Idaho House votes to increase the grocery tax credit Idahoans receive to offset the sales tax collected on food to $ 155 per year.

Under current law, most Idaho taxpayers receive a tax credit of $ 120 per year, while seniors receive a credit.

The $ 155 credit would cover about $10,033 worth of groceries per year or $ 861 per month for a family of four in Idaho .

Not all items sold in grocery stores would be subject to the credit.
