Idaho Educational Tax Credit

As an Idaho taxpayer, your donations to the James A. and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy Research may be eligible for a 50% education tax credit. This credit is available regardless of whether or not you itemize deductions. For those who do itemize, a donation to U of I allows income tax deductions on both your state and federal returns.

A tax credit is a reduction to the actual tax you owe or an increase in your refund.

Tax credit is the smallest of:

  • One-half of the amount donated
  • 50% of your Idaho tax (10% for Corporations)
  • $500 ($1,000 if Married filing jointly, $5,000 for Corporations)
  • Your Idaho tax minus the amount of credit for income tax paid to other states

Example giving benefits:

  • Idaho Married Couples may take up to 50% of a $2,000 gift (a tax credit of $1,000)
  • Idaho Individuals may take up to 50% of a $1,000 gift (a tax credit of $500)
  • Idaho Corporations may take up to 50% of a $10,000 gift (a tax credit of $5,000)
