BOISE, Idaho — April 2, 2024 — As the April 15 deadline for filing income tax returns approaches, the Idaho State Tax Commission is offering six tips to make the process smoother:

1. E-file your return

Filing your return electronically has many benefits that include:

The software helps with the math.

You get a confirmation email.

Your electronic filing provider keeps a record of your tax return.

You get a faster refund than if you file by paper. Refunds generally arrive in about seven to eight weeks when you e-file versus 10 to 11 weeks when you file a paper return. Using direct deposit gets the refund to you even faster.
