But Section 63-3026A(3) of the Idaho Administrative Code states:

"Unemployment compensation benefits are Idaho source income if the benefits are received by the taxpayer from the state of Idaho..."

Since Idaho can tax non-residents on all Idaho-source income, it appears that the taxpayer's unemployment compensation received from Idaho is in fact taxable by Idaho.

 

If received by an Oregon resident, it is also taxable by OR, since OR taxes all the income of its residents, regardless of source.  OR will grant a credit for the taxes paid to ID on the dollars taxed by both, so as to prevent double taxation.
