If you don't think you have enough time to get your taxes done by the deadline, you can get an extension. For federal tax returns, just e-file an extension form on the IRS website. For Idaho returns, you can get an automatic six-month extension by paying enough of your total tax due by the deadline.
To qualify, you need to pay either 80% of the estimated tax owed for 2022 or 100% of the total tax owed on your 2021 income tax return. Of note, you'll have more time to file your taxes and avoid a penalty, but you'll owe 5% annual interest on any tax owed after the deadline.
Tax Day today (APR 18)! If you're in Idaho, you might qualify to get an automatic extension for filing your income taxes (no extensions to pay). See more: https://t.co/nLSKHdCLTx https://t.co/wMElfI8C2Y

Lastly, you can get an extension on Idaho returns if you've been impacted by severe weather in California, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi or New York this year. Affected taxpayers should write "WEATHER-RELATED DISASTER" at the top of their tax return to qualify for the extension.
