 10        63-3033.  EXTENSION  OF TIME. (a) Taxpayers shall have an automatic exten-
 11    sion of time for filing any return, declaration, statement or other  document,
 12    or  payment  required  by this chapter for a period of six (6) months if on or
 13    before the unextended due date the taxpayer has paid at least  eighty  percent
 14    (80%)  of  the total tax due on the income tax return when it is filed, or the
 15    total tax due on the income tax return for the prior  year  if  a  return  was
 16    filed for the prior year.
 17        (b)  If, on the unextended due date, the payment required to meet the pro-
 18    visions of subsection (a) of this section, after consideration of any previous
 19    credits  or  payments  applicable  to the return, is fifty dollars ($50.00) or

 21    sion.  However,  interest  shall  accrue as provided in subsection (f) of this
 22    section.
 23        (c)  Taxpayers residing outside any of the United States and  Puerto  Rico

 36    the extension.

 38    is less than eighty percent (80%) of the total tax due under the provisions of
 39    this  chapter  and  is less than the amount of the total tax due on the income
 40    tax return for the prior year, except as permitted by subsection (b)  of  this
 41    section,  a penalty may be applied to the total of the balance due unless rea-
 42    sonable cause can be established. The penalty shall be:

  1        before the extended due date, two percent (2%) per month from the original
  2        due date to the date of payment.
  3        (2)  If  the return is not filed or the taxes for the taxable year are not
  4        paid on or before the extended due date, the penalty provided  in  section
  5        63-3046(c), Idaho Code, from the original due date.
  6        (fg)  In  all  cases  of an extension of time in which to file any return,
  7    interest shall be paid on any tax due from the original due date  to  date  of
  8    payment at the rate provided in section 63-3045, Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                           R.S. 10465

This bill eliminates the requirement to make small estimated tax
payments of less than $50 in order to qualify for an extension of
time to file an income tax return.  It also clarifies the penalty
for underpayment of estimated taxes by limiting the penalty to
cases of failure to pay taxes but not to cases of failure to file
an income tax return.  The effective date of the bill is January
1, 2002, making it applicable to income tax returns for the year
2001 filed in 2002.  




                           FISCAL NOTE


     This bill will cause a one-time delay of income tax receipts
from FY 2002 to FY 2003 of up to $500,000
