Idaho 183-Day Rule Checker

No. Idaho's statutory residency threshold is 270 days, not 183, and any part of a calendar day with Idaho presence counts as a full day toward that total under Idaho Code §63-3013(1)(b). You're a statutory resident if you maintain a place of abode in Idaho for the entire year and hit that 270-day aggregate, independent of domicile.

Not necessarily, if you qualify for Idaho's 445-day absence exception: being out of Idaho for at least 445 days within a 15-month period lets a domiciled Idahoan be treated as a nonresident. But the exception doesn't apply if your spouse or minor children keep living in your Idaho home more than 60 days a year, or if you claim Idaho as your federal tax home for away-from-home expenses.

Up to 270 days in the aggregate during the year, since Idaho's statutory residency test kicks in above that threshold for anyone maintaining an Idaho place of abode. But Idaho counts any part of a day as a full day, so short visits add up faster than in states with a majority-of-day rule.

Idaho taxes capital gains as ordinary income but allows a 60% deduction on net gains from qualifying Idaho property, generally real property held at least 12 months, claimed on Form CG. The deduction is specific to Idaho property; gains on out-of-state real estate or most stocks and financial assets don't qualify.

Both are generally due within 90 days of becoming an Idaho resident, one of the more generous new-resident windows among Mountain West states.

No documented large-scale residency-audit program has been published for Idaho, and it isn't named among the states most commonly flagged as aggressive on residency. The state's real trap for residents is procedural: the 445-day absence exception has hard disqualifiers, most importantly a spouse or minor children staying in the Idaho home, that catch people who assume a long absence alone changes their status.
