New Income Tax Bill Advances in Iowa House
A bill to raise income tax exemptions in lower brackets was introduced in the Iowa House. The proposal would boost individual deductions from 10 to 15 dollars and married deductions from 20 to 30, with dependents and dependent-child deductions also increased. The measure, filed by Reps. Donohue Hicklin and Van Eaton, would permit a 400 dollar deduction for dependents by parents or grandparents, up from 300. Separately, about 6,000 Iowans due full-rate refunds from a 1946 bill will receive automatic refunds within a month once the 50 percent bill becomes law, pending Gov. Blue's signature.
