What makes Idaho paychecks different
Idaho taxes wages at a flat 5.3% after the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 joint in 2026), the result of House Bill 40 in 2025, which cut the rate from 5.695% and was billed as the largest tax cut in state history. The state also carves out a small zero bracket ($4,811 single) below the 5.3% rate. There are no city or county income taxes in Idaho and no reciprocity agreements, so Washington residents who commute to Coeur d'Alene or Lewiston pay Idaho tax on those wages while their home state charges nothing.
Idaho is one of the few states that taxes groceries at the full 6% sales tax rate, and it offsets that with a grocery credit on the income tax return, $155 per person in 2025, claimed even by filers who owe no tax. Families also get a $205 per-child tax credit. Because Idaho starts from federal taxable income, federal changes flow through quickly: in February 2026 the legislature passed HB 559 to adopt most of the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act provisions (including the tip and overtime deductions) retroactive to 2025.
Nothing is withheld for state paid leave or disability. Idaho's revenue mix is roughly balanced between income tax, sales tax and local property tax, and property taxes on primary homes are moderate thanks to a homeowner's exemption that shields part of the value.
