Do I still need to file Idaho State Taxes

I was told I "don't need to file Idaho state taxes" since I only lived in Idaho for 3 months in 2016 and made WAY under the income level ($1800 in those 3 months). Do you still need to file them?

If you are a Idaho resident, you must file a return if your gross income is at least:

  • Single -  $10,350 (65 or older - $11,900)
  • Married (filing jointly) - $20,700 (65 or older - $21,950)
  • Married (filing separately) - $4,050
  • Head of household - $13,350 (65 or older - $14,900)
  • Qualifying widow(er) -  $16,650 (65 or older - $17,900)


Part-year residents must file an Idaho income tax return if their gross income from all sources while a resident and gross income from Idaho sources while a nonresident is more than $2,500.

Nonresidents must file an Idaho income tax return if their gross income from Idaho sources is more than $2,500.

For additional information, see the Idaho Individual Income Tax booklet.
