What we need to discuss tax records

The Idaho State Tax Commission is committed to protecting you and your information. We do this by sharing your sensitive information only with you or your legal representative. To ensure we share your data properly, we'll ask for information – in addition to a Social Security number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) – that will verify your identity.

You'll get faster service if you have the following information and documents available when you contact us by phone, email, or in person:

  • Government-issued photo ID - driver's license, passport, ID card
  • Tax Commission-issued account number
  • Correspondence number/document that matches a letter we sent you
  • Name as it appears on tax return and address from last filing
  • Your name if you're representing a taxpayer
  • Filing status on last return filed
  • Spouse's SSN
  • Permit number (if applicable, e.g. sales or withholding account number)
  • Power of Attorney (POA)
  • Refund amount
