Iowa Form IA 1040 (2025)

Your 2025 federal return, carried into Iowa as a full-year resident. Every figure is computed in your browser from the return you have already entered, and anything this engine cannot yet figure says so at the line rather than printing a number that would be wrong.

Surtax
Surtax: not figured
Your Iowa school district charges its own surtax on this same return, as a percentage of your Iowa tax — nothing in some districts and about a fifth in others — and this calculator does not know which district you lived in, so it will not show an Iowa total.

Total tax
Total tax: not figured
Your Iowa total is not shown because it would be missing the school district surtax, which is charged on this same return and can add a fifth to what Iowa asks. The state portion is shown on its own line.

This engine does not yet figure Iowa’s withholding, estimated payments or settlement. Form IA 1040 has those lines; they are missing from this page, not from the form.
