How SLTax360 files Idaho surplus lines taxes

Idaho sets its own filing channel, fees and deadlines. We keep the Idaho rates and rules current and apply them to every invoice, so nobody on your team has to check a bulletin by hand.

Each Idaho transaction we file is itemized into its components: surplus lines tax (1.5%), stamping fee (0.5%). Your audit trail shows exactly which line went where. Confirmations are kept, deadlines are tracked, and filings are reconciled against your invoice data.

How Idaho filings are submitted: Idaho does not offer an unattended machine channel, so the platform calculates the amounts and generates the state's required file (CSV generator + Idaho SLA portal bulk upload) for submission through your own Idaho portal account. The confirmation is stored back against the filing. You keep your own Idaho licence and portal login either way.

Whether you're an MGA filing a handful of Idaho transactions per month or a wholesaler running hundreds, the amounts, the deadline and the paperwork are handled in one place. Want to verify the numbers yourself first? Run a free Idaho calculation (no signup required).
