  • prints this amount on the main return, not on the extension.
Alternatively, you can overrule the calculated amount by entering the amount actually paid.

Pay extension using electronic funds transfer
Individual income tax filers can elect to register to pay their balances, estimates, and extension payments using the Federal Reserve's Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit or Credit online payment system. This option will need to be registered for in advance at https://idahotap.gentax.com/TAP/_/#1.
If selecting ACH Debit, the client will be linked to Idaho's service provider to start the enrollment process. If selecting ACH Credit, fax the completed form to (208) 334-7625 or email the scanned form as an attachment to eft@tax.idaho.gov. The state will fax or email their Tax Payment Addenda Record when ACH credit is setup on their end.
The client will then take the Tax Payment Addenda Record to their bank and request ACH Credit setup. ACH Credit takes several days to process so if your client prefers this method of ACH Debit, allocate additional processing time between the state and the client's bank.
The client will receive instructions on how to go about making their electronic funds transfer payments if they elect to register for either ACH Debit or Credit. Contact the State Tax Commission at (208) 334-7660 in the Boise area, or call (800) 972-7660, if you have additional questions.
Entering
X
 prints a filing instruction paragraph advising the filer they’ll be paying their extension online using the electronic funds transfer (EFT) method and that they should follow the instructions issued by the state for using EFT.
Additional payment
Enter the payment amount and the date of the payment. This information is used in the calculation of late filing payment penalties and interest.
