What you need to check your refund
The the Tax Commission's refund page does not say what the tool asks for. Have a copy of your Idaho return ready; most state tools ask for your Social Security number and the exact refund amount on the return.

Why a Idaho refund can be delayed
The the Tax Commission lists these causes:
- First-time filers are added to the system first
- A letter asking you to verify your identity, confirm you filed, or send more information
- All returns go through fraud and accuracy reviews
- Paper returns are entered by hand
