Question
Has anyone else noticed that the Iowa deduction for educator expenses is not correct if you have less than $500 of educator expenses? The Iowa return starts with federal taxable income which has the educator expenses taken out. Then again on IA SCH 1
Iowa starts with Federal taxable income which is already reduced by the education deduction. Then on schedule sch 1 as an adjustment to federal taxable income the education deduction is taken again. What ever you put in for your federal deduction is doubled on Iowa up to the Iowa $500 limit.
