How Iowa taxes your paycheck
- Flat tax: Iowa completed its move to a single income tax rate of 3.8%, down from a top rate of 8.53% in 2018.
- Federal starting point: Iowa taxable income follows federal taxable income, so the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married in 2026) applies.
- School district surtax: most school districts add a surtax of a few percent of your Iowa tax (not of your income); it is settled on your tax return.
- Retirement income is fully exempt from Iowa income tax.
