How does Amazon FBA sales tax work in Idaho in 2026?

For 2026, Amazon collects and remits Idaho sales tax on your FBA and MFN orders as a marketplace facilitator. You are still responsible for any direct-to-consumer or Shopify sales into Idaho once those off-Amazon sales cross $100,000, and you may need Idaho registration if FBA inventory is stored in-state.

Does Amazon FBA inventory in Idaho create physical nexus?

Storing inventory in a state is the classic physical-presence trigger across US states, and it applies regardless of sales volume. Pull your Amazon Inventory Event Detail report and look for ID fulfillment-center activity. Whether Idaho then requires a registration when a marketplace facilitator already collects on all your Idaho orders is a per-state rule — some states want the registration for information reporting, others do not — so confirm Idaho's position with the Idaho Department of Revenue before you register or skip it.

Does Amazon collect Idaho sales tax on my FBA orders?

Yes — Amazon is a marketplace facilitator in Idaho and collects and remits Idaho sales tax on your FBA and MFN sales automatically.

Do I still need to register in Idaho as an FBA seller?

If Amazon stores your FBA inventory in Idaho, you may have physical nexus and need to register for informational filing. Check your Amazon inventory reports for ID distribution.

What about direct-to-consumer sales outside Amazon?

Those are your responsibility. If your Shopify store or website sells into Idaho above $100,000, you register independently.

If your Amazon business sells $100,000 into Idaho in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit Idaho sales tax.

Amazon FBA and sales tax in Idaho

Idaho has a marketplace facilitator law, so Amazon calculates, collects, and remits Idaho sales tax on the FBA and MFN orders it facilitates for you. You do not collect tax on those transactions yourself.

Separately, if Amazon stores your FBA inventory in a Idaho warehouse, you may have physical nexus — independent of the economic threshold. Whether that alone obliges you to register when a facilitator already remits the tax is a per-state question; several states say yes for information reporting.

When you still need to file in Idaho

You sell direct-to-consumer from your own store outside Amazon (Shopify, your website) into Idaho.
You have inventory stored in a Idaho FBA center (check your Amazon Seller Central inventory reports by state).
You sell wholesale, dropship, or run retail trade shows in Idaho.
State requires an information return even for marketplace-only sales (rules vary).

Common Amazon-seller mistakes in Idaho

Assuming marketplace facilitator status covers everything — if Amazon stored your inventory in Idaho, some states still want a registration on file.
Double-collecting when you sell the same SKU via Amazon AND your own Shopify store. Amazon collects; Shopify collects. Both remit. The buyer pays tax twice. Audit your setup.
Reporting marketplace-facilitated sales on your Idaho sales tax return as taxable when they should be reported as marketplace-facilitated (non-taxable for you). State form boxes vary.

Idaho nexus note

Idaho sales/use tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: effective June 1, 2019, an out-of-state retailer without a physical presence in Idaho must collect Idaho sales tax once its combined Idaho sales exceed $100,000 in the current or previous calendar year. Idaho uses a sales-only threshold — no transaction-count test. The threshold counts all Idaho retail sales — taxable, exempt, wholesale, and sales facilitated through third-party marketplaces — and marketplace-facilitated sales still count toward a seller's own threshold even when the marketplace collects the tax. A marketplace facilitator without Idaho physical presence must register and collect once the combined total of its own sales plus the sales it facilitates for retailers exceeds $100,000. Idaho's state sales tax rate is 6%, with limited local resort-city and auditorium-district taxes. Idaho State Tax Commission source data last retrieved 2026-06-14.
