permit mailed to you from the state or contact the Idaho State Tax Commission at 800-972-7660 to request this information.

State Tax ID

  • TaxJar needs third party access to your Idaho Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account to verify that we have all of the information we need to file your Idaho Sales Tax Returns.
  • For security purposes, the code is sent in a postal letter that the state mails to the account owner's address on file. It can take up to 2 weeks to arrive after the state sends it out to you, or you can expedite the process and receive the access code over the phone.  Please call 1-800-972-7660 to request.
    • Your 3rd party access letter will have a unique look, and will list the name TPS Unlimited. This letter will contain a security code specific to this request and will grant File & Pay access. 
    • The included authorization code will be long, case-sensitive, and unique.
  • In order to ensure your returns are filed in time to meet the state's due date, we must have your valid security code to file by 5 pm ET on the last day of the month before your first requested return is due.

Third-party access verification

  • Your 9-digit state certificate or registration ID.
  • Check the registration package mailed to you by the state or log into your Idaho Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account and go to the Account section.

Filing frequency

  • This is your filing frequency as assigned by the state or local tax authority.
  • Refer to your seller's permit or log into your Idaho Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account and go to the File/View Returns section. 

What to expect next

After you give TaxJar third-party access to file for you and enter your access code, here's what will happen:

  • Under review: Within a few days, TaxJar will review your submission for accuracy and process your application.
    • IMPORTANT: Your TaxJar account is created using the email address associated with your Stripe account, so if the TaxJar team needs to contact you, this is the email address we use by default. (Follow these instructions if you want to change this email address within your TaxJar account).
  • Automatic filing enabled: After access is confirmed, TaxJar will process your application. Then you'll be ready to file.
  • File your first tax return: TaxJar will email you at the beginning of each filing period to  review your return before it's submitted.
