Section 35.01.01.285 - S CORPORATIONSSections 63-3025 and 63-3025A, Idaho Code
01.Minimum Tax. The minimum tax is required of every S corporation that is required to file a return. A name-holder or inactive S corporation that is authorized to do business in Idaho pays the minimum tax of twenty dollars ($20) even though the S corporation did not conduct Idaho business activity during the taxable year.02.Nonproductive Mining Corporations. A nonproductive mining corporation is a corporation that does not own any producing mines and does not engage in any business other than mining. An S corporation that qualifies as a nonproductive mining corporation is required to file and pay tax if it receives any other income.03.Application of Credits. If an S corporation was previously a C corporation with an Idaho income tax credit carryover at the time of the S corporation election, the S corporation may use any available credit carryover against the tax on the excess net passive income or net recognized built-in gains if the carryover period related to the Idaho income tax credit has not expired before the taxable year in which the tax must be reported.04.Tax Resulting From the Requirements of Section 63-3022L, Idaho Code. An S corporation is subject to tax at the corporate rate on the income required to be reported for qualifying shareholders under Section 63-3022L, Idaho Code. This tax is in addition to any tax the S corporation owes under Section 63-3025 or 63-3025A, Idaho Code.05.Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary. A corporation that is a qualified subchapter S subsidiary (QSSS) will be treated for Idaho income tax purposes the same as treated for federal income tax purposes. The QSSS will not be treated as a separate corporation, but all the assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of a QSSS will be treated as assets, liabilities and such items of the S corporation. Since the QSSS is not treated as a separate taxpayer, it is not subject to the minimum tax.Idaho Admin. Code r. 35.01.01.285
