2024 Iowa Form IA-1040

What Is Iowa Form IA 1040?

Iowa Form IA 1040 is used by full-year residents to file their state income tax return. The purpose of the IA Form 1040 is to determine how much state income tax you owe or if you are due a refund. Part-year and nonresident filers must file Iowa Form IA 1040 and include Schedule IA 126. The state of Iowa does not currently offer a short form for individuals. Read the Which Form to File section of the Iowa 1040 instructions to help determine if you should file as a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident for tax year 2024.

Who Must File Iowa Form IA 1040?

According to the 2024 IA 1040 Instructions, you must file an Iowa tax return if your gross income exceeds the minimum amounts for your filing status. Single filers must file if their gross income is more than $9,000. Married filers must file if their gross income is $13,500 or more. The gross income thresholds are much lower if you are a nonresident or part-year resident, or can be claimed as a dependent. Gross income generally means all income before expenses and deductions taxable by the State of Iowa.

Even if your income is below these thresholds, you may still want to file. You could receive a refund of any Iowa income tax withheld on your W-2. Iowa also offers an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child and Dependent Care Credit, and other refundable credits.

Read the Who Must File section of the IA 1040 instructions booklet to help determine if you should file an Iowa state income tax return for tax year 2024.
