Tax Tip Tuesday: Coupling Federal Tax Law Updates


The Iowa Legislature's decision on whether or not to couple federal tax law changes will have a major impact on many people's tax returns this year. Here's a previous Tax Tip Tuesday blog on this issue. And this has left many Iowans wondering if they should wait to file.

Unfortunately, at this time, there has not been any conclusion to this issue. The good news is that the Senate and governor are now willing to discuss how to pass this for 2015 tax returns.

The bad news is that we are two months into 2016 and still don’t know what the Iowa tax rules will be for some returns that were impacted by the 2015 federal tax extenders bill passed in late December 2015.

We will let you know as soon as this issue is resolved. Please continue to reach out to your legislator concerning this important issue.
