Economic nexus threshold

You must register and collect once your Idaho sales reach $100,000, measured over the previous or current calendar year. There is no transaction-count threshold. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator do not count toward the remote seller's threshold — only your direct sales do.

Filing frequency

Idaho TAP assigns a filing frequency at registration based on expected tax liability and adjusts it over time. Frequencies used in Idaho: Monthly · Quarterly · Semi-annual · Annual.

Due dates

Returns are due on the 20th of the month following the period. When the due date falls on a weekend or holiday it moves to the next business day.

Late filing: 5% per month up to 25%, plus interest.

Marketplace facilitator rules

Since June 2019, marketplace facilitators (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, TikTok Shop) collect and remit Idaho tax on your marketplace sales. How Idaho treats them:

Who collects?Facilitatoron marketplace orders; you collect on Shopify / your own site.

Count toward nexus?Noonly your direct sales are tested against the remote-seller threshold.

Do you still file?YesYes — a registered seller still files, even for periods where all sales were through marketplaces (a zero or marketplace-only return).

How reported?SpecialExcluded from the seller's Form 850 (Idaho: marketplace sales excluded by instruction).

Direct salesYou collectShopify, your own site, invoices — you collect and remit on your return.

Marketplace treatment changes state by state and year by year — SalesTax50 separates marketplace and direct sales automatically, but confirm with Idaho State Tax Commission when in doubt.

FAQ

Do I need a Idaho permit if I only sell on Amazon?

If you exceed the $100,000 threshold with your direct (non-marketplace) sales or have physical presence (including inventory in Idaho warehouses), yes — you must register even though Amazon collects for you.

What if I sell on Shopify and TikTok Shop?

TikTok Shop collects as a marketplace facilitator; Shopify does not. You collect on Shopify orders and report both streams on your Idaho TAP return — SalesTax50 separates them automatically.

Does SalesTax50 file Idaho returns automatically?

Yes — AutoFile prepares your Form 850 Sales and Use Tax Return from imported sales; you approve every return before it is submitted, and a $99 one-time state setup configures your existing Idaho permit.
