Iowa official proposes ending federal tax deductions to raise Iowa revenue
Iowa Revenue Director William Forst told the Legislative Tax Study Committee that eliminating federal tax deductions for people earning more than 30 000 dollars would raise about the same as the 40 million tied to removing the personal property tax. He said the plan would shift tax burden toward higher earners while easing rates for low income groups. Forst suggested either a high end incline or keeping the current scale if deductions are removed. Sen Charlene Conklin voiced concerns about selling such a revision to the public.
