A. Enter the amount of additional
Federal income tax paid during 2003 for tax year 2002 and any other years
before 2002.
Include only the actual Federal tax payments
made in 2003.
DO NOT include
- penalties
- interest
- excise tax on early withdrawal of qualified
plans
REFUNDABLE CREDITS on the Federal
1040 may be included on
IA 1040, line 33, to the extent Federal income
tax was paid with the Federal refundable credits, such as:
- earned income credit
- additional child tax credit
- others
Any refundable Federal credits that reduce
Federal income tax liability are allowed as a Federal tax deduction
— up
to the amount of the Federal tax paid by the refundable credits — on
the Iowa return.
In determining the order of applying
the refundable Federal tax credits, the Federal Earned Income Credit
(EIC) should be applied first, followed by the additional child tax
credit,
and
then any other refundable Federal credits.
EXAMPLE:
The following example illustrates
how a refundable Federal Earned Income Credit (EIC) on a timely-filed
2002 Federal 1040 may affect line 33 of the 2003 Iowa return.
| FIRST: FEDERAL
TAX LIABILITY FOR TAX YEAR 2002 |
|
| Taxpayer's
Federal Tax Liability for Tax Year 2002: |
$
2,000
|
| Subtract Taxpayer's
Federal Withholding: |
— 500
|
| |
|
| Taxpayer's Unpaid
Federal Tax Liability for Tax Year 2002: |
1,500
|
SECOND: APPLY
EIC TO UNPAID FEDERAL INCOME TAX BALANCE |
| Federal EIC Calculated
by Taxpayer for Tax Year 2002: |
$
2,500
|
| Subtract the
$1,500 in Federal Income Tax the Taxpayer Still Owes for Tax Year
2002: |
— 1,500
|
| |
|
| Taxpayer Will
Receive a Federal Refund of EIC: |
$
1,000
|
THIRD: LINE
33 ON IOWA RETURN FOR 2003
|
| 33. Additional
Federal tax paid in 2003 for Tax Year 2002 |
$ 1,500
|
The
$1,500 tax liability paid by EIC for Tax Year 2002
is deductible
on the 2003 Iowa return.
|
B. FICA payments in excess of $5,394
for Social Security tax for each person and Federal fuel tax credit can
be deducted as a Federal tax payment on line 33. Any excess FICA tax and
Federal fuel tax refunded to you must be added back as a Federal tax refund
in the year received. If you are self-employed, any self-employment tax
you pay cannot cause an excess FICA payment.
