Please note, there are some exceptions for the refund timelines.

Why is my Idaho state tax refund less than expected?

If your tax refund is less than you expected, all or part of your Idaho income tax refund may have been seized for an unpaid debt such as child support, unreimbursed unemployment overpayments, sheriff’s garnishments, bankruptcy trustees or for unpaid federal tax debts.
