TAX REDUCING INCOME TO LESS THAN
$9,000
FOR TAXPAYERS USING FILING STATUS 1, SINGLE:
Taxpayers using filing status 1 are not eligible to use the alternate tax computation. However, a single taxpayer who is not claimed as a dependent on another person’s Iowa return cannot have a tax figure on line 51 of the IA1040 that would reduce the combination of net income from line 26 and pension exclusion from line 21 of the IA1040 to less than $9,000. If subtracting line 51 from the total of lines 21 and 26 results in a difference of less than $9,000, the entry on line 51 must be reduced as calculated on the worksheet below.
