Idaho Child Tax Credit Allowance Table - Updating tax rate - 2024 (2024.05)

Issue

The state of Idaho updated the child tax credit allowance with a new tax rate in 2024. I need to update payroll to calculate the Idaho state withholding correctly. 

 

Explanation

The state income tax withholding tables were updated for 2024 due to a law change that lowered the tax rates. This includes updating the Idaho Child Tax Credit Allowance Table to reflect the lower rates. You don't need to adjust withholding back to the beginning of the year, but you should use the revised tables going forward. 

 

Idaho State Tax Commission:
