Holding Periods.
(4-6-23)
a.
In General. To qualify for the capital gains deduction, property otherwise eligible for the Idaho
capital gains deduction must be held for specific time periods. The holding periods for Idaho purposes generally
follow Sections 1223 and 735, Internal Revenue Code.
(4-6-23)
b.
Exception to the Tacked-On Holding Period. The holding period of property given up in a tax-free
exchange is not tacked on to the holding period of the property received if the property given up was nonqualifying
property based on the requirements of Section 63-3022H(3), Idaho Code.
(4-6-23)
c.
Installment Sales. The determination of whether the property meets the required holding period is
made using the laws applicable for the year of the sale. If the required holding period is not met in the year of sale, the
gain is not from qualified property. The classification as nonqualified property will not change even though the gain
may be reported in subsequent years when a reduced holding period is applicable.
(4-6-23)
05.
Holding Periods of S Corporation and Partnership Property.
(4-6-23)
a.
Property Contributed by a Shareholder to an S Corporation or by a Partner to a Partnership. A
shareholder or partner who contributes otherwise qualified property to an S corporation or partnership may treat the
pass-through gain on the sale of that property as a qualifying Idaho capital gain if the property has, in total, been held
by the shareholder or partner and the S corporation or partnership for the required holding period. The
noncontributing shareholders or partners may treat the pass-through gain as a qualifying Idaho capital gain only if the
S corporation or partnership held the property for the required holding period.
(4-6-23)
b.
Property Distributed by an S Corporation or Partnership.
(4-6-23)
i.
Distributions. For purposes of this rule, the holding period of property received in a distribution
