(2) Any changes to use of the water’s-edge method or any other changes beyond those described in paragraph (1) of this subsection may only occur with the written permission of the tax commission.

(c) For purposes of this section: (1) Dividends received from payors incorporated outside the fifty (50) states and District of Columbia, to the extent taxable, shall be treated as income subject to apportionment. (2) The income of corporations filing elections under section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed dividends received from payors incorporated outside the fifty (50) states and District of Columbia. (3) Eighty-five per cent (85%) of all dividends described in subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section shall be excluded from income subject to apportionment.

(b) The provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to determination of reporting periods and the due dates of payments of estimated tax shall apply to the estimated payments due under this section. (c) The amount of estimated tax due shall be determined as follows: (1) Commencing with the calendar quarter that begins July 1, 1987, in the case of any corporation which was required to pay tax under this chapter for its immediately preceding taxable year, the amount of each quarterly payment for its current taxable year shall be twenty-five percent (25%) of the lesser of: (i) The tax amount required to be reported on the return for the immediately preceding taxable year; or (ii) Ninety percent (90%) of the tax required to be paid with the current year’s return. (2) Any corporation required to make estimated payments under this section and who makes annualized estimated payments under the Internal Revenue Code shall be permitted to annualize its estimated payments under this section in the manner prescribed by regulation of the state tax commission. Such regulations shall, to the extent practicable, follow the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder relating to annualization of estimated payments. (d) The amounts paid as estimated taxes pursuant to subsection (c) of this section shall be considered to be in part payment of the tax imposed by this chapter on the person reporting such estimated tax. The part payment shall apply to such tax for the tax year during which the reporting period for which the estimate is made occurs. In the event that such part payments, together with all other part payments, estimated payments, withheld taxes or other credits allowable against the taxes imposed by this chapter shall exceed the amount of tax due, the state tax commission shall refund such excess within the time and in the manner prescribed in section 63-3072 (c), Idaho Code, relating to refund of taxes withheld by employers. (e) The provisions of this section shall in no way relieve any person from any obligation to file a return under any provision of this chapter at the time such return may be due. In the event that the estimated payments required under this section, together with any other part payments, estimated payments, withheld taxes or other credits applicable to the same taxable year are less than the amount of taxes imposed by this chapter, the unpaid tax shall be paid at the time prescribed in section 63-3034 , Idaho Code.

The commission may not require any person to transmit returns electronically unless such person is required to report on the return at least two hundred fifty (250) annual information returns. In promulgating such rules, the commission shall take into account, among other relevant factors, the ability of the taxpayer to comply, at a reasonable cost, with the requirements of such rules.

TITLE 63 REVENUE AND TAXATION CHAPTER 30 INCOME TAX 63-3045. Notice of redetermination or deficiency — Interest. (1)(a) If, in the case of any taxpayer, the state tax commission determines that there is a deficiency in respect of the tax imposed by this title, the state tax commission shall, immediately upon discovery thereof, send notice of such deficiency to the taxpayer by first class mail or by other commercial delivery service providing proof of delivery, whichever is the most cost-efficient. The notice shall be sent to the taxpayer’s last address known to the state tax commission. The notice of deficiency shall be accompanied by an explanation of the specific reason for the determination and an explanation of the taxpayer’s right to appeal. Within sixty-three (63) days after such notice is mailed, the taxpayer may, at his option, file a protest in writing with the state tax commission and obtain redetermination of the deficiency. (b) If the taxpayer files a protest with the state tax commission within the period set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection, and such protest does not comply with the rules of the state tax commission and is therefore inadequate to perfect the taxpayer’s right to a redetermination of the deficiency determination, then the state tax commission shall notify the taxpayer, in the same manner as set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection, of such inadequacies, setting forth in said notice the corrective action to be taken by the taxpayer to perfect his protest. The taxpayer shall thereafter have twenty-eight (28) days from the date of said notice to perfect his protest. (c) No assessment of a deficiency in respect to the tax imposed by this chapter, and no distraint or proceedings in court for its collection, shall be made, begun, or prosecuted until such notice has been mailed to the taxpayer, nor until all appeal rights relating to the deficiency have become final. (2)(a) Following a perfected protest, the taxpayer has the right to an independent administrative redetermination of the originating division’s determination before the state tax commission, including a hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the deficiency determination and the taxpayer’s protest with a commissioner or duly authorized representative of the commission. The meeting shall be held informally and evidence shall be freely admitted regardless of the rules of evidence. (b) Tax commission staff assigned to the administrative redetermination may not engage in communications relating to the taxpayer’s protest with employees of the originating division without first providing the taxpayer the opportunity to participate, except for questions that involve ministerial, administrative or procedural matters that do not address the substance of the issues or positions taken in the case or as otherwise allowed under title 63 , Idaho Code, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The state tax commission shall promulgate rules governing commun

TITLE 63 REVENUE AND TAXATION CHAPTER 30 INCOME TAX 63-3045A. Assessment of tax. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, no tax commission activities to enforce collection of tax may be conducted, nor may a proceeding to collect a tax be instituted, until taxes are assessed in accordance with the provisions of this section. (a) Taxes and related interest, including revisions for mathematical errors, are assessed immediately upon receipt of a tax return, amended return or other consent signed by the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s authorized representative showing the taxes due. The tax commission may presume that the signature is the signature of the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s authorized representative until the contrary is established by a preponderance of the evidence. (b) In the event that the amount of tax is understated on the taxpayer’s return due to a mathematical error, the state tax commission shall notify the taxpayer that an amount of tax in excess of that shown on the return is due and has been asserted. Such a notice of additional tax due shall not be considered a notice of a deficiency nor shall the taxpayer have any right of protest or appeal as in the case of a deficiency based on such notice, and the assessment and collection of the amount of tax erroneously omitted in the return is not prohibited by any provision of this chapter. (c) Any amount paid as a tax or in respect of a tax, other than amounts withheld at the source or paid as estimated income tax, shall be deemed to be assessed upon the date of receipt of payment, notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter. (d) For all other purposes of this chapter, a tax is deemed assessed when: (i) A taxpayer fails to file a protest with the state tax commission within the time prescribed in section 63-3045 , Idaho Code, or an action in district court or the board of tax appeals within the time prescribed in subsection (a) of section 63-3049 , Idaho Code; or (ii) Upon conclusion of any such proceeding for any amount upheld at that conclusion of such proceeding. (2) An assessment is not required before the tax commission may conduct audits and investigations or make inquiries of taxpayers or other persons relating to matters within the tax commission’s jurisdiction. The making of an assessment is not required before the tax commission may file a judicial action under section 63-3030A or 63-3064 , Idaho Code, or actions for injunctive or declaratory relief. (3) When taxes and related interest have been assessed, the state tax commission shall create a record of assessment by recording the liability of the taxpayer along with an identification of the taxpayer, the character of the liability assessed, the taxable period, if applicable, and the amount of the assessment. The record of an assessment shall be kept and maintained in a record in the office of the state tax commission in accordance with rules prescribed by the state tax commission. Upon request of the taxp

(1) If a taxpayer does not file a protest within the sixty-three (63) day period allowed, the notice of deficiency of the tax commission becomes final on the day following the end of the protest period. (2) If a taxpayer files a protest, but does not perfect the protest, the notice of deficiency of the tax commission becomes final on the twenty-ninth day following the date the tax commission notified the taxpayer that the protest was not perfected, except that the tax commission may reduce the amount of the deficiency during the twenty-nine (29) day period. (3) When a perfected protest has been filed, the state tax commission shall, within fourteen (14) days thereof, provide the taxpayer with a written acknowledgment of the protest. After the acknowledgment, a final decision of the tax commission must be rendered within one hundred eighty (180) days from either: (a) A request in writing, in a form prescribed by rules of the tax commission, from the taxpayer for a final decision on that issue; if the taxpayer requests such a decision, the tax commission may refuse to accept additional evidence or documentation or refuse to allow an appearance at any proceeding with the commission or any representative of the commission during such one hundred eighty (180) day period; or (b) The conclusion of any hearing pursuant to section 63-3045 (2)(a), Idaho Code, and the taxpayer has not requested or received any extension of time to present additional evidence or testimony. (4) A final decision may be held in abeyance, notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (3) of this section, with the prior approval in writing of the taxpayer. (5) If a final decision of the tax commission is not rendered or the protest is not resolved by compromise, consent or withdrawal of the notice of deficiency determination within the time limits established by subsection (3) of this section, the notice of deficiency shall be null and void ab initio, with prejudice. (6) A final decision of the tax commission shall be issued in writing and mailed or served upon the taxpayer within the time limits set forth herein. The final written decision of the tax commission shall, one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the final written decision, be available for public inspection and copying pursuant to the provisions of section 74-102 , Idaho Code, except: (a) The taxpayer’s name, address, taxpayer identification number, social security number, permit number, or other identifying information shall be removed from the final written decision of the tax commission that is made available to the public; and (b) Any proprietary or other identifying information contained in the written decision that the taxpayer requests be excised shall be excised by the tax commission in the final written decision made available to the public. The taxpayer must make such request in writing before ninety-on

(b) If any part of any deficiency is due to fraud with intent to evade tax, then fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the deficiency (in addition to such deficiency) shall be so assessed, collected and paid. (c) (1) In the event the return required by this chapter is not filed on or before the due date (including extensions) of the return, there may be collected a penalty of five percent (5%) of the tax due on such returns for each month elapsing after the due date (including extensions) of such returns until the return is filed. (2) In the event the return required by this chapter is filed but the tax shown thereon to be due is not paid, there may be collected a penalty of one-half percent (0.5%) of the tax due on such return for each month elapsing after the later of the due date of such return or the date the return was filed until the tax is paid. (d) (1) If there is a substantial understatement of tax for any taxable year, there shall be added to the tax an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of any underpayment attributable to such understatement. (2) For purposes of this subsection, there is a substantial understatement of tax for any taxable year if the amount of the understatement for the taxable year exceeds the greater of: (i) Ten percent (10%) of the tax required to be shown on the return for the taxable year, or (ii) Five thousand dollars (10,000) for five thousand dollars ($5,000). (4) For purposes of paragraph (d)(2) of this section, the term understatement means the excess of: (i) The amount of tax required to be shown on the return for the taxable year, over (ii) The amount of the tax imposed which is shown on the return. (5) The amount of the understatement under paragraph (4) shall be reduced by that portion of the understatement which is attributable to: (i) The tax treatment of any item by the taxpayer if there is or was substantial authority for such treatment, or (ii) Any item with respect to which the relevant facts affecting the item’s tax treatment are adequately disclosed in the return or in a statement attached to the return. (6) In the case of any item attributable to a tax shelter as defined in section 6661 of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) Paragraph (5)(ii) shall not apply, and (ii) Paragraph (5)(i) shall not apply unless (in addition to meeting the requirements of such paragraph) the taxpayer reasonably believed that the tax treatment of such item by the taxpayer was mor

TITLE 63 REVENUE AND TAXATION CHAPTER 30 INCOME TAX 63-3049. Judicial review. (a) Redetermination by the state tax commission may be reviewed in the district court for Ada county or the county in which the taxpayer resides or has his principal office or place of business by a complaint filed by the taxpayer against the state tax commission within ninety-one (91) days after the receipt of notice of the decision of the state tax commission denying, in whole or in part, any protest of the taxpayer or, within the same period, by filing an appeal with the board of tax appeals. Upon the serving of summons upon the state tax commission the case shall proceed as other civil cases but may be heard by the judge in chambers. If the case is appealed to the board of tax appeals, the hearing before that body shall proceed as set forth in the act creating such board. If the court finds that any tax is due, it shall enter judgment for such tax, including any interest or penalties that may also be due and owing, against the taxpayer. Any taxes, penalties or interest paid, found by the court to be in excess of that which can be legally assessed, shall be ordered refunded to the taxpayer with interest from the time of payment. In the case of sales or use tax and corporate income tax decisions by the state tax commission, when the amount asserted exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), no appeal to the board of tax appeals shall be allowed. (b) Before a taxpayer may seek review by the district court or the board of tax appeals, the taxpayer shall secure the payment of the tax or deficiency as assessed by depositing cash with the tax commission in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount asserted. In lieu of the cash deposit, the taxpayer may deposit any other type of security acceptable to the tax commission. No act, order or proceeding of the tax commission shall be valid until after the time allowed for taking such court action has expired or such court action is finally determined. As used in this section, the term amount asserted shall mean the total amount due, as set forth in the decision of the state tax commission. (c) Any party to the proceedings may appeal to the supreme court from the judgment of the district court under the rules and regulations prescribed for appeals. If the appeal be taken by the state tax commission, it shall not be required to give any undertaking or to make any deposits to secure the cost of such appeal or to secure the payment of any amounts ordered refunded by the court. (d) Whenever it appears to the court that: (1) Proceedings before it have been instituted or maintained by a party primarily for delay; or (2) A party’s position in such proceeding is frivolous or groundless; or (3) A party unreasonably failed to pursue available administrative remedies; the court, in its discretion, may require the party which did not prevail to pay to the prevailing party costs, expenses and attorney’s fees.

A certificate by the state tax commission to the effect that any property has been released from the lien herein provided for, or that such lien has been subordinated to other liens, shall be conclusive evidence that the property has been released or that the lien has been subordinated, as provided in the certificate. (2) If the tax commission determines that the filing of the notice of any lien was erroneous, the tax commission shall expeditiously, and, to the extent practicable, within fourteen (14) days after such determination, issue a certificate of release of such lien and shall include in such certificate a statement that such filing was erroneous. A lien is not an erroneous lien if it is accurate at the time the lien is filed. (3) Where an officer or employee of the tax commission knowingly or negligently fails to release a notice of lien, a taxpayer may bring an action against the tax commission pursuant to section 63-3074 , Idaho Code, in district court seeking direct economic damages and costs. A taxpayer must first notify the tax commission that a release was not issued timely.
