Enter the total of other allowable adjustments as described below. Include an explanation for each adjustment.

Do not include any deduction for the small business health insurance tax credit that was not allowed as a deduction on the federal return.

a. Accrual method

Taxpayers who had capital gains in 2022 that were reported on the installment method for federal tax purposes and the entire gain was reported for Iowa in a prior year do not have to report installments.

b. Active duty military pay

Members of the armed forces, armed forces military reserve, or the national guard in an active duty status can exclude pay received from the federal government for military service performed, to the extent it was included in line 15, Gross Income.

c. Alternative motor vehicle deduction

Alternative motor vehicle deduction of $2,000 for taxpayers who are eligible for the federal Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit under Internal Revenue Code section 30B and who complete federal form 8910.

d. Capital gain from installment sales reported on the 2001 Iowa return using the accrual method

The installment method for reporting capital gain for accrual accounting taxpayers is adopted for Iowa individual income tax purposes for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2002. However, if you used the accrual method of accounting and reported the entire capital gain on the 2001 Iowa return which was reported on the installment method for federal tax purposes, deduct the amount reported of any additional installments from that capital gain on this line.

e. Capital or ordinary gain from involuntary conversion related to eminent domain

An exclusion of both capital gain and ordinary gain is available for individual income taxpayers relating to capital or ordinary gain income realized by a taxpayer as a result of the involuntary conversion of property due to eminent domain. Eminent domain relates to the authority of certain government agencies or instrumentalities of government to condemn private property for any public improvement, public purpose, or other public use.

If there is no ordinary or capital gain recognized for tax purposes because the converted property is replaced with property that is similar to, or related in use to, the converted property, there is no exclusion allowed for Iowa tax purposes until the remaining gain is recognized for federal tax purposes or until the time of disposition of the replacement property. Any exclusion allowed for Iowa tax purposes does not alter the basis of the property as established for federal tax purposes, so the basis will remain the same for both federal and Iowa tax purposes.

f. Claim of Right Deduction

If income was repaid in the 2022 tax year and was reported and taxed on a prior Iowa return, that income may be deducted on the 2022 tax return. However, it may be to your advantage to take a credit on line 62. You may take either the deduction on line 24 or take a credit on line 62, but not both.

Example 1: A taxpayer reported $7,000 in unemployment benefits on the 2021 Iowa return. The taxpayer’s 2021 AGI exceeded $150,000 without including the unemployment income. The taxpayer did not qualify for the unemployment exclusion. In early 2022 the taxpayer was notified that $4,000 of the unemployment benefits had to be repaid. The benefits were repaid by the end of 2022. The taxpayer may claim a $4,000 income adjustment on line 24 of the 2022 Iowa return.

Example 2: A taxpayer received $20,000 Iowa unemployment benefits in 2021. $10,200 of those benefits were excluded from tax. The taxpayer had to repay $15,000 of unemployment. $20,000 - $10,2000 = $9,800 of benefits were reported and taxed in 2021. The taxpayer may claim a $9,800 income adjustment on line 24 of the 2022 Iowa return.

g. College Savings Iowa or Iowa Advisor 529 Education Savings Plans

If you or your spouse participate in the College Savings Iowa 529 Plan (Iowa Educational Savings Plan Trust) or the Iowa Advisor 529 Plan, each may deduct an amount contributed not to exceed $3,522 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 $3,522 per child’s account. Adam and Tara each are eligible for a deduction of up to $7,044. Adam and Tara’s total potential deduction amount is $14,088.

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(32)(c)(1)(f)(i), you may not deduct the recontribution amount when calculating your Iowa net income and the recontribution amount will not be considered when determining whether you have met the annual deduction cap.

Be sure you have properly shown these contributions as a deduction for one of these plans. Most computer software programs will ask for this information and correctly indicate the appropriate reason for the deduction.

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.

h. Disability income exclusion

You may exclude from Iowa tax a portion of the disability pay you received in 2022 if you meet ALL of the following conditions:

• You received disability pay, and
• You were not yet 65 when your tax year ended, and
• You retired on disability and were totally and permanently disabled when you retired, and
• On January 1, 2022, you had not yet reached the age when your employer's retirement program would have required you to retire.

If you meet all of these conditions, obtain form IA 2440. You MUST complete form IA 2440 to take this exclusion. A doctor's statement must accompany each year's return attesting to the taxpayer's complete and permanent disability.

i. NONCONFORMITY ADJUSTMENT: Domestic production activities deduction resulting from a tax year beginning prior to January 1, 2019 (Expired)

j. First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account qualifying contributions

You may deduct up to $2,181 ($4,363 for married filing jointly) in qualifying Iowa First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account contributions made during the tax year. This deduction limitation is based on the account holder, so even though you may have contributed to multiple accounts for more than one beneficiary, your total deduction may not exceed $2,181 ($4,363 for married filing jointly).

Contributions are only deductible if they are made to accounts that have been designated as First-Tme Homebuyer Savings Accounts by submitting the Account Holder and Designated Beneficiary Form to the Department. The Account Holder and Designated Beneficiary Form must be submitted to the Department by April 30 of the calendar year following the year in which you opened the account to the address on that form.

For example, if you opened the account in 2022, the form is due no later than April 30, 2023. The April 30 deadline applies even if you are a fiscal year filer. The Account Holder and Designated Beneficiary Form must be submitted to the Department separately from your 2022 Iowa income tax return.

Taxpayers are also required to complete an Iowa Department of Revenue annual report form and include it with their Iowa income tax return.

Complete and send a Withdrawal Form, 41-163 to the Iowa Department of Revenue when money is withdrawn. Note: this form must be submitted to the Department within ninety (90) days of the date of any withdrawal of funds in any amount from the First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account.
