Your no-tax-on-overtime deduction
Idaho (2026): allows the same deduction — $5,995.60 off state taxable income.
The 2026 conformity scramble
Idaho’s conformity bill passed in February 2026, after the season for filing 2025 returns had opened, so the State Tax Commission updated its instructions in March 2026 and told filers they could claim the larger standard deduction, the senior deduction and the deductions for tips, car-loan interest and overtime compensation. On Form 40 the overtime amount goes through line 18; Form 43 filers use line 40 and keep a separate worksheet.
Unpaid wages
The Idaho Department of Labor takes wage claims for wages due but not paid through an online wage claim form. Because Idaho has no overtime statute, an overtime dispute is decided under the FLSA.
A flat minimum wage
Idaho’s minimum has been $7.25 in every year of the U.S. DOL history table since the federal increase of 2009.
Example week
Idaho’s median hourly wage, $23.06 in May 2025, drives the example week.
