For the 2024 tax year the deduction is $68,796 if you are married filing jointly and $45,864 if you file single, for both the 65-and-older and the 62-and-older-with-a-disability paths.
There is nothing to file in advance. Claim the deduction on your Idaho income tax return, following the Idaho Individual Income Tax Instructions for the year you are filing.
Your Form 1099-R showing the retired pay, proof of your age, and if you are claiming on the 62-and-older path, your VA rating letter, disability pension award letter, or a physician certification of a permanent disability.
