If, on the unextended due date, the payment required to meet the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, after consideration of any previous credits or payments applicable to the return, is fifty dollars ($50.00) or less, such payment shall not be required in order to qualify for the extension. However, interest shall accrue as provided in subsection (g) of this section. Payment of any balance of tax is due on the earlier of the extended due date or the date the return is filed.

# (c)

Taxpayers residing outside any of the United States and Puerto Rico (including persons in military or naval service) shall have an automatic extension of time within which to file income tax returns with this state for a period which shall expire on the fifteenth day of the sixth month following the close of their taxable year.

The penalty shall be:

If the taxes for the taxable year are paid on or before the extended due date, two percent (2%) per month from the original due date to the date of payment.

If the taxes for the taxable year are not paid on or before the extended due date, the penalty provided in section 63-3046 (c), Idaho Code, from the original due date.

In all cases of an extension of time in which to file any return, except for those related to section 7508 of the Internal Revenue Code, interest shall be paid on any tax due from the original due date to date of payment at the rate provided in section 63-3045 , Idaho Code.
