QuickBooks Idaho Form 910 Withholding Payment Voucher: Filing and Payment Rules
QuickBooks prefills most of Form 910, but filers must set the cycle, verify read-only fields, and follow Idaho's EFT and mailing rules.
QuickBooks Desktop handles most of the heavy lifting for Idaho’s Form 910 Withholding Payment Voucher, but users preparing the form still need to understand which fields they are responsible for, when payments are due, and when mailing the voucher is actually unnecessary.
What Form 910 Covers
The Idaho Withholding Payment Voucher is used to remit state income taxes withheld from employee paychecks. QuickBooks automatically populates most of the form based on company data and state specifications, but filers must review every field before submitting — particularly the ones the software does not fill in on its own.
Filing Cycle and Due Dates
One of the first things to verify is the Account Filing Cycle field. QuickBooks uses this selection to calculate the tax due date and the scannable line at the bottom of the voucher. The three options — quarterly, monthly, and split-monthly — each carry different deadlines:
- Monthly filers must submit payments by the 20th of the month following the reporting period.
- Split-monthly filers follow the same 20th-of-the-following-month deadline, but their reporting period runs from the 16th of one month through the 15th of the next.
- Quarterly filers have until the last day of the month following the reporting quarter.
When a due date lands on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day. All payments made throughout the year are eventually reconciled on Idaho Form 956, the Annual Reconciliation.
When Not to File Form 910
Not every payment requires the voucher. Idaho law mandates Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for any payment of $100,000 or more. Credit card payments are permitted for amounts under that threshold. In both cases, filers should not submit a Form 910 — the voucher is only used when paying by check or money order.
Even if no income taxes were withheld during a given period, the form still must be filed. Filers enter a zero in the payment amount field rather than skipping the filing entirely.
Payment Amount Rounding
The payment amount on Form 910 should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Amounts under 50 cents are reduced to zero, while amounts of 50 cents or more are rounded up.
Read-Only Fields and Company Data
Several fields on the form contain scannable data that QuickBooks generates automatically — company name, account number, and similar identifiers. These fields cannot be edited directly on the form. If any of that information is incorrect, the fix has to happen in the main QuickBooks company data, not on the voucher itself. Once the underlying record is corrected, the form will reflect the updated information.
Mailing the Voucher
When paying by check or money order, the signed Form 910 should be mailed to:
Idaho State Tax Commission P.O. Box 76 Boise, ID 83707-0076
Getting the Numbers Right
For filers who need to verify where the figures on the form originated, QuickBooks includes a Help button within the form window that traces amounts back to their source data. Users can also export payroll summaries to Microsoft Excel for review, or save a copy of the completed form as a PDF for their records before filing.
