Iowa tax details
- Iowa taxable income starts from federal taxable income and Iowa generally follows federal changes (IDR, Nov 2025), so the federal 2026 standard deduction is used.
- Exemption credit $40 per taxpayer/spouse/dependent.
- IDR's 2026 withholding formula subtracts $13,000 / $19,500 / $26,000; that is a withholding approximation, not the tax computation.
- Local taxes: Many school districts levy an income surtax computed as a percentage of Iowa tax liability (2025 list: 0% to 18%), so not a wage rate. Tax Foundation average effective local rate: 0.08% of AGI.
