Economic nexus
Idaho economic nexus threshold
Idaho's economic nexus rule decides when out-of-state sellers must collect sales tax. Here's the current threshold, how it's measured, and how the transaction-count rule has changed.

What is economic nexus in Idaho?
Economic nexus means you can owe sales tax in Idaho based purely on your sales volume there — no physical presence required. It traces to the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair decision. Idaho's threshold took effect June 2019.
Today the threshold is $100,000 in sales, measured over previous or current calendar year.
The transaction-count history
Idaho has never used a transaction-count trigger — only the sales figure matters.
If your only nexus reason is the transaction count, watch it closely — a low-revenue, high-order business can cross it.
What counts toward the threshold
cumulative gross receipts from sales delivered into Idaho; includes marketplace sales and exempt sales
Marketplace-facilitated sales (Amazon, Etsy, eBay) count toward your Idaho threshold even when the marketplace remits the tax.
Where TrailingZero fits
TrailingZero connects to your store read-only, maps where you actually have nexus state by state, and tracks your sales against Idaho's threshold so you register only when you truly cross it — and deregister when you fall below. During any wind-down it can file the zero-dollar returns so nothing lapses — and you only pay for the states you genuinely keep. Run a free audit anytime; this page is free education either way.
