Idaho Net Operating Loss. An Idaho net operating loss deduction described in Section 63-3021,
Idaho Code, and allowed by Section 63-3022(c), Idaho Code, may be subtracted to the extent the loss was incurred

(4-6-23)
02.

income may be subtracted unless the refunds have already been subtracted pursuant to Section 63-3022(a), Idaho

Income Not Taxable by Idaho. As provided in Section 63-3022(f), Idaho Code, income that is
exempt from Idaho income taxation by a law of the state of Idaho or of the United States may be subtracted if that
income is included in Idaho total income and has not been previously subtracted. Income exempt from taxation by
Idaho includes the following:
(4-6-23)
a.
Interest income from obligations issued by the United States Government. Gain recognized from
the sale of United States Government obligations is not exempt from Idaho tax and, therefore, may not be subtracted
from taxable income.
(4-6-23)
b.
Idaho lottery prizes exempt by Section 67-7439, Idaho Code. For prizes awarded on lottery tickets
purchased in Idaho a subtraction is allowed for each lottery prize that is less than six hundred dollars ($600). If a prize
equals or exceeds six hundred dollars ($600), no subtraction is allowed. The full amount of the prize is included in
income.
(4-6-23)
c.
Certain income earned by American Indians. An enrolled member of a federally recognized Indian
tribe who lives on his tribe's federally recognized Indian reservation is not taxable on income derived within that
reservation.
(4-6-23)
d.
Certain income earned by transportation employees covered by Title 49, Sections 11502, 14503 or

(4-6-23)
04.
Military Pay. Qualified military pay included in Idaho total income earned for military service
performed outside Idaho may be subtracted. Qualified military pay means all compensation paid by the United States
for services performed while on active duty as a full-time member of the United States Armed Forces which full-time
duty is or will be continuous and uninterrupted for one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or more. A
nonresident does not include his military pay in Idaho total income and, therefore, makes no adjustment.
(4-6-23)
05.
Social Security and Railroad Retirement Benefits. Social security benefits and benefits paid by
the Railroad Retirement Board that are taxable pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code may be subtracted to the extent
the benefits are included in Idaho total income.
(4-6-23)
06.
Household and Dependent Care Expenses. The allowable portion of household and dependent
care expenses that meets the requirements of Section 63-3022D, Idaho Code, may be subtracted if incurred to enable
the taxpayer to be gainfully employed in Idaho. To determine the allowable portion of household and dependent care
expenses, a percentage is calculated by dividing Idaho earned income by total earned income. The qualified expenses
are multiplied by the percentage. Earned income is defined in Section 32(c)(2), Internal Revenue Code.

the maintained household for the entire taxable year, the allowable deduction is eighty-three dollars ($83) for each
month the dependent resided in the maintained household during the taxable year. For purposes of this rule, a fraction
of a month exceeding fifteen (15) days is treated as a full month.
(4-6-23)
09.
Adoption Expenses. The allowable portion of adoption expenses that meets the requirements of
Section 63-3022I, Idaho Code, may be subtracted. To determine the allowable portion, calculate a percentage by

income is allowed for certain retirement benefits. To determine the allowable portion of the deduction for certain
retirement benefits, a percentage is calculated by dividing the qualified retirement benefits included in Idaho gross
income by the qualified retirement benefits included in federal gross income. The deduction allowable pursuant to
Section 63-3022A, Idaho Code, is multiplied by the percentage.
(4-6-23)
16.
Health Insurance Costs. The allowable portion of the amounts paid by the taxpayer during the
taxable year for insurance that constitutes medical care as defined in Section 63-3022P, Idaho Code, for the taxpayer,

pursuant to Section 63-3022Q, Idaho Code, is multiplied by the percentage.

Special First-Year Depreciation Allowance. As provided by Section 63-3022O, Idaho Code, if a
taxpayer claims the special first-year depreciation allowance on property acquired before 2008 or after 2009 pursuant
to Section 168(k), Internal Revenue Code, the adjusted basis of that property and the depreciation deduction allowed
for Idaho income tax purposes must be computed without regard to the special first-year depreciation allowance. The
adjustments required by this subsection do not apply to property acquired after 2007 and before 2010.
(4-6-23)
a.
Depreciation. The amount of depreciation computed for Idaho income tax purposes that exceeds
the amount of depreciation computed for federal income tax purposes may be subtracted.
(4-6-23)
b.
Gains and losses. During the recovery period, the adjusted basis of depreciable property computed
for federal income tax purposes will be less than the adjusted basis for Idaho income tax purposes as a result of
claiming the special first-year depreciation allowance. If a loss qualifies as a capital loss for federal income tax
purposes, the federal capital loss limitations and carryback and carryover provisions apply in computing the Idaho
capital loss allowed.
(4-6-23)
i.
If a sale or exchange of property results in a gain for both federal and Idaho income tax purposes, a
subtraction is allowed for the difference between the federal and Idaho gains computed prior to any applicable Idaho
capital gains deduction.
(4-6-23)
ii.
If a sale or exchange of property results in a gain for federal income tax purposes and an ordinary
loss for Idaho income tax purposes, the federal gain and the Idaho loss must be added together and the total may be
subtracted. For example, if a taxpayer has a federal gain of five thousand dollars ($5,000) and an Idaho loss of four
thousand dollars ($4,000), the amount subtracted would be nine thousand dollars ($9,000).
(4-6-23)
iii.
If a sale or exchange of property results in an ordinary loss for both federal and Idaho income tax
purposes, the difference between the federal and Idaho losses may be subtracted. For example, if a taxpayer has a
federal loss of three hundred dollars ($300) and an Idaho loss of five hundred dollars ($500), the amount subtracted
would be two hundred dollars ($200).
(4-6-23)
iv.
If a sale or exchange of property results in a capital loss for both federal and Idaho income tax
purposes, apply the capital loss limitations and subtract the difference between the federal and Idaho deductible
capital losses. For example, if a taxpayer has a federal capital loss of six thousand dollars ($6,000) and an Idaho
capital loss of eight thousand dollars ($8,000), both the federal and Idaho capital losses are limited to a deductible
capital loss of three thousand dollars ($3,000). In this case, no subtraction is required for the year of the sale. In the
next year, assume the taxpayer had a capital gain for both federal and Idaho purposes of two thousand dollars
($2,000). The capital loss carryovers added to the capital gain results in a federal deductible capital loss of one
thousand dollars ($1,000) and an Idaho deductible capital loss of three thousand dollars ($3,000). The taxpayer would
subtract the difference between the federal and Idaho deductible losses or two thousand dollars ($2,000) in computing
Idaho taxable income.
