What’s in it

This bill relates to decoupling for Iowa tax purposes with federal additional first-year depreciation changes under section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (bonus depreciation). BACKGROUND. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), in part, made substantial changes to bonus depreciation by increasing the deduction amount from percent of qualified property to 100 percent of qualified property. Beginning with property placed in service after December 31, 2022, the federal bonus depreciation deduction amount begins to phase down by percent per year until property placed in service after December 31, 2026, is no longer eligible for bonus depreciation.

Read the full explanation

BILL CHANGES. Under current law, Iowa completely coupled with federal tax law for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The bill decouples Iowa for purposes of federal bonus depreciation, and permits a taxpayer for Iowa individual and corporate income tax purposes to continue to utilize bonus depreciation by allowing a taxpayer to deduct 100 percent of qualified property placed in service after December 31, 2022. By decoupling from federal bonus depreciation, the bill also preserves any other changes made to federal bonus depreciation under the TCJA for Iowa tax purposes including expanding the types of property that are considered “qualified property”. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

Fiscal note

The change in the Bill to the amount of depreciation allowed in the year an asset is placed in service is projected to reduce individual income, corporate income, and bank franchise taxes owed to the State and, therefore, reduce State General Fund revenue.
