I paid on time, why does my payment show it's late?
All first time payments submitted through GovConnectIowa are required to be verified with the taxpayer's bank to ensure compliance with banking industry rules. The verification process can take up to 5 business days before the payment is applied to the tax liability, and may cause a balance due. This may result in penalty and interest showing on your GovConnectIowa account. Penalty and interest will be automatically recalculated once the payment has been successfully applied.
