Election of Composite Filing
Composite returns for the 2009 calendar year must be filed by April 30, 2010. An automatic 6-month extension for filing is available only if 90% of the tax due is paid by the original due date. The Department must be notified in writing before a taxpayer chooses to discontinue filing composite returns.
Filing Requirements
Nonresident partners, shareholders, members, or beneficiaries cannot be included in a composite return if the nonresident does not have more income from Iowa sources than the amount of one standard deduction for a single taxpayer plus an amount of income necessary to create a tax liability at the effective tax rate on the composite return sufficient to offset one personal exemption. See minimum filing requirements below under line 6.
In addition, the above individuals should not be included if they have incomes from Iowa sources other than from the partnership or other entity; these individuals are required to file Iowa individual income tax returns.
Line Instructions
1.Each nonresident partner’s, shareholder’s, or member’s Iowa K-1 will show that partner’s, shareholder’s, or member’s income and nonresident modifications that are apportioned to Iowa. The apportioned amount of each item of Iowa K-1 income that is a part of federal adjusted gross income and the apportioned modifications of all nonresident partners, all nonresident shareholders, and/or all members included in this composite return are to be totaled and entered on this line. Nonresidents with other Iowa-source incomes are not to be included on the
IA 1040C.
Beneficiaries of a trust do not have an Iowa K-1, only a federal K-1. Consequently, when nonresident beneficiaries are included in the filing of a composite return with Iowa, they must total all income and/or capital gain from real property or tangible personal property located in Iowa and any other business income attributable to Iowa and enter on this line.
2.A deduction is allowed in lieu of the deduction for federal tax paid and is based upon the following schedule:
