In response to this record-breaking number of refunds issued, the Board of Examiners subcommittee held a meeting today where they heard the Idaho State Tax Commission's request for additional funds for the state's tax refund account. The Board will consider taking action on this request during its regular meeting on June 16.
It is worth noting that this request is required by law as the state's refund fund is closely monitored with checks and balances in place to ensure that there are enough funds available for processing refunds. Any remaining amount is then distributed to the General Fund.
