Im a nonresident alien. Can I claim the standard deduction on my Idaho return?
Most nonresident aliens cant claim the standard deduction on their Idaho returns. However, students and business apprentices from India can claim the standard deduction according to their tax treaty. Nonresident aliens can deduct certain itemized deductions on their Idaho returns. These deductions include charitable contributions to qualifying U.S. organizations, casualty and theft losses, and miscellaneous deductions. Any state and local income taxes deducted on the federal return must be added back on the Idaho return.
