How to File an Amended Idaho Return

Idaho
"The Gem State"

If you need to change or amend an accepted Idaho State Income Tax Return for the current or previous Tax Year, you need to complete Form 40 (residents) or Form 43 (nonresidents and part-year residents). You can prepare a current tax year Idaho Tax Amendment on eFile.com, however you cannot submit it electronically. In comparison, the IRS requires a different Form - Form 1040X - to amend an IRS return (do not use Form 1040 for an IRS Amendment). 

The IRS might send you a notification to change an error on your Return, or you might have discovered an error. If you or the IRS amended or changed one of your IRS Tax Return(s), the IRS will report this to the Idaho Tax Agency, thus you should file an Idaho Amendment within one year.
