A. Enter the amount of additional Federal income tax
paid during 2005 for tax year 2004 and any other years before 2004. The
amount of additional Federal income tax paid is deductible only if Iowa
income tax returns were required to be filed for the year for which the
additional Federal income tax was paid. Include only the actual Federal
tax payments made in 2005, but DO NOT include penalties and interest.
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 2004
Federal 1040 may affect line 33 of the 2005 Iowa return.

is deductible on the 2005 Iowa return.

B. FICA payments in excess of $5,580.00
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.
