Idaho Statutes Title 63. Revenue and Taxation § 63-2702A. Refunds--Limitations--Interest

(1) If the tax commission determines that any amount due under this act has been paid more than once or has been erroneously or illegally collected or computed, the tax commission shall set forth that fact in its records and the excess amount paid or collected may be credited on any amount then due and payable to the tax commission from that person and any balance refunded to the person by whom it was paid or to his successors, administrators or executors. The tax commission is authorized and the state board of tax appeals authorized to order the tax commission in proper cases to credit or refund such amounts whether or not such payments have been paid under protest and certify such refund to the state board of examiners.

(2) No such credit or refund shall be allowed or made after three (3) years from the time the payment was made, unless before the expiration of such period a claim therefor is filed by the taxpayer.

(3) Interest shall be allowed on the amount of such credits or refunds at the rate provided in section 63-3045, Idaho Code, from the date such tax was paid.
