Renters credit in Idaho

Can Renters Get a Tax Break in Idaho?
Short answer: No: Idaho doesn't offer a renter's credit or rent rebate. Idaho has no state tax credit or rebate specifically for renters. Idaho's Property Tax Reduction (circuit breaker) program requires owning and living in your home; renters can still claim Idaho's refundable grocery credit on their income tax return. Renters who itemize federally can deduct sales tax (6% state rate, about 6.03% with local) or Idaho income tax, whichever is bigger.
Rent on your own home isn't deductible on your federal return; the exceptions are a home office used for your business or renting out part of the place you rent.
Records to keep: Keep your lease, rent receipts or a landlord rent certificate, and proof of household income. Check your state's current-year form and deadline before you apply.
