Earned income credit in Idaho

Varies

Does Idaho Have an Earned Income Tax Credit?

Short answer: No: Idaho doesn't offer a state earned income credit. No state earned income tax credit as of tax year 2026. A related break for older or lower-income homeowners: Property Tax Reduction (circuit breaker) up to $1,500 for 65+, disabled, widowed, and others with 2025 income of $39,130 or less.

Claim the federal EITC on Form 1040 (with Schedule EIC if you have qualifying children); state credits go on your state return.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
