Common adjustments include but are not limited to Iowa modifications for business interest expense limitations, loss limitations, and like-kind exchanges of personal property. 

Married Separate Filers:

Farm income must be reported by the spouse who claims it for self-employment tax purposes on the federal Schedule SE.

If the other spouse claims a share of the farm income, then that spouse must attach a worksheet showing how that share was determined based on capital contribution, management and control, and services rendered.
