# Typical Refund Timeframes
- E-filed? Expect your refund about seven to eight weeks after you receive an acknowledgment that we have your tax return.
- Filed on paper? Expect your refund about 10 to 11 weeks after we receive your return. We must manually enter information from paper returns into our database.

# Who Must File
Your residency status and income determine if you need to file an Idaho return. See the Residency and Income sections below. However, in general, it's:
- Every Idaho resident who must file a federal income tax return
Your Idaho filing status must be the same as your federal filing status. For example, if you file a joint federal return you also must file a joint Idaho return. The tax year and accounting method used on your Idaho return must match those used on your federal return.
If a taxpayer dies before filing a current year return, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative must file the return. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator, or anyone who's in charge of the deceased taxpayer's property.
# Residency
# General Information 2025
- You're also an Idaho resident if both of these are true:
- You maintain a home in Idaho the entire year. You spend more than 270 days in Idaho during the tax year.
- You're a part-year resident if you moved into or out of Idaho during the tax year. You're still a resident if both of these are true: You temporarily moved outside of Idaho. You moved back to Idaho after a temporary absence.
- You're a nonresident if your permanent home is outside of Idaho all year.
- You're also a nonresident if all of these are true: You're an Idaho resident who lived outside of Idaho for at least 445 days in a 15-month period. After satisfying the 15-month period, you spent less than 60 days in Idaho during the year. You didn't have a personal residence in Idaho for yourself or your family during any part of 2025. You didn't claim Idaho as your federal tax home. You weren't employed on the staff of a U.S. senator or representative. You didn't hold an elective or appointive office of the U.S. government other than the armed forces or a career appointment in the U.S. Foreign Service.
Note: The above exception to being an Idaho resident doesn't apply to a qualified service member.
Community property
Idaho is a community property state. Idaho's community property laws generally treat property and income acquired during marriage differently than other property. For more information visit
# Military Personnel
Idaho law generally follows federal law regarding which type of military pay (active duty, disability, reserve, or retirement) is taxable.
Qualified service member
A qualified service member is:
- Any member of the U.S. military.
- A member of the National Guard that the President of the U.S. or U.S. Secretary of Defense calls to duty for more than 30 consecutive days to respond to a national emergency that the President declares and federal funds support.
- A member of the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in active service.
- A member of the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service in active service.
Military home of record
The qualified service member's residence is the same as their home of record.
Idaho residents on active duty - stationed in Idaho If Idaho is your military home of record and you're on active duty stationed in Idaho, Idaho taxes all of your military wages and all nonmilitary income regardless of the source. File Form 40.
Idaho residents on active duty - stationed outside of Idaho Report all your Idaho income to Idaho if you meet all the following criteria:
- You joined the military as an Idaho resident.
- Idaho is your military home of record.
- You were on active duty for 120 or more consecutive days.
- You were stationed outside of Idaho for all or part of the year.
File Form 40 if you're single or if you're married and your spouse also is an Idaho resident.
File Form 43 if you're married and your spouse is an Idaho nonresident, part-year resident, or military nonresident.
- Check the "Idaho Resident on Active Military Duty" residency status box for yourself.
- Check the applicable residency status box for your spouse.
Idaho residents in the military don't lose Idaho General Information 2025 (continued) residency or domicile by being absent because of military orders.
A qualified service member isn't a resident of, or domiciled in, Idaho just by being stationed in Idaho.
Nonresidents on active duty stationed in Idaho
Idaho doesn't tax your military income if your military home of record isn't Idaho and you're on active duty stationed in Idaho for all or part of the year.
Idaho taxes nonmilitary income from Idaho sources.
File Form 43 if your gross income from Idaho sources is more than $2,500. The instructions for Form 43 begin on page 15.
# Federal Military Spouses Residency Relief Act
Idaho doesn't tax the earned income of qualifying spouses of Idaho service members. This is due to the federal Military Spouses Residency Relief Act.
As a service member's spouse, you qualify for this exemption if both of these are true:
- You're married to a service member who's serving in Idaho and the service member registered their home of record in another state.
- You've moved to Idaho with the service member and have the same domicile (permanent residence) as the service member's home of record.
If you qualified for the Idaho income tax military spouse exemption, report any Idaho withholding on Form 43, line 66.
National Guard members called to active duty in a combat zone Idaho follows federal law and provides income tax relief for service members on active duty in combat zones. Below is a summary of how these laws affect Idaho National Guard members:
- All individual tax filing deadlines are extended for at least 180 days after your last day in a combat zone.
- No interest or penalty accrues for nonpayment of individual income taxes while you're in a combat zone.
- If you're enlisted or a warrant officer, you don't owe tax on military pay received while in a combat zone. If you're a commissioned officer, the monthly exclusion is capped at the highest enlisted pay plus any hostile fire or imminent danger pay received.
- Write "COMBAT ZONE" and the date of deployment on top of the tax return you're filing.

| Penalties | |
| Idaho law provides penalties for not filing tax returns by the due date, not paying tax due on time, not prepaying enough on extension returns, not paying when you file on extension returns, and other situations. For more information or to calculate a penalty, see our Interest and Penalties page at tax.idaho.gov/penalties. | |
| Interest | |
| We charge interest on the amount of tax due from the original due date of the return until paid at the rate of 6% per year (rate effective for 2026). | |
| Amended Returns | |
| Use Form 40 or 43 to amend your return. Check the amended return box at the top of the form and enter the reason for amending. See Amended Return on page 7 or 15 for more information. If your taxable income or tax credits change because of an audit, you must send written notice including an amended return to the Tax Commission within 120 days of the final determination. Include copies of all federal and state schedules that apply to you. If you owe additional Idaho tax and don’t send written notice within 120 days of the final federal determination, we apply a 5% negligence penalty. We charge interest on any tax due. If the final determination results in an Idaho refund, you must file an amended Idaho income tax return with the written notice. If the statute of limitations is closed, you have one year from the date of the final determination to file for the refund. | |
| Rounding | |
| Round the amounts on your return to the nearest whole dollar. Round down if under 50 cents, round up if 50 cents or more. | |
| Extension of Time to File | |
| This isn’t an extension of time to pay your taxes—it’s an extension to file your return. You automatically get an extension of up to six months to file your return if you’ve paid at least one of these: • 100% of what you paid for state income taxes the year before • 80% of your current year’s tax liability You can avoid a penalty for late filing, but we must charge interest on the remaining tax until you pay it. Complete the worksheet on Form 51 to see if you meet the extension requirements. To avoid a penalty, pay online at tax.idaho.gov/epay or mail your payment with Form 51 by April 15, 2026. | |

- blind, check the box for "Spouse."
Line 12c Claimed Dependent

Lines 13 - 16
# Standard Deduction
Most people can find their standard deduction by looking at the instructions to the left of Form 40, line 16. Use the Standard Deduction Worksheet beginning on this page to calculate your standard deduction if either of these is true:
- You checked any boxes on lines 12a through 12c.
- Someone can claim you or your spouse, if filing jointly, as a dependent.
You can use either your federal itemized deductions or standard deduction, whichever benefits you more.
You Must Itemize If:
- Your filing status is married filing separately and your spouse itemizes.
- You had dual status as a nonresident alien for part of 2025, and you were a resident alien or U.S. citizen during the rest of the year.
You don't have to itemize if you file a joint return with your spouse who was a U.S. citizen or resident at the end of 2025, and you and your spouse agree to be taxed on your combined worldwide income.
Idaho requires you to subtract state income tax, local income tax, or general sales tax on federal Schedule A from your total itemized amount before you use that amount to reduce your income. Because of this addback, it might be more beneficial to itemize for federal purposes but use the standard deduction for Idaho.
EIN00046 03-02-2026
If the IRS considers you or your spouse a nonresident alien and you aren't from India, your standard deduction is zero. If you're nonresident aliens from India, use the standard deduction for your filing status.
If line 15 is more than line 16, use your itemized deductions on line 15. If line 16 is more than line 15, use your standard deduction on line 16.
# Itemized Deductions
If you use federal Schedule A to itemize, follow these instructions for line 14.
If federal Schedule A, line 5d, is:
- $40,000 or less ($20,000 if married filing separately), enter the amount from federal Schedule A, line 5a.
- More than $40,000 ($20,000 if married filing separately), subtract lines 5b and 5c from line 5e, and enter the amount here. Enter zero for any result less than zero.
Federal Foreign Tax Credit: If you claim the federal foreign tax credit, Idaho allows that amount as a deduction. Idaho doesn't have a credit that matches the federal foreign tax credit.
Add the amount you claimed for the federal foreign tax credit to your Idaho itemized deductions.

| The donations on lines 54 through 61 are voluntary and will either reduce your refund or increase your tax due. Once you make the donation, you can’t change it. You might be able to include these donations as charitable deductions if you itemize on your 2026 income tax return. If you have questions about your donations, contact the agencies listed. If you’re filing an amended return, your donations can’t be less than the amounts on the original return. If you make a donation and owe tax, you must pay the tax at the time of filing.

# Standard Deductions
Most people can find their standard deduction by looking at the instructions to the left of line 36 on Form 43. Use the Standard Deduction Worksheet on page 20 to calculate your standard deduction if you did either of these:
- You check any boxes on lines 32a through 32c.
- Someone can claim either you or your spouse as a dependent, if filing jointly.
You can use either your federal itemized deductions or standard deduction, whichever benefits you more.
You must itemize if:
- You're married filing a separate return (filing status 3), and your spouse itemizes.
- You were a nonresident alien for any part of 2025 (exception for taxpayers from India. See below).
You don't have to itemize if you file a joint return with your spouse who was a U.S. citizen or resident at the end of 2025, and you and your spouse agree to be taxed on your combined worldwide income.
Idaho requires that you subtract state income tax, local income tax or general sales taxes reported on federal Schedule A from your total itemized amount and then use the resulting figure to reduce your income. Because of this addback, it might be more beneficial to itemize for federal purposes but use the standard deduction for Idaho.
If the IRS considers you or your spouse nonresident aliens and you aren't from India, your standard deduction is zero. If you're nonresident aliens from India, use the standard deduction for your filing status.
If line 35 is more than line 36, use your itemized deductions on line 35. If line 36 is more than line 35, use your standard deduction on line 36.
# Itemized Deductions
If you use federal Schedule A to itemize, use the following instructions for line 34:

You must qualify for both parts to receive this deduction.
# Part One - Age, Disability, and Marital/Filing
Status
The recipients must be at least age 65 or be classified as disabled and be at least age 62.
The following individuals are classified as disabled:
- An individual recognized as disabled by the Social Security Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board, or the Office of
# Management and Budget
- A veteran of a U.S. war with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or more
- A veteran of a U.S. war with a nonservice-connected disability pension
- A person who has a physician-certified permanent disability with no expectation of improvement If you're married, you can't claim this deduction if you file separately.
If you're an unremarried widow or widower of a pensioner and receive qualifying survivor benefits, you might be eligible to claim the retirement benefit deduction if you meet the age/disability requirements.
Part Two - Qualified Retirement Benefits The recipients must meet the requirements in Part One, and their qualified retirement benefits must be one of the following:
- Civil Service Employees: Retirement annuities paid by the U.S. Civil Service Retirement
# System (CSRS), the Foreign Service
Retirement and Disability System (FSRDS), or the offset programs of these two systems.

Retirement annuities paid to a retired federal employee under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) don't qualify for the deduction.
You can tell if your benefits are paid under the CSRS or FERS by looking at the first digit of the account number on your CSA-1099, if you received one.
If the first digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the benefits are paid out of CSRS.
If the first digit is 7 or 9, the benefits are paid out of FERS and don't qualify.

Similarly, benefits that PERSI paid relating to the old Idaho Falls Police Retirement Fund might qualify for the deduction.
If you received a 1099R and your account number includes the IFP (Idaho Falls Police) designation, you can include those benefits in your deduction calculation. Benefits paid out of the PERSI Base Plan don't qualify for the deduction.
Disability pension that the federal Railroad Retirement Act paid might not be included on your Form RRB-1099 or RRB-1099-R, if you're under the minimum retirement age. Instead it might be included on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 1 as wages.
