Nonresidents, see items f. and g.

In meeting the filing requirements below, you must add

back the pension exclusion (line 21, IA 1040), the Social

Security phase-out amount from line 12 of the Iowa

Social Security worksheet, any amount of lump sum

distribution separately taxed on federal form 4972 and

any net operating loss carryover.

Note to married couples: Incomes of both spouses must

be included when determining who must file.

a. You had a net income (line 26 of the IA1040) of more

than $9,000 and your filing status is single. ($18,000

if 65 or older on 12/31/08)

b. You had a net income (line 26 of the IA1040) of more

than $13,500 and your filing status is other than

single. ($24,000 if your or your spouse is 65 or older

on 12/31/08)

c. You were claimed as a dependent on another person's

Iowa return and had a net income (line 26 of the

IA1040; line 4 of the IA 1040A) of $5,000 or more.

net income from Iowa sources (line 26 of the IA126

(pdf) was $1,000 or more. In the case of married

nonresidents, the spouses' combined income is used

to determine if their income is high enough to require

them to file an Iowa return. To understand "Iowasource

income," see the instructions for lines 1-26 of

the IA 126.

It depends on the type of imputed income.

If it is imputed interest, enter it where all other interest payments go (schedule B).

If it is imputed life insurance income from your employer, that should already be included in box 1 of your W-2 and you should enter it on line 7 of your W-2.

You enter it wherever non-imputed income of the same nature would go.

The 1040A form is a shorter and more simple version of the IRS 1040 tax form. A taxpayer can use the 1040A form if his total income is less than $100,000. In addition, the 1040A form limits sources of income to wages, interest, dividends, and capital gains.

Form 1099-MISC is Miscellaneous Income. A person or business is required to file Form 1099-MISC for each person to whom they paid at least $600.00 in services, rents, etc. The recipient generally enters the information from Form 1099-MISC onto Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) or Schedule C-EZ (Net Profit from Business). The recipient is required to file Schedule SE (Self-Employment Tax) when net earnings (income less expenses) are at least $400.00.

Generally, your federal income tax return is due by April 15. If April 15 falls on a weekend, then the deadline is extended to the next business day. If you mail your return after the due date, the IRS will probably charge interest and penalties for late filing.
