Helpful Hints On State Income Tax
The Iowa income tax is imposed on all residents as to income derived from any and all sources and on nonresidents as to income derived from sources within this state and taxable by the state. The act directs that the tax shall be levied, collected and paid annually at rates as follows. On first $1,000 of taxable income or any part thereof, 1 per cent. On second $1,000 or any part thereof, 2 per cent. On third $1,000 or any part thereof, 3 per cent. On fourth $1,000 or any part thereof, 4 per cent. On all taxable income in excess of $4,000, 5 per cent. The above taxable income, where it exists, takes no account of exemptions, for the reason that personal exemptions are stated in dollars of tax rather than dollars of income. Where a personal income tax is required by law, taxable income thereon starts at the beginning and not after a certain amount of income has been exempted. The tax will be computed separately on each $1,000 and on the final portion which is less than $1,000. Total of these computations will be the amount of income tax due and payable, less personal exemption, credit for dependents and dividend credit. For example. A married taxpayer with one dependent other than his wife and a net income of $1,755 75 would compute his tax as follows. Tax on the first $1,000 at 1 per cent, $10.00. Tax on the next $755.25 at 2 per cent, $1511. Total $2511. Less: Personal exemption, $20 00, Credit, one dependent, $5.00. Income tax due, payable, Lic,
