# What's New for 2025

Before You Begin Prior to completing the IA 1040, complete either the federal 1040 or 1040-SR. The federal form must be completed even if there is no federal filing requirement, for purposes of completing the IA 1040. Also, note that the line references are the same on the federal 1040 and 1040-SR. Rounding off to Whole Dollars: You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total. If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the decimal point. If the Department needs to adjust your tax return, the adjustment will be calculated to the cent. Rounding of IA 148 credits: The Department cannot allow IA 148 credits for more than what is calculated or awarded. If your software does not allow the calculation of tax credits to the cent, the processing of your return may be delayed if the credit is rounded up to a higher amount than what is specifically allowed or awarded.

Line 1f: The new federal "Enhanced Deduction for Seniors" has been added to the IA 1040. This line does not directly affect the calculation of Iowa taxable income as the deduction is already included in your federal taxable income. However, for Iowa purposes this deduction is considered a personal exemption that must be added back when calculating the low-income exemption (filing thresholds), alternate tax, tax reduction, or taxable income for purposes of the health insurance deduction; and has been added to the IA 1040 for this purpose. Line 5: Iowa now has a flat tax rate of 3.8%. Line 6: A lump-sum amount received from a governmental or other pension or retirement plan, including defined benefit or defined contribution plans, annuities, individual retirement accounts, plans maintained or contributed to by an employer, or maintained or contributed to by a self-employed person as an employer, and deferred compensation plans or any earnings attributable to a deferred compensation plan is not subject to Iowa lump-sum tax if the recipient is disabled, fifty-five years of age or older, or is the surviving spouse of an individual or is a survivor having an insurable interest in an individual who would have qualified. Iowa Modifications (Schedule 1) ● College Savings Iowa or Iowa Advisor 529 Education Savings Plan: Beginning in tax year 2025, include any amounts contributed to a college savings Iowa account or Iowa Advisor 529 Education Savings Plan up to $5,800 per beneficiary on Schedule 1, line 14. ● Income from a farm tenancy agreement: Beginning in tax year 2025, include the net income from a farm tenancy agreement that qualifies for the exclusion on Schedule 1, line 18. UPCOMING FOR 2026: Threshold for estimated tax payments: Starting with tax year 2026, the tax threshold for when an individual is required to make estimated tax payments has been raised from $200 to $1000. See 2026 IA 1040ES Iowa Individual Estimated Income Tax Instructions (45-009) for more information on estimated tax payments for 2026.

Who Must File? You must file an Iowa return if... you were a resident or part-year resident of Iowa in 2025 and meet any of the following requirements. Nonresidents, see items f. and g. The following items must be added for the taxpayer (and spouse, if applicable) to determine if there is a filing requirement: ● Iowa taxable income from IA 1040, line 4 ● Standard deduction or itemized deductions from IA 1040, line 1d not to exceed the amount included in IA 1040, line 2. ● Personal exemption allowed for federal purposes from federal Schedule 1-A, line 37 ● Qualified business income deduction from IA 1040, line 1e ● Any amount of lump-sum tax distributions of taxable income ● Carryover of net operating loss claimed on the IA 1040 Schedule 1, line 17 Married couples filing jointly: Incomes of both spouses must be included when determining who must file. a. You are using filing status single or married filing separately and the total of the lines listed above is more than $9,000. ($24,000 if 65 or older on 12/31/25) b. You are using filing status married filing jointly, head of household, or qualifying surviving spouse, and the total of the lines listed above is more than $13,500. ($32,000 if you or your spouse was 65 or older on 12/31/25) c. You were claimed as a dependent on another person's Iowa return and had Iowa taxable income (IA 1040, line 4) of $5,000 or more. NOTE: You do not need to add the items listed above to IA 1040, line 4 in determination of this filing requirement. d. You were in the military service with Iowa shown as your legal residence even though stationed outside of Iowa unless you are below the income thresholds above. For information about military spouses, see Tax Responsibilities of Military Personnel.

e. You were subject to Iowa lump-sum tax. f. You were a nonresident or part-year resident and your Iowa-source net income IA 126, line 27, (pdf) was $1,000 or more, unless below the income thresholds above. In the case of married nonresidents, the spouses' combined income is used to determine if their income is high enough to require them to file an Iowa return. To understand "Iowa-source income," see the instructions for IA 126, lines 1 through 27. Common examples of Iowa-source income include: ■ Wages earned in Iowa ■ Income from Iowa property ■ Rental income ■ Capital gain on the sale of property ■ Farming income from Iowa farmland activities and land rent ■ Self-employment income earned while working in Iowa ■ Iowa unemployment benefits ■ Iowa gambling winnings ■ Income from an IA K-1 issued by pass-through entities, such as partnerships and S-corporations g. You were a nonresident or part-year resident and subject to Iowa lump-sum tax (even if Iowa-source net income is less than $1,000). NOTE: If you do not meet any of the above requirements but you had Iowa tax withheld and you wish to receive a refund, you must file an Iowa return.

Conformity with the Internal Revenue Code For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, the starting point for taxation is federal taxable income. Iowa has also adopted rolling conformity, meaning the state will automatically conform with any changes made to the Internal Revenue Code in the calculation of federal taxable income, except as specified by Iowa law. The calculation of Iowa taxable income is the same as the calculation for federal taxable income,with certain exceptions which are described in the income tax instructions. Examples of the differences between federal and Iowa taxable income include but are not limited to: depreciation for certain assets placed in service before tax year 2021, section 179 special election deductions, and the business interest expense limitation.

# Step 2 Filing Status

Step: 2 Step Subject: Filing Status Your filing status on the Iowa return is the same filing status as on your federal return. Status 1. Single Check filing status 1 if you used the single filing status on your federal return. All single filers must answer the question, "Were you claimed as a dependent on another person's Iowa return?" If this question is not answered, you will be taxed as a dependent. Status 2. Married Filing Jointly Check filing status 2 if you used the married filing jointly status on your federal return.. Use the same filing status as your federal return, even if only one spouse had income from Iowa sources. Both spouses must sign the return. Joint and several liability Both spouses are jointly and severally liable for the total tax due on the return, except when one spouse is eligible for relief from joint and several liability under criteria established pursuant to section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code. Spouse with debts If a spouse has outstanding debt that may be automatically paid (setoff) with your refund, be sure to read our Refunds May Be Used to Pay Debt information. Status 3. Married Filing Separately Check filing status 3 if you and your spouse filed separate federal tax returns. Use the same filing status as your federal return, even if only one spouse had income from Iowa sources. Write your spouse's name and Social Security Number in the spaces provided at the top of the return in Step 1. If you are claiming the low-income exemption or alternate tax calculation, write your spouse's net income (for information on how to calculate the net income, see line 1g of the Alternate Tax Worksheet, 41-145) in the space provided in Step 2. The processing of refunds, alternate tax calculations, and low-income exemptions will be delayed without this information or supporting schedules. Taxpayers using filing status 3 may have to prorate (divide) certain items between them on the return. This information is included with instructions for each line of the return. Married taxpayers using filing status 3 must use the combined income of both spouses in determining eligibility for exemption from tax. If either spouse has a net operating loss that is carried back or forward, then the other spouse cannot use the low-income exemption. If the spouse with the net operating loss chooses not to carry the loss back or forward, then the other can claim the low-income exemption. A statement must be attached to the return saying that the spouse with the net operating loss will not carry it back or forward. Status 4. Head of Household Check filing status 4 if you are filing as head of household for federal income tax purposes. If you have a qualifying person (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service) living with you who you did not claim as a dependent on this return, enter the person's full legal name in Step 2. Status 5. Qualifying Surviving Spouse Check filing status 5 if you meet the federal filing requirements for qualifying surviving spouse. Enter the dependent's information in Step 3. Enter the child's full legal name in Step 2 if the qualifying person is a child but not your dependent.

# Step 3 Exemption Credits

Step: 3 Step Subject: Exemption Credits a. Personal Credit If you are filing single (status 1), married filing separately (status 3), or qualifying surviving spouse (status 5), enter 1 in the Personal Credit space. If you are filing married filing jointly (status 2) or head of household (status 4), you are eligible for an extra credit and should enter 2 in the Personal Credit space. Add the number of personal credits and multiply by $40. Enter this amount on the line. Note to dependents filing their own returns: You may claim a $40 personal exemption credit even if you are claimed as a dependent on another person's Iowa return. b. Additional Personal Credit: 65 or older or blind If you were 65 or older on or before January 1, 2026, you may take an additional personal credit. If your spouse was 65 or older on or before January 1, 2026, and you are filing a joint return (status 2), you may take an additional personal credit for your spouse. If you were blind on December 31, 2025, you may take an additional personal credit. If your spouse was blind on December 31, 2025, and you are filing a joint return (status 2), you may take an additional personal credit for your spouse. Add the number of credits for 65 or older and blind and multiply by $20. Enter this amount on the line. c. Dependents: Consult IRS Publication 17 to learn who qualifies as a dependent. Enter the number of dependent children and other dependents you are claiming for federal income tax purposes. Add the number of dependent credits and multiply by $40. Enter this amount on the line. Federal tax law determines whether or not a person is a dependent. Consult IRS Publication 17 to learn who qualifies as a dependent. The IRS has guidelines that also determine which parent/guardian can claim a dependent when separate returns are filed (such as in the case of divorced parents). The Iowa tax law follows federal guidelines. d. Total Add the dollar amounts and enter on Step 3, line d and on line 8. Dependent(s) Enter the first name, last name, social security number, and relationship to you for each dependent claimed on the tax return. If you have more than four dependents, check the box and include a separate page listing any additional dependents with this return. Married Separate Filers: You must report the same dependents you claimed on your federal income tax return.

# Step 4 Federal Total Income

Line: 1 Step: 4 Step Subject: Taxable Income Line 1a: Federal total income. Enter federal total income as reported on federal 1040, line 9. If you were not required to file a federal return you must enter on line 1a the amount that would have been reported on federal 1040, line 9, if a return was required to be filed. Line 1b: Federal adjustments to income. Enter federal adjustments to income as reported on federal 1040, line 10. Line 1c: Federal adjusted gross income. Enter federal adjusted gross income as reported on federal 1040, line 11a. Line 1d: Standard deduction or itemized deductions. Enter the standard deduction or itemized deductions, if applicable, as reported on federal 1040, line 12e. This information may be needed for taxpayers who claim the low-income exemption, alternate tax calculation, tax reduction, or taxable income for purposes of the health insurance deduction. Line 1e: Qualified business income deduction. Enter the qualified business income deduction as reported on federal 1040, line 13a. This information may be needed for taxpayers who claim the low-income exemption, alternate tax calculation, tax reduction, or taxable income for purposes of the health insurance deduction. Line 1f: Enhanced Deduction for Seniors. Enter the enhanced deduction for seniors from federal 1040, Schedule 1-A, line 37. For Iowa purposes, this deduction is considered a personal exemption. This line does not directly affect the calculation of Iowa taxable income as the deduction is already included in your federal taxable income. However, for Iowa purposes this deduction must be added back when calculating the low-income exemption, alternate tax, tax reduction, or taxable income for purposes of the health insurance deduction; and has been added to the IA 1040 for this purpose. Federal Taxable Income Line: 2 Step: 4 Step Subject: Taxable Income Enter your federal taxable income as reported on federal 1040, line 15. If the amount of federal taxable income is zero, subtract the amount reported on IA 1040 lines 1d and 1e, and federal form 1040 line 13b from the amount reported on IA 1040, line 1c and report this amount (this amount can be negative). If you were not required to file a federal return you must enter on line 2 the amount that would have been reported on federal 1040, line 15, if a return was required to be filed. If the amount of federal taxable income

would have been zero, subtract the amount reported on IA 1040 lines 1d and 1e, and federal form 1040 line 13b from the amount reported on IA 1040, line 1c and report this amount (this amount can be negative). In other words, for either scenario above, if the calculation on federal form 1040 line 15 would have been a negative number if not for the limitation listed on the federal form to enter zero if the amount calculated for line 15 is zero or less, this negative number can be used for Iowa purposes only on IA 1040 Line 2. Net Iowa Modifications Line: 3 Step: 4 Step Subject: Taxable Income Enter amount from IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 21. This amount may be positive or negative. Schedule 1 Schedule 1 is used to report Iowa modifications to federal taxable income. Amounts should only be reported if there is a difference between the federal and Iowa reportable amounts. Column A should be used to report additions to federal taxable income and Column B should be used to report subtractions from federal taxable income. Report all amounts on lines 1-12 (Column A or B) and 14-19 as a positive number. If line 21 is negative, enter as negative on the IA 1040, line 3.

# Iowa Taxable Income

Line: 4 Step: 4 Step Subject: Taxable Income Add lines 2 and 3. Do not include lines 1a through 1f. Check the box only if using low-income exemption, alternate tax, or tax reduction.

The following items must be added for the taxpayer (and spouse, if applicable) to determine if you qualify for low-income exemption, alternate tax, or tax reduction: 1. Iowa taxable income from IA 1040, line 4 2. Standard deduction or itemized deductions from IA 1040, line 1d not to exceed the amount that is included in IA 1040, line 2 3.

Nonresidents and Part-Year Residents: In addition to the exemption provisions above, if you were a nonresident or part-year resident and had Iowa-source net income of less than $1,000 (see note below) you are exempt from Iowa tax. For a description of "Iowa-source income", see the instructions for the IA 126, lines 1 through 24. If you had Iowa taxes withheld and are requesting a refund, or choose to file an Iowa return even though you aren't required to do so, you must complete the entire IA 1040 and the entire IA 126. NOTE: If you were a nonresident or part-year resident and subject to Iowa lump-sum tax (even if Iowa-source income is less than $1,000), you are required to file an Iowa return reporting the lump-sum tax even if you have no regular Iowa income tax liability.

Illinois Residents See reciprocal agreement. Military Spouses See Tax Responsibilities of Servicemembers and their Spouses Married Separate Filers: Married taxpayers filing married filing separately must use the combined income of both spouses in determining eligibility for exemption from tax. If either spouse has a net operating loss that is carried forward, then the other spouse cannot use the low income exemption. If the spouse with the net operating loss chooses not to carry the loss forward, then the other can claim the low income exemption. A statement must be included with the return saying that the spouse with the net operating loss will not carry it forward.

# Step 5 Iowa Tax

Line: 5 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions Iowa tax or alternate tax Iowa now has a flat tax rate of 3.8%. Alternate tax calculation: You may owe less tax by completing the worksheet below. All filing statuses except filing status 1, Single, may qualify for the Iowa alternate tax computation. Single taxpayers may be eligible for the Iowa income tax reduction; see Iowa Income Tax Reduction Worksheet. The most common taxpayers who benefit from the alternate tax calculation are individuals who claim a head of household filing status, are age 65 and older, and have a filing requirement. If you are using alternate tax calculation on IA 1040 in lieu of the tax rate calculation, check the box in IA 1040, Step 5. Special instructions for filing status 3, Married filing separately: ● The combined Iowa taxable incomes of both spouses must be used. ● The alternate tax between spouses must be prorated in the ratio of the Iowa taxable income of each spouse to the combined Iowa taxable income of both spouses using lines 7-11. ● If you are married filing separately and one spouse has a net operating loss that will be carried forward, then you cannot use the alternate tax computation. If the spouse with the net operating loss elects not to carry the net operating loss forward, then you can use the alternate tax computation. ● If you do not provide the other spouse's income on the IA 1040, Step 2, you will not be allowed to use the alternate tax calculation.

# Iowa Lump-Sum Tax

Line: 6 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions A lump-sum distribution occurs when, in one tax year, you receive the total balance from a pension or profit-sharing plan of an employer due to termination of employment, termination of the plan, or death of the employee. Iowa lump-sum tax applies only if federal form 4972 was used to compute the federal tax on any portion of the lump-sum distribution. If there is no federal lump-sum tax, then there is no Iowa lump-sum tax. NOTE: A lump-sum amount received from a governmental or other pension or retirement plan, including defined benefit or defined contribution plans, annuities, individual retirement accounts, plans maintained or contributed to by an employer, or maintained or contributed to by a self-employed person as an employer, and deferred compensation plans or any earnings attributable to a deferred compensation plan is not subject to Iowa lump-sum tax if the recipient is disabled, fifty-five years of age or older, or is the surviving spouse of an individual or is a survivor having an insurable interest in an individual who would have qualified. Iowa Residents: Enter 25% of the federal tax from federal form 4972 on the IA 1040, line 6. Include federal form 4972. Part-Year Residents: If a lump-sum distribution reported on federal form 4972 was received while an Iowa resident, 25% of the federal tax from form 4972 must be entered on IA 1040, line 6. Part-year residents who receive a lump-sum distribution while not an Iowa resident are not subject to Iowa lump-sum tax on that distribution. A copy of the federal form 4972 must be included. Nonresidents: Nonresidents receiving lump-sum distributions are not subject to Iowa lump-sum tax. Married Separate Filers: Lump-sum tax is reported by the spouse who received the distribution.

Total Tax Line: 7 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions Add lines 5 and 6. Taxpayers who had a distressed sale in 2025 and have included the gain in Iowa taxable income may be eligible to limit their tax to their net worth immediately prior to the distressed sale. If you qualify, limit the amount on line 7 to your net worth before the distressed sale and include an IA 6251B Balance Sheet or Statement of Net Worth (41-135). Total Exemption Credit Line: 8 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions Enter the total exemption credit amount from IA 1040, Step 3, line d. Tuition and Textbook Credit (K-12 Only) Line: 9 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions Taxpayers who have one or more dependents receiving private instruction in Iowa, as defined in section 422.12 (also referred to as homeschooling), or attending kindergarten through 12th grade in an accredited Iowa school (under section 256.11, not operated for a profit, and adheres to the provisions of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964) may take a credit for each dependent for amounts paid for tuition and textbooks. NOTE: Purchases made from Students First Educational Savings Account (ESA) funds authorized under Iowa Code section 257.11B are not eligible for the tuition and textbook credit. The credit amount is 25% of the first $2,000 of qualifying expenses paid for each dependent's tuition and textbooks. In the case of divorced or separated parents, only the spouse claiming the dependent can claim the amounts paid by that spouse for that dependent's tuition and textbooks. Qualifying expenses paid with 529 account distributions may qualify for the tuition and textbook credit. Calculating the Credit Calculate the proper amount of expenses per dependent, not to exceed $2,000, and multiply the amount by 25% (.25). Keep records of your calculation, showing the name of each dependent, school(s) attended or qualifications for private instruction, and an itemized list of qualifying expenses. Enter the total allowable credit on IA 1040, line 9. Example: Students Karlee and Kurt have qualifying expenses of $2,400 and $1,700 respectively. Their parents can take a credit of $500 (25% of $2,000 maximum) for Karlee and $425 (25% of $1,700) for Kurt, for a total credit of $925. Example: Student Stephen received Students First ESA funds of $7,635 in tax year 2025. Stephen's parents paid total tuition to an accredited private school in Iowa of $9,000 for the tax year. They cannot claim a credit for

the $7,635 in tuition expenses paid with ESA funds. They may claim a credit of $341.25 (25% of $1,365) for the $1,365 in out-of-pocket tuition expenses.

Tax Reduction Single taxpayers, who are not claimed as a dependent on another person's Iowa tax return, may owe less tax by using the Income Tax Reduction Worksheet (41-146). Credit for Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Line: 13 Step: 5 Step Subject: Tax, Non-refundable Credits, and Check-off Contributions Nonresidents or Part-Year Residents: A nonresident or part-year resident of Iowa must complete the IA 1040, lines 1 through 12 prior to completing the IA 126. The nonresident or part-year resident then completes a Schedule IA 126. On the IA 126, only Iowa income is reported and a percentage of Iowa income to total income is determined. The taxpayer receives a credit against the initial tax liability based on the percentage of income from outside Iowa. Therefore, the result of this credit is that only Iowa-source income is taxed. NOTE: The Iowa income percentage is rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a percent in accordance with Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-304.5. The final credit from this form is used to reduce the total tax on your IA 1040. Although non-Iowa income is used to calculate the initial tax liability, the non-Iowa income itself is not subject to tax. By using this method, Iowa taxes the Iowa-source income of nonresidents and part-year residents at the same rate it taxes Iowa residents. Enter the amount of your nonresident or part-year resident tax credit from Schedule IA 126, line 34. A copy of Schedule IA 126 and a copy of your federal return must be included.

General instructions for completing the IA 126: Part-Year Iowa Residents: Iowa-source net income includes all income received while living in Iowa plus any Iowa-source income received while a nonresident. Part-Year Resident Example: Michael lived and worked in Iowa the first six months of the tax year. In addition to Michael's wages, Michael received interest income from an Iowa bank. Michael then permanently moved to Missouri, where Michael was employed for the rest of the year. Michael continued to receive interest income from the Iowa bank. Michael's IA 1040, line 1, will report all of the income from both states as all-source income. On the IA 126, Michael will report the wages and interest income earned while an Iowa resident as Iowa-source income. The interest income earned the last half of the year is not considered Iowa-source income since Michael was no longer an Iowa resident. Nonresidents: Iowa-source net income will include all income from Iowa sources. Complete IA 126, lines 1 through 13 using only income from Iowa sources. Nonresident Example 1: Nick is a resident of Nebraska and works in Iowa. Nick's income includes wages earned in Iowa and interest income from a Nebraska bank. Nick will report the wages and interest on the IA 1040 as all-source income. Nick will list only the Iowa wages on the IA 126 as Iowa-source income. Iowa has a reciprocal agreement with Illinois, which means that wages and salaries are taxed by the individual's state of residence. All income received from other Iowa sources (gambling, unemployment, etc.) is taxable to Iowa regardless of the person's state of residence. Nonresident Example 2: Tiana is a resident of Illinois. Tiana earned $25,000 in wages from Iowa and won $5,000 at an Iowa casino. Tiana will report income from all sources on the IA 1040. Only the gambling winnings will be reported on the IA 126 as Tiana's Iowa-source income. Full-Year Residents (married jointly filers check the corresponding box if one spouse is a full-year Iowa resident) For married taxpayers, if one spouse is a full year Iowa resident, the full year Iowa resident must include all of that spouse's income from the IA 1040. Married Separate Filers: Divide your Iowa income between spouses using the instructions on each line of the IA 126 below for married separate filers. Reporting Modifications to Iowa Source Income If any income claimed on lines 1-12 are modified by any amounts claimed on IA 1040, Schedule 1, lines 1-11, net out those modifications directly on each applicable line. (Example: if you have Iowa-source wages of $50,000 but all wages were active duty military pay, and you claimed the active duty military pay modification on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 6; enter $0 on IA 126, line 1). An exception would be K-1 Modifications listed on IA Schedule 1, line 3. See line 12 instructions for more information. 1. Wages, Salaries, Tips, etc. Part-year residents: Include all W-2 income earned or received while an Iowa resident, even if it was earned in another state, and any income for services performed in Iowa while a nonresident of the state. If it was earned

in another state, you may also need to fill out the IA 130 if you pay tax to the other state. You will need to check with that state for their filing requirements. Nonresidents: Report only Iowa-source income. If the portion of employee compensation earned in Iowa by a nonresident is not reported separately, allocate the compensation based upon the number of days worked in Iowa to total work days. Nonresidents who earned compensation in Iowa and one or more other states for a railway company, an airline company, a merchant marine company, or an interstate motor carrier are only subject to income tax on that income in their state of residence and should not include these wages on line 1. 2.

A sale of goods is considered an Iowa sale if goods are delivered or shipped to a point within the state regardless of Freight on Board (F.O.B.) point. A sale of a service is considered an Iowa sale if the recipient of the service receives the benefit of the service in Iowa. 6. Capital Gain or (Loss) Part-year residents: Include 100% of the capital gain or loss from assets sold while an Iowa resident.

Enter the income tax actually shown due and paid by you as calculated from the tax formula/tables on the other state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country's tax return you filed, less any nonrefundable credits, and less any refundable credit provided to you for entity-level taxes paid by a pass-through entity (see example for line 21 below). This is not the amount withheld from your wages or paid as estimated income tax payments, and does not include taxes deemed to be paid to another jurisdiction for purposes of computing the federal foreign tax credit on your federal form 1116. Caution: Do not include on this line any income tax paid on any income from an S corporation if you are claiming an IA 134 S Corporation Apportionment Tax Credit for that S corporation. 21. Enter the income tax imposed by the other state or jurisdiction and paid by your pass-through entity or mutual fund on income included on line 13. If your distributive share of income from a pass-through entity was taxed by another state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country but reported on a composite return, or if a pass-through entity was subject to an entity-level income tax in another state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country on your

distributive share of income also taxed by Iowa, your pro-rata share of this income tax will be identified on a schedule provided to you by your pass-through entity. Enter your reported pro-rata share of the income tax on this line. This will be your pro-rata share of the income tax actually shown due and paid by the pass-through entity as calculated from the tax formula/tables on the other state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country's tax return filed by the pass-through entity, less any nonrefundable credits. This is not the amount withheld or paid as estimated income tax payments. However, if you receive a refundable tax credit in the other state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country for all or part of the entity-level income tax paid by a pass-through entity, the amount of the refund attributable to that refundable credit reduces the income tax paid by the pass-through entity. Example: Individual B, a 50% owner of Partnership P doing business in State Z, receives a statement from Partnership P showing that P paid $500 of entity-level income tax to State Z, and B's pro-rata share of that income tax is $250. B also received a $250 refundable tax credit from State Z for B's share of the entity-level income tax paid by partnership P . B files an income tax return in State Z to report their pro-rata share of income from Partnership P and calculates tentative income tax of $200. B applies their $250 refundable tax credit against that tentative income tax, resulting in an income tax liability of $0 and a refund of $50. Therefore, B enters $0 on IA 130, line 20, and must also reduce their pro-rata share of the entity-level income tax paid by partnership P by $50 as reported on line 21. B enters $200 ($250 - $50) on line 21. If you do not receive a schedule from your pass-through entity reporting your pro-rata share of composite return or entity-level income taxes paid to the other state, local jurisdiction outside of Iowa, or foreign country, you are not eligible to claim the Iowa Out-of-State Tax Credit. Include a copy of that schedule with your IA 1040. If your mutual fund or other regulated investment company paid foreign income tax and passed the amount through to you, your share of this income will be identified on the Form 1099-DIV or similar statement provided to you. If you do not receive such a form or statement, you are not eligible to claim the Iowa Out-of-State Tax Credit. Caution: Do not include on this line any income tax paid by an S corporation, or reported to you by an S corporation, if you are claiming an IA 134 S Corporation Apportionment Tax Credit for that S corporation. 22. Enter the sum of lines 20 and 21 Full-Year Residents (part-year residents skip) 23. Enter the smaller of lines 19 or 22 and enter this amount on IA 1040, line 15.

Enter the smaller of lines 19 or 26 and enter this amount on IA 1040, line 15. This is your Out-of-State Tax Credit.

The lease or rental agreement may be terminated by either the taxpayer or the beginning farmer. If the Iowa Agricultural Development Division determines that the taxpayer is not at fault for the termination, the Division will not issue a tax credit certificate for subsequent years, but any prior tax credit certificates issued will be allowed. If the Division determines that the taxpayer is at fault for the termination, any prior tax credit certificates issued will be disallowed, and the tax credits can be recaptured by the Department of Revenue.

Adoption Tax Credit An Adoption Tax Credit is available for individual income tax equal to the first $5,000 of unreimbursed expenses related to an adoption per child placed in Iowa. There is no limit on the amount of income earned by an individual to be eligible for the credit. All claims for the adoption of a child cannot exceed the applicable limit based on the year the adoption became final. The Adoption Tax Credit can only be claimed once the adoption has been finalized. Beginning in tax year 2019, all qualifying adoption expenses paid in or before the year the adoption is finalized must be claimed in the tax year the adoption is finalized, up to the credit limit, regardless of the prior year in which the expenses were paid. EXAMPLE: Taylor and Jordan are married. Taylor and Jordan adopt a child who is permanently placed in Iowa. The adoption process begins in 2020 and becomes final in 2023. Because the adoption becomes final on or after January 1, 2017, Taylor and Jordan qualify for a credit up to the maximum amount of $5,000. Additionally, because the adoption becomes final on or after January 1, 2019, Taylor and Jordan may claim an Iowa adoption tax credit for unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses paid or incurred prior to or in the year the adoption becomes final. Taylor and Jordan incur and pay unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses of $5,000 in 2020, $10,000 in 2021, $2,000 in 2022, and $2,000 in 2023. Taylor and Jordan jointly file their Iowa individual income tax return in 2023. Taylor and Jordan may claim an Iowa adoption tax credit of $5,000 on their 2023 Iowa income tax return. Taylor and Jordan are not allowed to amend a prior year return in an attempt to claim the credit for unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses paid or incurred prior to the tax year in which the adoption became final. If additional qualifying expenses are paid after the year the adoption is finalized, and your previous expenses are under the credit limit, those expenses must be claimed in the year they were paid, up to the credit limit. EXAMPLE: Jason and Tammy are married. Jason and Tammy adopt a child who is permanently placed in Iowa. The adoption process begins in 2021 and becomes final in 2022. Because the adoption becomes final on or after January 1, 2022, Jason and Tammy qualify for a credit up to the maximum amount of $5,000. Jason and Tammy incur and pay unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses of $1,000 in 2021, and $1,000 in 2022. Jason and Tammy jointly file their Iowa individual income tax return in 2022. Jason and Tammy may claim the Iowa adoption tax credit in 2022 in the amount of $2,000. In 2023, Jason and Tammy incur and pay $5,000 in unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses in connection to the adoption finalized in 2022. Jason and Tammy

may claim the remaining $3,000 credit on their jointly filed Iowa individual income tax return for 2023 for unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses incurred and paid in 2023. Jason and Tammy shall not amend their 2022 return to reflect the additional unreimbursed qualified adoption expenses from 2023. A part-year resident of Iowa may claim the credit if they were a resident of Iowa at the time the child was permanently placed. The IA 177 is used to compute the credit and must be included with the Iowa income tax return. The tax credit must also be reported on the IA 148 Tax Credit Schedule using tax credit code 66. If multiple children are adopted in a tax year, complete a separate IA 177 for each Adoption Tax Credit and report each claim on a separate line on the IA 148. Any tax credit in excess of tax liability is refundable. The adoption tax credit may only be claimed by a person who adopted the child. When a married couple adopts a child together and the couple files jointly on the same return, the credit may only be claimed once between the couple. When any other two persons adopt a child together, including married persons filing separately or any unmarried persons filing on separate returns, the credit must be divided between the adoptive parents. Two adoptive parents, other than persons who are married filing jointly, may agree to divide the credit in any way. The total adoption tax credit claimed for all years by both parents combined may not exceed the applicable limit based on the year the adoption became final. Iowa Code section 422.12A Angel Investor Tax Credit An Angel Investor Tax Credit, formerly known as Venture Capital Qualifying Business Tax Credit, equals 25% of the equity investment made by "angel investors" in a qualifying business approved by the Iowa Economic Development Authority. The credit is refundable when claimed against the individual income tax. When the tax credit is awarded, the taxpayer receives a tax credit certificate number that must be reported on the IA 148 Tax Credits Schedule when the refundable tax credit is claimed using tax credit code 68. This tax credit is repealed and no more tax credits will be awarded after June 30, 2026. Taxpayers are still able to claim tax credits awarded before this date for the applicable tax years. Iowa Code sections 15E.43 and 422.11F Biodiesel Blended Fuel Tax Credit A retail dealer of diesel fuel who sells B5 or higher blends of biodiesel during the tax year at a retail motor fuel site can claim a Biodiesel Blended Fuel Tax Credit. B5 or higher blends are biodiesel blended fuels with a biodiesel content of 5% and higher by volume. Tank wagons are considered retail motor fuel sites. For fuel sold on or after January 1, 2023, the tax credit equals 5 cents per gallon with a blend between 11% and 19% biodiesel and 7 cents per gallon with a blend of 20% biodiesel. The IA 8864 is used to compute the credit or report and must be included with the Iowa income tax return. The Biodiesel Blended Fuel Tax Credit must be reported on the IA 148 Tax Credits Schedule using tax credit code 52. Any tax credit in excess of tax liability is refundable. If the tax credit is earned by a partnership, limited liability company, S corporation, estate, or trust, the tax credit shall be claimed by the individual based on the pro rata share of the income of the entity. Taxpayers receiving the credit from a pass-through entity should report the credit on the IA 8864, line 8 and on the IA 148 Tax Credit Schedule. The credit is repealed on January 1, 2028.

Iowa Code sections 15.502 through 15.511 Claim of Right Tax Credit A Claim of Right Tax Credit may be claimed by a taxpayer who repaid income during the 2025 tax year that was reported and taxed on a prior Iowa income tax return. To calculate the credit, recompute tax liability in the prior tax year excluding the repaid income. The Claim of Right Tax Credit equals the calculated reduction in tax liability in that prior year. However, it may be more advantageous to report the amount of repaid income as an income adjustment on Schedule 1, line 19. You may claim either the Claim of Right Tax Credit or take a deduction of the amount repaid on Schedule 1, line 19, but not both. Example of Claim of Right Tax Credit: A taxpayer received a $5,000 bonus in 2023 and reported it on the 2023 Iowa return. In 2025, the taxpayer's employer advised that the bonus was awarded in error and was to be repaid. The bonus was repaid by the end of 2025. After recomputing the 2023 Iowa return, there is a $440 reduction in tax. The taxpayer may claim a credit of $440 on the 2025 IA 1040, line 26 or apply an income deduction of $5,000 on Schedule 1, line 19. The Claim of Right Tax Credit must be reported on the IA 148 Tax Credits Schedule using tax credit code 53. Any tax credit in excess of the tax liability is refundable. Iowa Code section 422.5(11) E15 Plus Gasoline Promotion Tax Credit A retail dealer of gasoline who sells E15 plus gasoline during the tax year at a retail motor fuel site can claim an E15 Plus Gasoline Promotion Tax Credit.

Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Tax Line: 35 Step: 8 Step Subject: Amount Due If you are required to make estimated tax payments but fail to make payments, you may be subject to a penalty in addition to any tax you may owe. The penalty is determined in the same way as for federal purposes. Consequently, you must include your Iowa income and lump-sum taxes when calculating the penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Taxpayers who do not have Iowa tax withheld from their paychecks must pay Iowa tax on their income by making Iowa estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis. If you are subject to this penalty, complete IA 2210 and enter the penalty on this line. Include a copy of the IA 2210 with your tax return. If you use the farmer/fisher or annualized method of computing the penalty, check the box on line 35 and include a copy of your IA 2210F (for farmers and commercial fishers) or IA 2210 Schedule AI (Annualized

Income Installment Method) with your tax return. If at least two-thirds of your income is from farming or commercial fishing, you may avoid penalty for underpayment of estimated tax in one of the following ways: 1. Pay the estimated tax in one payment on or before January 15, 2026, and file the Iowa income tax return by April 30, 2026, or 2. File the Iowa income tax return and pay the tax due in full on or before March 1, 2026. An IA 2210F is required to be filed with the Iowa income tax return. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as defined in Iowa Code section 421.9A, then the due date is the following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. If you are due a refund, subtract the penalty amount from the overpayment you show on line 31 or line 32. If the subtraction results in an amount due, include the amount due on line 37. Individuals who expect to owe Iowa income tax of $200 ($1,000 for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026) or more for the tax year from income not subject to Iowa withholding tax must make quarterly estimated tax payments. These payments may be made online at govconnect.iowa.gov after setting up an account or by mail with an Individual Income Voucher. Learn About the IA 2210 Form The IA 2210 penalty is calculated as a per day interest charge based upon the number of days that an estimated income tax payment is made after the required due date. The first 8 lines of the 2210 form determine how much tax the taxpayer should have paid. Lines 9 through 16 are now used for the optional short method of calculating underpayment penalty The second part of the 2210 form determines what the penalty, if any, is on the tax that was not paid. Penalty is determined on a quarterly basis. The IA 2210 is used to determine if an individual taxpayer paid income tax sufficiently throughout the year. This form is used to calculate any penalty due. You may use the optional short method (lines 9 through 16) for the 2210 penalty if: ● You did not make any estimated payments, or ● You paid the same amount of estimated tax on each of the four payment due dates. You must use the regular method (lines 17 through 26) to calculate your 2210 penalty if: ● You made any estimated tax payments late, ● You choose to annualize your income for 2210 penalty calculations. NOTE: If any payment was made earlier than the due date for that payment, you may use the short method, but using it may cause you to pay a larger penalty than the regular method. If the payment was only a few days early, the difference is likely to be small. To find out if you owe 2210 penalty, complete the IA 1040 through line 34 then complete the IA 2210. You will need the amount of tax you paid Iowa in 2024 in addition to completing the 2025 Iowa return. Estimated Payments If you file returns on a calendar-year basis and are required to file form IA 1040ES, you are generally required to pay the tax in four installments with the first installment due by April 30. If you file returns on a fiscal-year basis and are required to make estimated income tax payments, you are generally required to pay the tax in four installments with the first installment due the last day of the fourth month after the filing year ends.

You may benefit by using the IA 2210 Schedule AI Annualized Income Installment Method if your income varied during the year. Calendar-Year Taxpayers: If you are not required to file estimated payments until later in the year because of a change in your income or exemptions, you may be required to pay in fewer installments. IA 2210 Schedule AI Information Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Credit: Must be computed on the IA 126 for each period as follows: 1. Figure the Iowa-source gross income less any adjustments for the period. Multiply this income figure by the number for the corresponding period on Schedule AI, line 2 and enter on the IA 126, line 27. 2. Enter the amount from Schedule AI, line 3 on the IA 126, line 28. 3. Calculate the Iowa income percentage and the nonresident/part-year resident credit percentage on the IA 126, lines 29 and 30. 4. Enter the tax amount for the period from Schedule AI, line 4 on the IA 126, line 31. 5. Add the credits from Schedule AI, lines 7 and 8 that represent IA 1040, lines 8, 9, and 10. Enter this figure on form IA 126, line 32. 6. Compute the nonresident/part-year resident credit by subtracting the credits on IA 126, line 32 from the tax on IA 126, line 31. Multiply this amount by the percentage on line 30. Enter this number on Iowa Schedule AI, line 8. Out-of-State Tax Credit form IA 130 must be computed for each period: The gross income taxed by the other state/country, IA 130, line 13, must be annualized by multiplying by the annualization factor for the period. The gross income for residents, IA 130, line 16, is the amount on Iowa Schedule AI, line 3, (if a part-year resident, the amount is taken from IA 126, line 13) for the period. The tax, IA 130, line 18, is the amount on Iowa Schedule AI, line 4 for the period. The total tax imposed by the other state/country must be multiplied by a ratio of gross income taxed by the other state/country for the period to total gross income taxed by the other state/country. Example: Fred, a full-year resident, had $100,000 of income taxed by another state. The other state's tax imposed was $4,000 for the year. For the period 1/1/24 to 3/31/24, the income taxed by the other state was $25,000. The computation for the tax imposed for the period 1/1/24 to 3/31/24 is ($4,000 times the annualization factor of 4.0 X 25,000/100,000). Please include a worksheet or tax form showing the calculations for each credit claimed on line 8. Estimated / Installment Payment Periods and Due Dates The chart below shows the due date for the calendar year filers installments and the maximum number of installments required for each. More installments than required may be made in each period. Period Requirement First Met Installment is Due Maximum Number of Installments Required During the Year Between January 1 and April 1 April 30 4 Between April 2 and June 1 June 30 3 Between June 2 and September 1 September 30 2 After September 1 January 31 1 If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as defined in Iowa Code section 421.9A, then the due date is the following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.

Fiscal-year filers: If you file returns on a fiscal-year basis and are required to make estimated income tax payments, you are generally required to pay the tax in four installments with the first installment due the last day of the fourth month after the filing year ends. Subsequent installment due dates would fall on the last day of the sixth month, last day of the ninth month, and last day of the first month of the next fiscal year Basic IA 2210 Calculation Criteria ● Installment period due dates are important. When a due date is missed, penalty applies in most cases. ● Payments are first carried back to any prior period with an underpayment. ● Any overpayments are carried forward to the next period. ● Any credit carryforward from the prior year is applied to the April 30 installment. ● There may be more than one penalty calculation for an installment period if more than one payment was made in that period. ● Iowa tax withholding is credited equally in each installment period. Learn About the IA 2210 Form The first 13 lines of the 2210 form determine how much tax the taxpayer should have paid. The second part of the 2210 form determines what the penalty, if any, is on the tax that was not paid. Penalty is determined on a quarterly basis. IA 2210 Optional Short Method Example 1 An individual taxpayer did not make any estimated payments of Iowa income tax throughout the year. The taxpayer paid $4,000 when filing the tax return on April 30. Results: The taxpayer should have paid $1,000 each quarter, for a total of $4,000 for the entire year. This taxpayer owes 2210 penalty. IA 2210 Optional Short Method Example 2 An individual taxpayer made four estimated payments of Iowa income tax for a total of $4,000. Although the full amount was eventually paid, some payments were not timely. Results: This taxpayer owes 2210 penalty. Why? It matters when the payments are made. If they are not timely, penalty is due. First installment period (due April 30): No payment was made by April 30; therefore, the taxpayer has a $1,000 underpayment and will be assessed a penalty. ● The first payment of the year ($500) was made June 15. The second ($2,000) was two weeks later on June 30 ● The underpayment is paid by applying the $500 paid June 15 and $500 of the $2,000 paid June 30 ● The $500 paid June 15 has a penalty for 46 days (May 1 - June 15). The $500 paid June 30 has a penalty for 61 days (May 1 - June 30) Second installment period (due June 30): No penalty is charged for this period. ● The taxpayer had $1,500 remaining from the $2,000 paid June 30 to apply to this period. ● Of the remaining $1,500, $500 is carried forward to the next installment. Third installment period (due September 30): Penalty is charged for this period. $500 of the June 30 payment carried over to this period; therefore, the taxpayer still owes $500 for this period. ● The taxpayer's third payment of $500 is made January 31, too late for the third period. This amount is applied to the third period. ● Penalty on this $500 is for 92 days for the October 1 - December 31 quarter AND 31 days for Jan 1-31.

Fourth installment period (due January 31): Since the taxpayer's January 31 payment applied to the third installment, penalty is due on $1,000. ● The $1,000 payment made February 25, is applied to this period's underpayment. ● Penalty on the $1,000 is for 25 days for February 1 - February 25. IA 2210SOptional Short Method Example 1 An individual taxpayer did not make any estimated payments of Iowa income tax throughout the year. Results: The taxpayer should have paid $1,000 each quarter, for a total of $4,000 for the entire year. This taxpayer owes 2210 penalty. IA 2210S Optional Short Method Example 2 An individual's tax liability determined on the IA 1040 was $4,000. The individual made four estimated payments of Iowa income tax during the year in the amount of $500 each, for a total of $2,000. Payment of the remaining $2,000 due was made on April 15. Results: All payments were made on time, but the taxpayer should have made a total of $4,000 in estimated payments of Iowa income tax. This taxpayer owes 2210 penalty.

# Penalty and Interest

Line: 36 Step: 8 Step Subject: Amount Due Enter the penalty on line 36a, the interest on line 36b, and the total on line 36. 36a. Penalty 5% Penalty for Failure to Timely File a Return: If you do not file your return by the due date and you paid less than 90% of the correct tax, you owe an additional 5% of the unpaid tax. 5% Penalty for Failure to Timely Pay the Tax Due: If you file your return on time but paid less than 90% of the correct tax due, you owe an additional 5% of the unpaid tax. Taxpayers may be subject to both the 5% failure to timely file penalty and the 5% failure to timely pay penalty. If 90% of the correct tax due is paid by the due date, then no penalty is due. To determine if 90% was paid, multiply IA 1040, line 20 by 90% (.90). If the result is equal to or less than the amount on the IA 1040, line 30, plus any payment made with a return filed by the due date, 90% (.90) of the tax has been paid timely and no penalty is due. Other penalties that may be assessed: 5% Penalty for audit or examination deficiency: If the Department discovers an underpayment during an audit or examination, a penalty of 5% will be added to the unpaid tax. $1,000 Penalty for Failure to File after Demand A $1,000 penalty is assessed when a taxpayer continues to fail to file 90 days after the Department issues a demand letter. A separate penalty will be assessed for each unfiled return listed in the demand letter. This penalty is in addition to the failure to file penalties listed above.

75% Penalty for fraud or frivolous tax return filings or willful failure to file a return: A person who willfully intends to make a false or frivolous tax return to claim a refund, or to evade tax is guilty of fraud. A penalty of 75% of the refund claimed will be due. This penalty cannot be waived. $500 Civil Penalty: A $500 civil penalty is assessed when a return is considered to be a "frivolous return." A "frivolous return" is a return that lacks sufficient information to determine the substantial correctness of the amount of tax liability or contains information that indicates the amount of tax shown is substantially incorrect and this conduct is due to a position of law taken that is frivolous or a desire to delay or impede the administration of the tax laws of Iowa. Waivers: Penalties can be waived under limited circumstances, as described in Iowa Code section 421.27. Complete and submit a Penalty Waiver Request form (78-629) to request a penalty be waived. 36b. Interest Interest must be added to delinquent tax. Interest is added at a rate of 0.8% per month after the due date of the return (April 30) and accrues each month until paid in full. Part of a month constitutes a whole month, so if you pay the tax on June 3, you are late for May and June. Total Amount Due Line: 37 Step: 8 Step Subject: Amount Due Add lines 34, 35, and 36 and enter the total on line 37. Do not fill in lines 32a, 32b, or 32c if you have an amount due.

Line 14: Iowa 529 or Iowa Advisor 529 College Savings Plan (Contributions) If you or your spouse participate in the Iowa 529 Plan College Savings Plan or the Iowa Advisor 529 Plan, each may deduct an amount contributed not to exceed $5,800 per beneficiary. This deduction is only available for contributions to Iowa 529 plans. You must be the "participant" in the Iowa 529 plan in order to deduct your contributions. If you are not the "participant" in the Iowa 529 plan, you may not deduct your contributions to that plan. Example: Adam and Tara have 2 children; Charlie and Ruth. Adam opens two 529 accounts - one for Charlie and one for Ruth. Tara also opens two 529 accounts one for Charlie and one for Ruth. Both Adam and Tara can

take up to $5,800 per child's account. Adam and Tara each are eligible for a deduction of up to $11,600. Adam and Tara's total potential deduction amount is $23,200. Only contributions to these two Iowa 529 plans qualify for a deduction on the Iowa return; however, a rollover from another state's 529 plan to one of the Iowa plans qualifies toward the deduction for Iowa income tax. If you received a refund of any qualified higher education expenses from an eligible educational institution and recontributed the refund amount consistent with Iowa Code section 422.7(22)(c)(1)(f)(i), you may not deduct the recontribution amount when calculating your Iowa taxable income and the recontribution amount will not be considered when determining whether you have met the annual deduction cap. Individuals making a contribution on or before the Iowa income tax return filing deadline (April 30 for calendar year tax filers), excluding extensions, can elect to have that contribution treated as though it was made on the last day of the preceding calendar year, which allows them to claim the income tax deduction for the most recently completed tax year.

# Line 15: Health Insurance Deduction

For taxpayers who are 65 years of age or older and whose Iowa taxable income is less than $100,000, enter 100% of the amount paid for health and dental insurance premiums paid with post-tax funds. Typically, employer health insurance premiums are paid on a pre-tax-basis when they are deducted from wages and are not considered post-tax; and thus, they would not be included as a deduction on this line. Do not include any amount of health insurance that was used as a deduction in the computation of federal taxable income, this includes amounts reported on federal 1040, Schedule A, line 4, and federal 1040, Schedule 1, Part II, line 17. Enter 100% of the amount paid for: ● health insurance premiums paid with post-tax dollars ● supplemental health insurance, such as: ○ Medicare B supplemental medical insurance ○ Medicare D voluntary prescription drug insurance ● dental insurance premiums paid with post-tax dollars ● long-term nursing home coverage premiums paid with post-tax dollars regardless of age Do NOT include: ● "Medicare tax withheld" on your W-2 ● premiums paid with pre-tax dollars ● premiums which are later reimbursed, in the same tax year The $100,000 taxable income limitation is calculated without regard to filing status, meaning that a single taxpayer, a married taxpayer filing separately, and a couple that files married filing jointly will all have a $100,000 taxable income limitation. Health Insurance reported on federal Schedule A, line 1 Qualifying taxpayers who reported medical and dental expenses on federal Schedule A, line 1, may deduct, subject to the income limitation, a portion of the health insurance which was not allowed as a deduction to arrive at federal taxable income. The taxpayer should use a ratio of health insurance premiums to total medical expenses included in Federal Schedule A and apply that ratio to the amount not allowed to be deducted for federal taxable income. Example: Taxpayer T reports the following medical expenses of $10,000 on Federal Schedule A, line 1, the breakdown of the expenses is as follows: ● Doctor bills: $2,000 ● Health insurance premiums: $8,000

Federal Schedule A line 3, reports a 7.5% adjusted gross income limitation of $1,950. This would represent the amount of medical expenses which were not allowed in the calculation of federal taxable income. Federal Schedule A, line 4, reports $8,050 of allowed medical and dental expenses. This represents the amount of medical expenses which were allowed in the calculation of federal taxable income. Assuming the $100,000 income limitation is not exceeded, Taxpayer T could include a portion of the health insurance which was not allowed in the calculation of federal taxable income as an Iowa health insurance deduction. The allowed portion would be calculated as follows: Disallowed portion of medical expenses x the health insurance portion of medical expenses/total medical expenses reported on federal Schedule A, line 1. In this example the deduction would be: $1,560 which is $1,950 x ($8,000/$10,000) $1,950 (disallowed portion of medical expenses) x $8,000 (health insurance premiums) / $10,000 (total medical expenses claimed on federal Schedule A, line 1) = $1,560 To calculate taxable income for purposes of this deduction, use the following calculation: Health Insurance Taxable Income Worksheet 1. Report the amount of Iowa taxable income reported on IA 1040, line 4. 1. _____________ 2. Report the following adjustments, if applicable: a. Federal itemized or standard deduction to the extent it does not exceed federal adjusted gross income 2a. _____________ b. Federal personal exemption deduction 2b. _____________ c. Federal Qualifying Business Income Deduction 2c. _____________ d. Social Security income reported on federal 1040, line 6b 2d. _____________ e. Pensions or other retirement income received from a source that is not taxable in Iowa, reported on IA 1040, Schedule 1, lines 4 and 7 2e. _____________ f. Health insurance deduction reported IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 15. 2f. _____________ g. Total of lines 2a through 2f. 2g. _____________ 3. Add line 2g to line 1 3. _____________ If line 3 is less than $100,000 and you are age 65 or older you are eligible to deduct health and dental insurance paid with post-tax funds. If line 3 is $100,000 or more you are NOT eligible to deduct health and dental insurance, IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 15 should be changed to zero. The deduction must be reduced by the amount of any premium reimbursement from Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). Federal Health Insurance Credits Any Excess Advance Premium Tax Credit repayment from the 2024 federal form 1040, Schedule 2, line 1a may be entered on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 15 in the year paid for taxpayers who are eligible to claim an Iowa health insurance deduction. Any repayment calculated on your 2025 federal return cannot be included on the 2025 IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 15. The Net Premium Tax Credit from the 2025 federal form 1040, Schedule 3, line 9 may be reportable as Other Income on the 2026 IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 11. The federal Net Premium Tax Credit is reportable income to the extent this credit was a reimbursement for health insurance premiums deducted from Iowa income in a prior year.

If the deduction is taken on the IA 1040, Schedule A (For tax years prior to 2023), then the federal tax guidance should be followed when addressing the complications due to the impact of the Federal Excess Advance Premium Tax Credit repayment and the Net Premium Tax Credit. Households Where One Spouse is Age 65 or Older Assuming the taxpayer's income is below the income limit, a taxpayer age 65 or older may deduct the cost of health benefits coverage or insurance which covers the taxpayer's spouse or a dependent. If the spouse who is under the age of 65 or dependent pays for the health coverage the expense would not qualify for the deduction. Married Separate Filers: If both spouses have self-employment income, the deduction for self-employed health insurance must be allocated between the spouses in the ratio of each spouse's self-employment income to the total self-employment income of both spouses. If health insurance premiums are paid directly by one spouse, that spouse will claim the entire deduction. If both spouses paid through a joint checking account, the deduction is allocated between the spouses in the ratio of each spouse's Iowa taxable income to the total Iowa taxable income of both spouses. For this Iowa taxable income calculation, do not include the health insurance deduction. If one spouse is employed and has post-tax health insurance premiums paid through wages, that spouse will claim the entire deduction. If both spouses pay post-tax health insurance premiums through their wages, each spouse will claim what each spouse paid.

# Line 16: Capital Gains Deduction

You must complete and include the applicable IA 100 with your return to claim the Iowa capital gain deduction. In addition to the instructions and guidance found in the applicable IA 100, flowcharts to assist in determining if a gain qualifies can be found on the Department's website. Married Separate Filers: Divide the capital gain deduction based on ownership of the asset. ● Jointly held: Divide equally between spouses. ● If other than jointly held: Divide between spouses based on percentage of ownership. Each spouse must file a separate form of the applicable IA 100.

A person can be a resident of only one state at any given time. Usually, it is clear which state that is. Normally, it is the state in which one lives and works. Occasionally, however, the question of residency can be a little more difficult to answer. If a person moves during the year, or for some reason spends an extended period of time outside the state, the actual state of residence may not always be as obvious. Intent of Individual The issue of residency hinges mainly on the intent of the individual. That intent is often clear and easy to determine. If a person moves from one state to another with the intent of changing residence, that person will take certain actions. They will typically take obvious steps to eliminate ties and contacts with the former state, and establish similar ties and contacts with the new state. In some cases, however, the actions taken by the individual may create some confusion as to the actual intent. Factors to Measure Intent When a person's intent is not readily apparent, several factors are used as a guide to measure that intent. No single factor can be used. All the facts and circumstances of the case must be weighed in their totality to determine a person's intent and residency. Some of the factors used in this analysis are listed below: ● Are you registered to vote in Iowa? ● Have you voted (in person or by absentee ballot) in an Iowa election? ● Do you or any of your family attend Iowa schools? ● Do you have an Iowa telephone listing and service? ● Do you receive your mail in Iowa? ● Do you have an Iowa driver's license? ● Do you hold any business or professional licenses in Iowa? ● Do you hold an Iowa hunting or fishing license? ● Is your automobile registered in Iowa? Do you have Iowa license plates? ● Are any boats or recreational or all-terrain vehicles registered in Iowa? ● Do you own a home in Iowa? ● Is your home larger than your home in any other state? ● Do you claim homestead or military credits for property tax?

● Do you keep your valuables, mementos, collections, jewelry, or prized personal possessions in Iowa? ● Do you live in Iowa for more days of the tax year than in any other state? ● Do you live in any other state for more days of the tax year than in Iowa? ● Do you receive income from an Iowa source? ● Do you receive services from doctors, dentists, attorneys, CPAs, or any other professionals located in Iowa? ● Do you have an active membership in an Iowa church, club, professional or civic organization in Iowa, and participate as a result of the membership? ● Do you claim a benefit on the federal income tax return based on an Iowa home being the principal place of business? ● Do you have active checking or savings accounts or use of safe deposit boxes located in Iowa? ● Do you have a location of employment in Iowa or active participation in a business within Iowa? ● Is Iowa the state of residency in your Last Will and Testament? Please keep in mind that no single factor will typically be sufficient to make a residency determination. When viewed as a whole, the answers to the above questions will generally give a good indication as to the individual's intent, and therefore, to the state of residence. Residency Rules For more details on the subject of residency, including several examples, please refer to Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-300.17. Servicemembers and their Spouses Servicemembers and their spouses should reference Iowa Tax Responsibilities of Servicemembers and their Spouses for additional information. Certified Tax Returns for Nonresidents Residents of other states who need a certified copy of the Iowa return for filing with their state of residence must include an extra copy of their Iowa return and a self-addressed stamped envelope when they file. A note stating the purpose of the extra copy should be included. The Department will stamp the copy and return it to you. Confidentiality Taxpayers provide confidential tax information to the Iowa Department of Revenue in the form of individual income tax returns and other Iowa schedules, forms, and supporting documentation. Your tax information is kept confidential by the Department, with a few exceptions as required by law. Most notably, information from your return may be made available to the Internal Revenue Service or to tax officials of another state for tax administration purposes. Any Iowa Department of Revenue employee who discloses tax return information without legal authority is guilty of a serious misdemeanor, subject to a fine, incarceration, and civil damages. The Department will discuss confidential tax information only with the taxpayer, unless the taxpayer has properly authorized another individual to speak with or represent the taxpayer regarding the relevant tax year and issue. For more information, see Confidentiality, Disclosure, and Authorized Representation. If you do not provide individual income returns or the necessary information to support the return, or if you provide fraudulent information, you may be charged penalties and interest and may be subject to criminal prosecution.

Credits: Refundable or Nonrefundable - What's the Difference? Although Iowa and the IRS may have the same type of credit, it may or may not be refundable on both returns. Nonrefundable Tax Credit A nonrefundable tax credit will reduce your tax liability. This credit may reduce your tax liability down to zero, but it will never generate a refund. An example of this type of credit is the Tuition and Textbook Credit or any other credit taken in Step 5 of the IA 1040 individual income tax form. Refundable Tax Credit A refundable tax credit will also reduce your tax liability. However, if this tax credit exceeds your tax liability it will generate an Iowa refund. An example of this type of credit is the Iowa Child and Dependent Care Credit or any other credit taken in Step 6 of the IA 1040 individual income tax form. Do You Owe Tax?

Iowa does not have a formal payment plan option prior to receiving a bill from the Department. However, if you are unable to pay your Iowa tax liability in full, file the return and pay what you can by the due date. If you do not file your return by the due date, and at least 90% of the correct tax is not paid, you owe an additional 5% late penalty on the unpaid tax. By filing the return on time, even if at least 90% of the correct tax due isn't paid, you only owe an additional 5% late penalty on the unpaid tax. You may pay online through govconnect.iowa.gov If paying by check or money order, mail a check or money order with an IA 1040V Payment Voucher payable to Iowa Department of Revenue. Write the type of tax being paid and the tax year being paid on the check or money order. Do not send in any payment of less than one dollar. The mailing address is on the voucher. You will be billed for the balance after your return is processed, including any penalty or interest that may be due. We encourage you to make payment prior to receiving a bill in order to reduce the interest amount due. Interest will accrue on the first of each month until the balance is paid.

Estimated Payments

# Iowa Residents

Iowa residents who expect to owe Iowa income tax of $200 ($1,000 for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026) or more from income not subject to withholding tax must make estimated tax payments to avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. For additional information, see IA 1040ES instructions. Farming or Commercial Fishing If at least two-thirds of your income is from farming or commercial fishing, you may avoid penalty for underpayment of estimated tax in one of the following ways: (1) You may pay the estimated tax in one payment on or before January 15, 2026, and file your return by April 30, 2026, or (2) you may file your return and pay the tax in full by March 1, 2026.* Nonresidents Nonresidents with nonwage income from Iowa, see IA 1040ES instructions. Married Taxpayers filing Jointly Estimated tax payments should be filed under the primary taxpayer's name and SSN. Married Taxpayers filing Separately Each individual required to make estimated tax payments must file an estimated payment under their name and Social Security Number. How to Pay You can set up your payments to be automatically deducted from your bank or credit union account using govconnect.iowa.gov, in person, or by mail. Simply select Individual Income Estimate Tax and the payment option that works best for you using EasyPay Iowa. ● Installment 1 - April 30 ● Installment 2 - June 30 ● Installment 3 - September 30 ● Installment 4 - January 31 The tax period listed on the payment voucher, if applicable, should reflect the end date (commonly December 31) for which the payment is to be applied. The installment date should not be listed as the tax period. * If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as defined in Iowa Code section 421.9A, then the due date is the following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. Extension Requests The Department does not have an extension form to obtain additional time to file. A federal extension does not apply for Iowa purposes. If at least 90% of your total tax liability is paid by April 30, 2026, you will automatically have until October 31, 2026, to file your return timely. You will not be charged a late file penalty. However, you may owe an IA 2210 penalty for failure to make estimated payments. You will owe interest on any tax still due after April 30, 2026.* * If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as defined in Iowa Code section 421.9A, then the due date is the following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.

How to determine if 90% of the tax you owe has already been paid: Multiply the amount on IA 1040, line 20 by 90% (.90). If the result is equal to or less than the amount on IA 1040, line 30, an extension is automatic. Example: ● Total state and local tax before contributions from IA 1040, line 20 = $5,000 ● $5,000 x 90% = $4,500 ● Total credits from IA 1040, line 30 = $4,000 90% of the tax has not been paid. No extension is available to this taxpayer. This taxpayer will owe penalty and interest on the unpaid tax. Example: ● Total state and local tax before contributions from IA 1040, line 20 = $3,000 ● $3,000 x 90% = $2,700 ● Total credits from IA 1040, line 30 = $2,850 This taxpayer receives an automatic extension until October 31, 2026 and will pay only interest on the unpaid tax. If you need to make a tax payment to meet the 90% requirement, you may: ● arrange payment from your bank account, or by credit/debit card through govconnect.iowa.gov. ● use the IA 1040V payment voucher form Farmers and Commercial Fishers If at least two-thirds of your income is from farming or commercial fishing, you may avoid penalty for underpayment of estimated tax in one of the following ways: 1. Pay the estimated tax in one payment on or before January 15, 2026, and file the Iowa income tax return by April 30, 2026, or 2. File the Iowa income tax return and pay the tax due in full on or before March 1, 2026. An IA 2210F is required to be filed with the Iowa income tax return, and the applicable box on IA 1040, Line 35 must be checked * If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday as defined in Iowa Code section 421.9A, then the due date is the following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. Federal Bonus Depreciation / Section 179 Bonus Depreciation Bonus depreciation is available for Iowa tax purposes for assets placed in service in a tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. See IA 4562A&B for required adjustments for assets placed in service in a tax year beginning before January 1, 2021. Section 179 For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 the IRC section 179 limitations and phase-out threshold for Iowa purposes are the same as federal. See IA 4562A&B for required adjustments.

Injured Spouse Injured spouse: The federal "injured spouse" form is not recognized by the State of Iowa when using filing status 2 (married filing jointly). If your filing status is married filing jointly, your refund will be used to pay a federal, state, county, or city debt owed by either spouse. See Refunds May Be Used to Pay Debt. Relief from Joint and Several Liability Married taxpayers are generally jointly and severally liable for the total tax, penalty, and interest from a joint return. However, a person who meets the criteria for relief from joint and several liability established in Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code may be relieved of liability for an understatement of tax that is attributable to erroneous items of the other spouse. A married taxpayer filing a return with a spouse can qualify for relief from joint and several liability only if the taxpayers file a joint return. A married taxpayer who files a separate return that has been accepted by the state will not be eligible for relief from joint and several liability. Time Period for Requesting Relief from Joint and Several Liability Relief from joint and several liability must be requested within two years of the date on the Notice of Assessment. However, an extended time period to request equitable relief is available for taxpayers who satisfy the criteria under Section 6015(f) of the Internal Revenue Code and, if applicable, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2011-70. For additional information related to relief from joint and several liability, see Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-300.15. How to Request Innocent Spouse Relief: 1. Follow the process described in the Notice of Assessment 2. Access the Innocent Spouse Relief Request on GovConnectIowa 3. Complete the on-screen prompts Notification of Non-Requesting Spouse When a taxpayer requests innocent spouse relief, the Department may notify the nonrequesting spouse or former spouse of the request for relief. The notice will advise the nonrequesting spouse or former spouse of their right to intervene by filing a notice of intervention with the Department. Iowa and Illinois Reciprocal Agreement Iowa's only income tax reciprocal agreement is with Illinois. Any wages or salaries earned by an Iowa resident working in Illinois are taxable only to Iowa and not to Illinois. Any wages or salaries earned by an Illinois resident working in Iowa are taxable only to Illinois and not to Iowa. Iowa will tax any Iowa-source income received by an Illinois resident that is not from wages or salaries. Illinois may tax any Illinois-source income received by an Iowa resident that is not from wages or salaries. Iowa gambling winnings and unemployment compensation for employment in Iowa are examples of income that are not wages and salaries and, therefore, not covered under the Iowa-Illinois Reciprocal Agreement.

# Iowa Resident Working for Wages or Salary in Illinois

An Iowa resident working for wages or salary in Illinois should complete and file Illinois form IL-W-5-NR Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Illinois with the employer so that the employer will withhold Iowa income tax.

Illinois Resident Working for Wages or Salary in Iowa An Illinois resident working for wages or salary in Iowa should complete and file the Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Iowa, 44-016 with the employer so that the employer will withhold Illinois income tax.

# Iowa Tax Responsibilities of Servicemembers and their Spouses

Resident Servicemembers Iowa residents who are members of the armed forces, armed forces military reserve, and the National Guard in an active duty status can exclude pay received from the federal government for military service performed. "Active duty," for Iowa tax purposes, has the same meaning as defined in 10 U.S.C. § 101(d)(1). Iowa residents who are members of the military should include the active duty pay received from the federal government for military service performed as income on the IA 1040, line 1a and deduct the same active duty pay on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 6. These individuals should provide an IA W-4 to the payer of this income, claiming exemption from withholding on active duty pay. Servicemembers claiming this exclusion should be prepared to send a copy of their active duty military orders to the Department if requested to do so. When must a resident servicemember file an Iowa income tax return? If a servicemember is an Iowa resident, they must file an Iowa individual income tax return if they: ● are married and their combined income* totals more than $13,500 ($32,000 if you or your spouse is 65 or older on 12/31/24) ● are single and total income* is more than $9,000 ($24,000 if 65 or older on 12/31/24) ● have income* of $5,000 or more and is claimed as a dependent on another person's Iowa return ● are filing as head of household or qualifying surviving spouse and total income* is more than $13,500 ($32,000 if you or your spouse is 65 or older on 12/31/24) *Income does not include pay received from the federal government for military service performed by members of the armed forces, armed forces military reserve, and the National Guard in an active duty status. School District Surtax (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-304.1) Each person has one and only one state of residence. A person may be a resident of a state even though he or she does not actually live in the state. A military person does not lose "home state" residency simply by being absent from the state while in the military. (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) What income is subject to Iowa tax? (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-302.76) Military pay to Iowa residents must be included on the IA 1040, line 1a to the same extent it is included on the federal return regardless of where the person is stationed when it is received. Other income earned by an Iowa resident stationed in or out of Iowa is also taxable to Iowa to the same extent it is taxable on the federal level. If any of that income is correctly taxed by another state, then Iowa allows an Out-of-State Tax Credit on the IA 1040. This credit is calculated on the IA 130 form, which must be included with the IA 1040 along with a copy of the other state's return. Active duty pay Iowa resident members of the armed forces, armed forces military reserve, and the National Guard in an active duty status can exclude pay received from the federal government for military service performed. "Active duty," for Iowa tax purposes, has the same meaning as defined in 10 U.S.C. § 101(d)(1). NOTE: Members who are employed full-time in the National Guard (as defined in Title 32 of the U.S. Code) are not considered in an active duty status, so their pay is not excluded from Iowa tax. Include all income on line 1 with other W-2, 1099, or W-2G income. Qualifying military income is then deducted on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 6.

Combat zone pay Income excluded by the federal government is also excluded for Iowa income tax purposes. For example, combat zone pay is excluded on the Iowa return because it is excluded for federal income tax purposes. The federal Military Family Tax Relief Act of 2003 provides for a number of tax breaks related to military personnel. Iowa follows the federal treatment of the military adjustments to gross income. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website is your best source of qualifying combat zones and tax breaks related to military personnel. See www.irs.gov/individuals/military. Military Student Loan Exemption (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-302.63) Military student loan repayments included in federal taxable income are exempt from Iowa income tax if the following criteria are met. This exemption may be taken by persons in the: ● armed forces ● armed forces military reserve ● National Guard The individual must be on active duty at the time of the loan repayment. If the loan repayment amount is included on IA 1040, line 2, then deduct it on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 19 using code "t". Military Retirement Pay Retirement pay for military service in the United States Armed Forces, the Armed Forces Military Reserve, or the National Guard is eligible for exemption from Iowa income tax, without regard for age or disability. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard make up the Armed Forces. Only military retirement pay received from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), or a similar source, is eligible for the exemption. Retirement pay received from other sources, including the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), does not qualify for the exemption. In particular, retirement pay resulting from participation in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) does not qualify for the exemption. For more details, see Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-302.80. Deduct qualifying military retirement pay included in federal taxable income on IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 4. Exclusion of Distributions from Retirement Plans by National Guard members and members of military reserve forces of the United (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-302.58) If a National Guard member or member of the military reserve is called to National Guard duty or federal active duty and makes a withdrawal from a qualified retirement account of the member, the amount of the withdrawal is not subject to Iowa income tax or state tax penalty. If this income is reported as taxable pension income, enter that amount on the IA 1040, Schedule 1, line 4. Deferral of Collection of State Income Tax (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal law that, among other things, requires the Department to allow a deferral of collection of state income tax if a servicemember's ability to pay is materially affected by their military service. The deferral lasts for only a period of up to 180 days after termination or release from military service. The SCRA only defers collection of income tax that has fallen due before or during military service. Servicemembers must still file their income tax returns, unless their duty to file is suspended by another authority.

Do You Qualify? 1. You must be a "servicemember." ○ Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and of the Public Health Service are servicemembers under the SCRA. ○ Members of the National Guard and reserves are servicemembers under the SCRA only if those members are serving under a call to active service authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense for a period of more than 30 consecutive days. 2. You must serve during a period of "military service." ○ In the case of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, a servicemember is serving in a period of military service if they are on "active duty." ○ In the case of commissioned officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or Public Health Service, a servicemember is serving in a period of military service if they are in "active service." ○ In the case of members of the National Guard and reserves, a servicemember is serving in a period of military service if they are serving under a call to active service authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense for a period of more than 30 consecutive days. 3. You must be "materially affected" by your military service. ○ The Department will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether servicemembers' ability to pay their income tax has been materially affected by their military service. 4. You must be in "filing compliance." ○ Servicemembers can receive a deferral of collection of income taxes only for periods in which they have filed an income tax return. 5. You must file a written request for deferral. ○ Servicemembers must make a written request for deferral of collection of income to the Department by completing the Request for Deferral of Iowa Income Tax form. Servicemembers must submit a copy of their orders with their Servicemember Request for Deferral of Iowa Income Tax (41-024). Forgiveness of Tax (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-301.11) Iowa income tax is forgiven if an individual's federal income tax was forgiven because: ● the individual was killed in a combat zone, or ● the individual is missing in action and presumed dead, or ● the individual was killed outside the United States due to terrorist or military action while they were a military or civilian employee of the United States Single status Iowa income tax is forgiven for the tax year in which the individual was killed or was missing and presumed dead and for the tax year prior to the year of death. Married / year of death All tax is forgiven for the year of death if the deceased was married at the time of death and his or her filing status is married filing joint for that tax year. Married / prior year All tax is forgiven if the deceased was married at the time of death and a joint return or a married filing separate return was filed for the year prior to death. Please note that if the deceased had filed using the married filing separately on the combined return status, only the state income tax attributable to the deceased

will be forgiven. Prior-year returns cannot be amended to change the filing status. (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-301.11) Applying for Forgiveness of Tax To claim forgiveness of tax for an individual who was killed in military or terrorist action, or who is missing in action and presumed dead, the person filing an Iowa income tax return or an Iowa claim for refund should write at the top of the return "Forgiveness of Tax-Killed in Military Action" or "Forgiveness of Tax-Killed in Terrorist Action" depending on how the deceased was killed. A copy of the deceased's death certificate, or other evidence that establishes that the deceased was killed in military or terrorist action or is missing in action and presumed dead, should be attached to the income tax return or to the claim for refund. Claims for refund will only be honored if the claim for refund is made within the statute of limitations for claims for refund provided in Iowa Code section 422.73. Return Due Date and Extensions (Iowa Administrative Code rules 701-301.12 and 701-301.14) The usual filing deadline for Iowa income tax returns is April 30. If 90% of the tax due is paid by that time, the deadline is extended to October 31. No extension form is available or required. Qualifying individuals may be granted extensions under certain circumstances for filing returns and for other acts related to the Department. These are listed below. Who qualifies for an extension? ● Active duty military servicemembers in the armed forces, armed forces military reserve, or National Guard who are deployed outside the United States ● A person serving in support of those forces ● A spouse of a person listed above if they file jointly or if they are a party with the eligible taxpayer to any other act related to the Department ● An eligible individual who was continuously hospitalized because of illness or injury in the combat zone "Other acts related to the Department" includes: ● Filing claims for refund for any tax administered by the Department ● Making tax payments other than withholding payments ● Filing appeals on the tax matters ● Filing other tax returns ● Performing other acts described in the Department's rules Applying for the Extension To claim the extension, eligible taxpayers, and, if applicable, their spouses, should notify the Department of their eligibility by sending the information described below to the Department: ● Taxpayer's name and spouse's name ● Taxpayer's date of birth and spouse's date of birth ● Taxpayer's U.S. address and spouse's address ● Date of taxpayer's deployment overseas ● For military personnel, an official document that indicates taxpayer's deployment ● For qualifying civilians, a letter of authorization, a similar letter from the taxpayer's employer, or a letter from the military stating that the taxpayer served in a "tax-free zone" or "Combat Zone Tax Exclusion Area (CZTE)" The taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or an authorized agent or representative of the taxpayer may submit the notification of eligibility to the Department.

Extension Periods In general, the additional time period for filing state returns and performing other acts related to the Department is 180 days. IRS Military Web Page For further information about federal tax provisions governing military personnel, go to the IRS website at: www.irs.gov/individuals/military. Nonresident Servicemembers The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal law that, among other things, protects servicemembers from losing their home state residency simply by being absent from their home state in compliance with military orders. The SCRA also protects servicemembers from establishing residency simply by being in another state where they are located pursuant to military orders. Residency (Iowa Administrative Code rule 701-300.17) Each person has one and only one state of residence. A person may be a resident of a state even though they do not actually live in the state. When is a servicemember an Iowa resident? A servicemember is an Iowa resident if: ● the servicemember was a resident of Iowa at the time of enlistment or ● the servicemember has declared Iowa to be his or her "military home of record" or ● the servicemember has taken positive action to establish residency in Iowa A person remains an Iowa resident until positive action is taken to establish residency in another state. See Are You a Resident of Iowa for Tax Purposes. Establishing residency in another state To establish residency in another state, a servicemember should first complete form DD2058, State of Legal Residence Certificate, which is available from the payroll officer of the Military Office of Personnel. However, completion of this form, alone, does not establish residency. A combination of the actions listed below is required to establish legal residence in another state. ● physical presence in the other state ● registering to vote in the other state ● changing driver's license ● registering vehicles in the other state ● applying for other privileges offered by the other state ● payment of real estate tax or income tax in the new state If steps are not taken to change residency, a servicemember remains a resident of Iowa and is subject to Iowa income tax laws. The Director of the Iowa Department of Revenue may require an individual to provide proof that residency has been established in another state. Nonresident Military Income Beginning with tax year 2003, the following apply for Iowa as a result of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act: Compensation for military service is not considered to be Iowa-source income for nonresident servicemembers. However, nonresident servicemembers who have Iowa income from sources other than compensation for military service may be subject to Iowa income tax.

In general, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act applies only to active duty members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard and to commissioned officers of the Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who are in active service. Generally, this does not include the National Guard or reserve personnel. Exceptions exist for nonresident members of the National Guard who are under active duty orders under Section 502(f) of Title 32 of the United States Code and for servicemembers who are absent from duty under specific circumstances. Servicemembers who are not residents of Iowa are required to file Iowa income tax returns if their all-source income meets the above requirements and their Iowa-source income is $1,000 or more. The nonresident servicemember includes all income as instructed on IA 1040, lines 1 and 2, and reports any compensation for military service as a modification to federal total income on the IA 1040 Schedule 1, line 6. The net result is a reduction of the tax rate on any other Iowa-source income. Once this is done, the nonresident turns to another Iowa form, the IA 126 Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Schedule. Only Iowa-source income is included on this form and will not include military pay when calculating the credit. That credit is entered on the IA 1040, line 13, and is designed to minimize the taxation of income by Iowa and the other state. Nonresidents and part-year residents must file both the IA 1040 and the IA 126 with a complete copy of the federal return. IRS Military Web Page For further information about federal provisions that may impact military personnel, go to the IRS website at www.irs.gov/individuals/military Spouses of Servicemembers Under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act of 2009 (MSRRA), the Veterans Benefits and Transitions Act of 2018 (VBTA), and the Veterans Auto and Education Improvement Act of 2022, the spouses of servicemembers may be exempt from Iowa income tax on income from services performed in Iowa if they are not residents of Iowa. Servicemembers' spouses are protected, by federal law, from losing their home state residency simply by being absent from their home state in order to be with the servicemember spouse who is elsewhere in compliance with military orders. Federal law also protects servicemembers' spouses from establishing residency simply by being in another state where they are located to be with the servicemember spouse pursuant to military orders. Spouses covered by the MSRRA can establish new residency when they take positive action to do so. Under the MSRRA and Iowa law, a servicemember's spouse's income from wages, salaries, tips, etc., may be excluded from Iowa income tax if: ● the servicemember spouse is a member of the uniformed services present in Iowa in compliance with his or her orders ● the non-servicemember spouse is present in Iowa solely to be with the servicemember spouse, and ● the non-servicemember spouse is a resident of another state. Under the VBTA, a servicemember's spouse's income from wages, salaries, tips, etc., may be excluded from Iowa income tax if: ● the non-servicemember spouse elects to use the same residence as the servicemember spouse for tax purposes.

Under the Veterans Auto and Education Improvement Act of 2022, a spouse of a service member may retain their personal residence or domicile for purposes of taxation. Under the act, a servicemember and the spouse of the member are authorized to elect to use the following locations for purposes of taxation: ● the residence or domicile of the member, ● the residence or domicile of the spouse, or ● the permanent duty station of the member. Other income, like interest income or rental income, is included in a nonresident spouse's Iowa income and may be taxed in Iowa. Iowa W-4 The IA W-4 includes information related to this federal law. If you claim this exclusion, check the appropriate box on the IA W-4 and enter the state other than Iowa you are claiming as your state of domicile or residence for tax purposes. Attach a copy of your spousal military identification card to the IA W-4 form provided by your employer. Filing Iowa Income Tax Returns Spouses who are eligible for the spouses of servicemembers exemption should report all-source income on the IA 1040, but should show no Iowa wages, salaries, tips, or Schedule C income on the IA 126. Enter the amount from IA 126, line 34 on IA 1040, line 13. Iowa income tax withheld should be entered on IA 1040, line 28. Then complete the remainder of the IA 1040 to determine the amount of any refund that may be due.

● Your tax payment is made from your savings or checking account without having to write a check. ● See other payment options using EasyPay Net Operating Losses For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, Iowa will incorporate the federal net operating loss (NOL) and will no longer allow an Iowa-specific NOL. Taxpayers should use the IA 124 form to calculate the amount of any pre-2023 federal NOL carryforward that must be added back or any pre-2023 Iowa NOL that may be deducted. Follow the IA 124 form instructions for reporting the pre-2023 NOL adjustment amounts. Carryover net operation losses should not be used in the calculation of the current year Iowa nonresident and part-year resident tax credit (IA 126). Nonresidents and Part-Year Residents A nonresident or part-year resident of Iowa must complete the IA 1040 reporting the individual's total income, including income earned outside Iowa. The taxpayer is allowed adjustments to income on the same basis as if the taxpayer were a resident of Iowa. The nonresident or part-year resident may then complete a Schedule IA 126. On the IA 126, only Iowa income is reported and a percentage of Iowa income to total income is determined. The taxpayer receives a credit against the initial tax liability based on the percentage of income from outside Iowa. Therefore, the result of this credit is that only Iowa-source income is taxed. Although non-Iowa income is used to calculate the initial tax liability at the appropriate tax rate, the non-Iowa income itself is not subject to tax. By using this method, Iowa taxes the Iowa-source income of nonresidents and part-year residents at the same rate it taxes Iowa residents. A nonresident of Iowa with all-source income of $250,000 and $10,000 of Iowa income, will, after completing the IA 126 form, be taxed at the same 3.8% tax rate as an Iowa resident on the $10,000 of Iowa income. For more information, see IA 126. A part-year resident may also complete the IA 130 if they have income earned while an Iowa resident, which is taxed by another state, local jurisdiction, or foreign country. For more information, see IA 130. Income which is not taxable for Iowa purposes should not be reported on the IA 126 or IA 130. Examples of types of income which are taxable for federal purposes but are excluded for Iowa purposes on Schedule 1 include: ● Social Security Benefits ● Active Duty Military Pay and Military Retirement ● IRA/Pension/Railroad Retirement Income ● Railroad Unemployment Income Nonresidents with Gambling Winnings Iowa gambling winnings are taxable in Iowa even if the winner is not an Iowa resident. Nonresidents should complete the IA 1040, showing income from all sources, including Iowa gambling winnings, lines 1 through 12. Then use the IA 126 to determine your credit based upon the percentage of Iowa income to total income. Do not include any losses from gambling on IA 126. This credit should be entered on IA 1040, line 13, then complete the remainder of the return. Include a copy of your federal return.

Record Keeping Iowa individual income tax returns and all supporting documentation, including federal returns and all relevant schedules, should be kept for at least 10 years after filing the return. If you have unreported income or fraudulent filings, the statute of limitations for examination by the Department is unlimited. Refunds May Be Used to Pay Debt The state setoff program is a method State of Iowa public agencies may use to collect past-due (delinquent) debts (for example, child support payments) that are owed. The state setoff program matches people and businesses who owe delinquent debts with money that is owed to those people and businesses (for example, an income tax refund). Sources of funds available for setoff include, but are not limited to, tax refunds, casino and sports wagering winnings, State-issued vendor payments, and Iowa Lottery winnings. To the extent allowed by law, when a match occurs, the Iowa Department of Revenue withholds or sets off money to apply toward the delinquent debt. State of Iowa Setoff Program requirements are outlined in Iowa Code section 421.65 and Iowa Administrative Code 701-Chapter 26. To learn more, visit revenue.iowa.gov/setoffs. Submitting Your Return Supporting Documentation Include all necessary supporting documentation and a copy of your federal return. Place documents in the following order: 1. Check or Money Order 2. Payment Voucher 3. W-2s and 1099s 4. IA 1040 5. Iowa schedules, forms, and supporting documentation 6. Copy of complete federal return 7. Copy of any other applicable state tax returns Do not staple the IA 1040 or any supporting documentation. Include all required schedules, even if the schedule results in zero dollars. Use Tax Information for Businesses and Individuals Do you purchase items from out of state or through the internet, catalogs, magazines, or vendors who advertise on television or radio? Will those items be used in Iowa? Would they be subject to Iowa sales tax if purchased in Iowa? Are you paying tax on those purchases? If not, you owe Iowa use tax on the purchase price. If you purchase tangible personal property, specified digital products, or taxable services for use in Iowa and the seller does not charge you Iowa tax on the purchase, you owe a 6% tax known as the use tax on the price of the purchase.

Anyone - individuals and businesses - who makes these types of purchases is required to pay use tax. Persons owing $1,200 or more in use tax per year on taxable goods or services must register with the Iowa Department of Revenue for a sales and use tax permit and report the tax as "taxable purchases" in the use tax section of the sales and use tax return. Persons who do not have a sales and use tax permit and who do not regularly make purchases subject to use tax or who owe less than $1,200 in use tax per year may report their tax on the Iowa Non-Permit Use Tax Return (32-007). Businesses should review all purchases to determine if the vendor collected the proper tax. Businesses that fail to do so may find themselves with a use tax liability, plus penalty and interest, for not reporting the use tax in a timely manner. For more information, see our Sales and Use Tax Guide. What to Do If You Do Not Receive Your W-2 Each year many Iowans do not get W-2s from their employers by the January 31 date required by the IRS. If you have moved: Contact your employer with your new address. If you simply have not received it: Contact your employer and try to find out why you have not received the W-2. If you still do not receive it: You may also call the IRS at 800-829-1040. They will work with you and explain the steps needed to receive a substitute W-2. Iowa will accept a copy of the substitute W-2 filed with the IRS. However, the substitute W-2 may not show Iowa withholding. No credit for Iowa withholding can be given in this case unless you have pay stubs that show Iowa withholding. If you need a W-2 from a previous year, here are some other possible options: ● Social Security Administration (SSA) - may provide copies of Forms W-2 for retirement purposes at no charge and for other than retirement purposes for a fee. Call 1-800-772-1213, or visit the SSA website at www.ssa.gov for instructions on how to obtain wage information from the SSA. ● Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - may provide an exact copy of a previously filed and processed tax return with attachments (including the form W-2). You should complete federal Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, and mail it to the address listed in the instructions. A fee will be charged for each tax year requested. NOTE: The Iowa Department of Revenue is not able to provide you with a copy of your W-2 information.
