A 1099 occupational therapist in Idaho pays a flat 5.3% state tax on net profit, stacked on federal income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax a W-2 employer would have split with you. Idaho applies a flat 5.3% with no local income taxes anywhere in the state, and every dollar of assessment kits and NBCOT fees you document on Schedule C cuts all three bills at once.
