How do I determine my residency status for Idaho?

Are you a resident, a nonresident, or a part-year resident? The following will help you decide:

You are an Idaho resident, even though you live outside Idaho, if the following are true:

• You think of Idaho as your permanent home
• Idaho is the center of your financial, social, and family life
• Idaho is the place you intend to return to when you are away

You are also an Idaho resident if the following are true:

• You maintained a home in Idaho the entire year
• You spent more than 270 days in Idaho during the tax year

You are a nonresident if your permanent home is outside of Idaho all year.

You are a part-year resident if you moved into or out of Idaho during the tax year.

You are still a resident if:

• You temporarily moved outside of Idaho, or
• You moved back to Idaho after a temporary absence.
