Iowa Admin. Code r. 701-403.5
The amount of federal income tax related to the items of income, losses, and expenses from an S corporation is to be computed by dividing the sum of the items of income, losses, and expenses by federal adjusted gross income, and the result multiplied by the sum of the federal income tax and the federal alternative minimum tax. This resulting tax figure is to be reduced by the nonrefundable federal tax credits relating to the S corporation income which are a reduction in tax rather than a payment of tax. Credits that are deemed to be a payment of tax include, but are not limited to, backup withholding on interest, dividends and other types of income, and credit for motor vehicle fuel taxes.
For tax periods beginning prior to January 1, 2002, the distribution received from the S corporation is reduced by 50 percent of the federal tax paid by the shareholder on the S corporation income. For tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the distribution received from the S corporation is reduced by 100 percent of the federal tax paid by the shareholder on the S corporation income.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 422.8, subsection 2, as amended by 2002 Iowa Acts, House File 2078.
