The new electronic filing option is designed to make withholding reporting easier and more convenient for all employers, who can even view their online withholding filings for 18 months. For returns with taxes due, employers can make payments electronically at no extra charge using Discover, MasterCard, Visa, or ACH debit through the state's secure payment system. Companies that prefer paying with a paper check can still do so by printing a voucher to send with payment.
To use the online service, employers need their Employer Identification Number (EIN), Idaho employer account number, and an Access Idaho username and password. They can quickly set up the Access Idaho username and password for free on the login page.
Form 956 returns for monthly, quarterly, and split-monthly filers are due Jan. 31. Returns for yearly filers are due Feb. 28.
For questions about Form 956 filing, call the Tax Commission at 334-7783 in the Boise area or toll free at 1-800-972-7660, ext. 7783.
Idaho's new online tax filing services were built by Idaho Information Consortium, a Boise-based subsidiary of eGovernment firm NIC (Nasdaq: EGOV) that manages Access Idaho on behalf of the state.
