Iowa Out-of-State Credit

The Iowa Out-of-State Credit allows Iowa residents who are also residents of another state to claim a credit for taxes paid to that other state. This credit helps prevent double taxation on income earned in another state while residing in Iowa.

How to Claim the Iowa Out-of-State Credit

  • Access your Iowa state tax return in the OLT (Online Taxes) software.
  • From the left menu (or tap the three dots in the top-right corner on mobile), click on State.
  • Select Start or Revisit Iowa state.
  • Under the Credits section, choose IA 130 - Iowa Out-of-state Credit Computation.
  • Click Save & Continue Return and follow the on-screen instructions.

Important Notes

  • The credit is based on income tax paid to another state during the tax year.
  • Nonresidents, part-year residents, and those claiming an Out-of-State Tax Credit should refer to the IA 1040 expanded instructions for guidance.
  • Do not annualize any credit amount, but you must annualize any income or deduction used to compute the credit.
