State Agrees to Swap Tax Information With IRS
In 1987 the IRS expanded state cooperation on tax data exchange, formalizing terms with Minnesota and proposing a similar Iowa agreement between Governor Norman Erbe and the IRS. The program aims to cross-check federal and state returns, with states gaining access to federal records and the IRS able to request state data. Several states already signed pilots since 1950, shifting toward mutuality and tailored agreements. The article also notes university board actions on freshman grade standards and a brief on acreage forecasts for corn production.
