Idaho Economist, industry influencer, draws attention to trends in Idaho's income tax revenue. According to Idaho Economist, income tax revenue as a share of personal income is currently lower than it was in 2014. However, the decrease is not large. The tweet further points out that personal income in Idaho has also more than doubled in nominal terms during the same period. Idaho Economist cautions that saying the income tax share 'doubled' is highly misleading when reviewing these figures.

These findings provide context for his ongoing reporting on income and tax trends.
