Fax Idaho Department of Revenue — What to Send and How
Before you fax Idaho State Tax Commission about a state tax matter, it helps to know what actually moves by fax in Idaho — and what does not. For Idaho residents in the Intermountain West, Idaho State Tax Commission is the office behind the state's state taxes program. This page covers what to fax, how to find the office's current fax number, and how to send it securely.
Does Idaho State Tax Commission accept a fax?
You generally file and pay state taxes electronically, yet the department accepts fax for particular documents — a POA form, documents answering a notice, or an offer-in-compromise packet. Use the fax number printed on the letter you received. Either way, do not assume fax works everywhere — check the agency's rules for your document first.
Finding the official fax number
Because Idaho State Tax Commission handles a state tax matter through different offices, the right fax depends on your document. Check the form's instructions or the notice, verify the line on the official site, and keep it with your file.

When fax works for a tax matter
A power-of-attorney form or a response to an audit letter is where fax fits a revenue matter. Include the letter's reference number so the fax attaches to the right assessment or account. A complete, referenced packet is what keeps a tax matter from bouncing back.
How to find the Idaho State Tax Commission fax number
The right fax line depends on which office and which document, so confirm it before you send. Look for the fax on the office's contact page, and verify it against the form instructions so it matches the right unit. Once you have the working number, keep it with your file so the next fax is quicker.

Federal agencies still write fax into new rules and notices
The Federal Register — the daily journal of U.S. federal rulemaking — regularly publishes rules and notices that reference fax as an accepted or required submission channel for filings with agencies like the IRS, SSA, and CMS. That is why fax remains a live requirement for many official forms even as electronic portals expand.
