Idaho Fuels Tax Refund

The Idaho State Tax Commission has asked us to share some information with Idaho CPAs about Idaho's Fuels Tax Refund.

The Tax Commission has been experiencing recurrent problems with "incomplete" Form 75 claims and fuels tax refund claims for gasoline consumption that is not eligible for a refund.

Click here to see an example of an "incomplete" refund claim which was actually completed by a CPA and attached to an Idaho income tax return this year. The Form 75 only identified the taxpayer, had the "farming" box marked in Section II (Business Activities) and listed the amount of the gasoline and diesel tax refund claim in Section IV (Total Refund). The most important section, Section III, which requires the CPA / taxpayer to enter the nontaxable use of the fuel and the required list of equipment the fuel was consumed in, was totally left blank. A Form 75 refund claim can not be processed without Section III being completed.

Because the Commission is experiencing such a high rate of error in the Form 75s being filed, the Commission mailed out an information packet to 6,000 Idaho citizens who had filed Form 75 refund claims in previous years. The information packet mailed to the public was made up of the three following documents. Click on each document title to download a copy of the document.
