Businesses can e-file state, federal income taxes together

Businesses wanting to prepare and e-file both their federal and state income tax returns should visit the Idaho State Tax Commission website, tax.idaho.gov. The Tax Commission’s Business income tax e-file providers page links to authorized software providers that offer electronic filing for corporations, S corporations, partnerships, and fiduciaries.

Software providers’ fees and services vary. Businesses should compare the offers to see which one best serves their needs.

“E-filing is the easiest and most cost-effective way to submit tax returns,” Tax Commission Chairman Jeff McCray said. “It saves prep time, paper, and mailing costs.”

Last year about 82% of Idaho businesses filed their income tax returns online.
