Requesting a payment plan

You can request a payment plan through TAP when we’ve processed your return and your balance is reflected in TAP.

Tips:

  • Pay as much as you can before the due date.
  • You can make extra payments anytime. This reduces your balance, as well as interest and penalty.
  • You’ll need your bank routing number and account number from the bottom of your checks. The routing number is the first group of numbers, and the account number is the middle group. Don’t include the last group, which is your check number.

TAP Tech Problems

Issues with registering

This section describes some common issues you might have while registering with TAP.

Can’t verify EIN

If you’re an out-of-state tax professional, TAP might not be able to verify your federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) when you try to register for your own account.

We might need to make a system adjustment for you. Contact us through the TAP Issues box in our Submit a question section, or call us at(208) 334-7660 in the Boise area or toll free at(800) 972-7660.

You see the message “Please verify that your SSN, name, and ZIP code are correct”

Check:

  1. Do you have an active Idaho tax account? If you’re new to Idaho, you can’t register with TAP until your tax information is in our system.
  2. Is your ZIP code correct? Your registration ZIP code must match what we have on file for your location ZIP code. This might differ from your mailing or PO Box address. Check your records to confirm you’re entering the ZIP code we have on file. You might want to try your last few ZIP codes if you think we could have an old location address for you.
  3. Contact us if you’re unable to proceed.

You see red fields

Fields that turn red when you try to submit changes are required fields that don’t have correct information in them.

  1. Complete all required fields. Required fields left blank have a red asterisk (*) to the right of the field.
  2. Double-check any red fields that have information in them. The system didn’t recognize what you entered. Hover over the field to see the error message.

Registration code didn’t arrive

When you first sign up with TAP, the Tax Commission sends you a physical letter containing a registration code. You need this code to complete your registration and log in. You should receive this letter within 7-10 business days. If you don’t receive the letter within 10 business days, contact our E‑File Help Desk.

Issues with logging in

This section describes issues you might see when you try to log in.

Forgot password

You can reset your password if you forget it.

To reset your password

  1. On the TAP home page, click Forgot username or password? (under the Log In button).
  2. Enter your username and email.
  3. Click Submit.
  4. You’ll receive an email. Click the link in that email and enter the answer to the security question you chose when you originally signed up. The answer is case sensitive.

    Note: Check your Junk and Spam folders if you don’t see the email. The link in the email is only valid for 10 minutes. If the link expires, repeat the steps above.

  5. Create your new password.

You see the message “Password attempts exceeded”

You’ll receive this message if you try to log in too many times with a username and password that don’t match your TAP account. This security measure ensures that you’re the only one accessing your account.

To unlock your TAP account, click Forgot username or password? and follow the instructions. If you can’t unlock your account, contact our E‑File Help Desk.

Registration code issues

When you first register with TAP, the Tax Commission sends you a letter with the registration code, which you need to finish the registration process. You should receive the letter within 7-10 days. Contact us if you don’t.

Authentication code issues

The Tax Commission requires using two‑factor authentication (2FA) as added security for your TAP account. We send authentication codes through an authentication app, email, or text message. You should receive the code within 1-5 minutes.

If you don’t receive the code in email:

  1. Check the login screen to be sure the email address on record is correct.
  2. Check if the email went to your Junk or Spam folder.
  3. If it’s been more than 5 minutes, contact us for help.

If you don’t receive the code as a text message:

  1. Make sure your phone plan allows for SMS (text) messaging.
  2. Note that some cell phone providers use security measures that slow text message delivery. If the wait for an authentication code is too long, consider using the authentication app or email instead.
  3. If you still haven’t received the code within 5 minutes, contact us for help.

To change the method for two-factor authentication, see the Changes and History guide.

Confirming we received your return or payment

You should see a confirmation screen after you successfully submit your tax return or payment. If you didn’t see this screen, we didn’t receive your return or payment.

  • Complete all required fields. Required fields left blank have a red asterisk (*) to the right of them.
  • Look for red fields. Our system didn’t recognize what you entered. Hover over the field to see the error message and correct it.

You can also check your submissions through TAP. See the Changes and History guide.

TAP Advanced Use

Need help using TAP?

  • If you see a red asterisk (*) next to a blank field, fill in that field because it’s required.
  • If a field turns red, hover over it to see the error and correct it.
  • See the Tech Problems with TAP guide for common issues.
  • Call us at(208) 334-7660 in the Boise area or toll free at(800) 972-7660.
  • Contact us through the TAP Issues box in our Submit a question section.

Setting up your account and client accounts

As a tax professional, you must have your own TAP account (see the Starting with TAP guide). Then, add access to client accounts if you want to file and pay taxes on their behalf.

Requesting access to client TAP accounts

You must add client access for each tax account (tax type) such as sales tax, withholding, or IFTA. The process of accessing a client account is also a two-step process.

Note: The client must have allowed third-party access to its TAP account. Access is allowed by default.

To request access to a client TAP account

  1. Log in to your TAP account.
  2. On the More tab, go to the Access panel and click Add Access to Another Account.
  3. When asked if you have received a registration code, leave No selected and click Next.
  4. Enter the information for a tax account (tax type) you’d like to access and click Submit.
  5. Add any other tax accounts for this client you want to request access for.
  6. Ask your client to look for a letter from us, which will take 7-10 business days. When the letter arrives, have your client give you the registration code and see “To confirm access to a client TAP account” below.

To confirm access to a client TAP account

  1. After you’ve received the registration code from your client, log back into your TAP account.
  2. On the More tab, go to the Access panel and click Add Access to Another Account.
  3. When you’re asked if you received a registration code, click Yes. Enter the code. This is case sensitive.
  4. Click Submit.

You now have access to the client tax accounts you requested access to.

Managing client TAP accounts

You can do many tasks for your client through TAP. Tasks include paying their taxes, reviewing pending payments, and seeing if you can still cancel payments.

To schedule payments

  1. On the TAP home page, select the client you want to make a payment for.
  2. Locate the panel for the tax account you want to make a payment for and click Make a Payment.
  3. Choose the payment channel (bank account) you want to pay from.
    • If there’s a default payment channel, that information appears. Leave it as is to pay from that channel.
    • Select New to add a different bank account. Optionally, you can save the payment channel if you want it to be the default for this tax account.
  4. Enter the Payment Type, Payment Date, and Amount.
  5. Click Submit.
  6. Click OK to confirm. You’ll see a confirmation screen and receive an email confirmation after the software starts processing the payment.

To review payments

  1. On the TAP home page, go to the Summary tab and select the client whose payments you want to review.
  2. On the More tab, go to the Payments & Returns panel and select Manage Payments and Returns.

Tip: In the Status column, click Make Payment to schedule a payment for that account.

To delete payments

See the Changes and History in TAP  guide to cancel payments made by ACH debit that still have a Pending status. You can’t delete these payments if they have a Processing status. You also can’t delete payments made by credit card.

Managing access

You can create secondary logons and security groups for a TAP account.

Adding a secondary logon

You can create secondary logons to allow someone else to manage your TAP account. The person with the secondary logon only sees the accounts and can perform the actions you give them access to. Each user should have a unique logon.

In previous versions of TAP, you could have “Additional” logons. You can still use and manage Additional logons, but you can’t add new ones. Instead, add a secondary logon, if needed.

To add a secondary logon

  1. On the TAP homepage, click Manage My Profile.
  2. On the More tab, go to the My Users panel and click Manage Secondary Logons.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Enter the Username, Name, Email, and Type of Access.
  5. Click Save.

The person you specified will receive an email to finish setting up the secondary logon.

A security group sets the accounts that someone with a secondary logon can access. When you add a secondary logon, the secondary logon goes into the Default security group. You can create other security groups if you only want people with secondary logons to be able to access certain client accounts. The client can only be in one security group.

To add a security group for secondary logons

  1. On the TAP home page, click Manage My Profile.
  2. On the More tab, go to the My Users panel, and click Manage Secondary Logons.

  3. On the Customer Security tab, you can see the clients you have access to. Click the security group with which the client is currently associated. 
  4. Select the new security group for the client. The client can only be in one security group.
  5. Click Save.

Preventing any access to your TAP account
