IA 100 — Iowa Capital Gain Deduction Information Guide

Before You Complete the Applicable Iowa Capital Gain Deduction Form
Due to recent legislation, the Iowa capital gain deduction is repealed for most transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2023. This repeal applies to all sales except:

1. Certain sales of real property used in a farming business
2. Sales of cattle or horses held for breeding, draft, dairy, or sporting purposes or other breeding livestock by a retired farmer who has sold all or substantially all of their interest in the farming business
3. Sales of cattle or horses held for breeding, draft, dairy, or sporting purposes or other breeding livestock by a taxpayer that received more than half of their gross income from farming or ranching and did not make a single life-time election under item 2 listed above
4. Deductions for previously eligible installment sales that occurred prior to January 1, 2023

The Iowa capital gain deduction is subject to review by the Iowa Department of Revenue. The
Department will use the applicable IA 100 to verify that the taxpayer(s) qualifies for the deduction. This completed form must be included with the IA 1040 to support the Iowa capital gain deduction claimed.
The Department may request additional information if needed. A separate form must be completed for each distinct sale with the exception of the IA 100G and multiple livestock sales reported on the IA
100A. The applicable form must be completed each year of a qualifying installment sale. The applicable form must be completed even if the gain was passed through to you. Married taxpayers filing separately must complete separate Iowa capital gain deduction forms based on each spouse's ownership percentage in the property. All married taxpayers must complete a separate IA 100G regardless of filing status.
The sale of an asset by a C corporation generally does not qualify for the Iowa capital gain deduction.
Each Iowa capital gain deduction must be reported on one of the below forms.
The following form can be used for all qualifying sales.
