Section 63-3026A(3), Idaho Code
01.
In
General. In accordance with federal Treasury Regulation Section
1.61 -2, termination or severance
pay is treated as compensation for services. The amount of termination or
severance pay received by a nonresident that is subject to Idaho income tax is
determined pursuant to this rule. (4-6-23)
02.
Definitions. For purposes of
this rule workdays, Idaho workdays and total workdays are defined in Rule
270 of these rules.
(4-6-23)
03.
Calculation of
Idaho Source Severance Pay. The amount of severance pay that is Idaho
source income is to be equal to the severance pay received during the taxable
year multiplied by the ratio of Idaho workdays to total workdays during either
of the following: (4-6-23)
a. The employee's
entire period of employment with such employer; or (4-6-23)
b. The employee's last twelve (12) months of
employment with such employer. (4-6-23)
04.
Alternative Method. If the
Idaho compensation percentage computed in Subsection
272.03 does not fairly represent
the extent of the taxpayer's personal service activities in Idaho, the taxpayer
may propose or the Tax Commission may require an alternative method. For
example, working hours may be a more appropriate measure than workdays in some
cases. (4-6-23)
a. The taxpayer will fully
explain the alternative method in a statement attached to his Idaho individual
income tax return. (4-6-23)
b. The
alternative method may be used in lieu of the method in Subsection
272.03 unless the Tax Commission
expressly denies its use. (4-6-23)
