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.

I noticed that too. I added another adjustment to the Iowa return called "Other federal adjustment from Schedule 1" and added back the $300 from the Federal return. In the end the net is the additional $200 that Iowa allows.
Not sure it's the right thing to do, but it adds up.
