Instructions for Idaho Form 51

(Return this form only if you're making a payment.)
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
If you can't file your Idaho tax return by April 15, 2013, you will be allowed an automatic six-month extension without filing a written
request. To qualify for an automatic extension, you must file your tax return by October 15, 2013. However, an extension of time to file
your return isn't an extension of time to pay your tax. To avoid penalties, you must pay 80% of your current year's income tax liability or
100% of the income tax reported on your income tax return for the preceding year, if one was filed. If you will owe $50 or less, a
payment isn't required in order to have a valid extension of time to file your return. However, interest will be charged.
Form 51 may also be used to make payments of Qualified Investment Exemption (QIE) recapture when you don't file your income tax
return by the due date. Write "Payment of QIE Recapture" at the bottom of the form and return it with your check.
Complete the tax payment worksheet below to see if you owe additional tax. If you owe additional tax but can't file by April 15, 2013,
send Form 51 with your payment. Your payment must be postmarked by April 15, 2013.
