* Iowa taxpayers who received Social Security benefits in 2001 and claimed bonus depreciation on their Federal returns for property purchased in 2001 on or after September 11 may have to recompute their taxable benefits on the worksheet. However, individuals who have already computed taxable Social Security benefits for their 2001 Iowa returns do not have to recompute the taxable benefits if the taxable benefits on line 11 of the worksheet is equal to the amount on line 2 of the worksheet so that 50 percent of the benefits is subject to Iowa income tax and reported on line 13 of the IA1040 for 2001.
Those who need to recompute the taxable Social Security benefits should add the bonus depreciation adjustment from line 5 of Schedule IA 4562A to the other amounts shown on line 3 of the Social Security worksheet form the Federal return and the RRB 1099. The rest of the form is then completed with the amounts normally used to complete the worksheet from the Federal 1040 or 1040A.
Include the following incomes or adjustments
to income on line 3 if applicable.
(These were excluded from Federal AGI.):
- foreign-earned income
- income excluded by residents of Puerto Rico American Samoa
- proceeds from Savings Bonds used for higher education and
- employer-provided adoption benefits.
Although Railroad Retirement benefits are not taxable, one-half of the benefits received must be used to determine the amount of Social Security benefits that are taxable to Iowa. For purposes of determining taxable Social Security benefits, you must also include interest from Federal securities.
