Summary: The committee first set aside RS 33066, Health Care Sharing Ministries, and then took up House Bill 733 on income taxes and partnerships. Representative Jeff Ehlers presented HB 733 as a way to let Idaho handle partnership audits at the partnership level, rather than auditing each individual partner, mirroring federal practice and reducing burden for both taxpayers and the Tax Commission. Ken McClure of the Idaho Society of CPAs and Jacob Swigart, a CPA partner, testified in support, explaining that the bill would simplify audits, reduce amended-return filings, and apply to pass-through entities such as partnerships, LLCs, and S corporations. Questions from members focused on interstate effects, limited partners, and how disputes would be handled; witnesses said the underlying audit and appeals process would remain unchanged, with only the payment and reporting mechanism shifting to the entity level. The committee then voted to send HB 733 to the floor with a due pass recommendation. The committee next heard RS 33066 from Senator Ben Taves, which would amend Idaho law to treat health care sharing ministry expenses as eligible medical expenses for medical savings accounts. Senator Taves said the change would allow MSA funds to be used for these ministry expenses, which are not currently treated like traditional insurance premiums under Idaho tax law. After no questions, the committee voted to introduce RS 33066. At the end of the meeting, the committee approved the minutes from February 23 and 24, 2026, and announced that it would not meet the following day, with the next meeting scheduled for the following week.
