Overview

Idaho landlord filing runs best in lanes: federal Schedule E first, Idaho individual income tax lane second, then side lanes for estimated tax, Idaho-specific conformity/capital gains checks, short-term-rental lodging taxes, and property valuation appeals if needed.

Your first Idaho lane choice is form type: Form 40 (resident) vs Form 43 (part-year/nonresident). Use Idaho STC forms hub and filing-year instructions as controlling authority.
