TAXATION -- Amends existing law to update references to the current Internal Revenue Code.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This bill relates to income taxes. It is the annual bill to update references to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The bill conforms the Idaho Income tax code to changes made to the IRC that affect the 2024 tax year. The Idaho income tax code uses federal taxable income as a starting point for both businesses and individuals. Our tax forms use federal adjusted gross income as a starting point. Idaho uses a static conformity to a specific date, currently January 1, 2024. This bill updates Idaho Code section 63-3004, to January 1, 2025.
