Iowa House approves broad income tax reform measure
The Iowa House backed a Democratic driven tax reform bill 61 to 37 sending it to the Senate. It sets a 20 percent of federal tax rate for most filers and introduces a minimum and maximum tax, with implications for married couples filing jointly and single filers, while opponents warn of impacts on the elderly and single filers. The measure targets progressivity and shifts in middle income brackets, with anticipated near current total state revenue.
