How Iowa taxes your paycheck
Iowa taxes wages at a flat 3.8%. Your employer withholds it from every check based on your IA W-4.
For 2026 the standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly.
When a bonus or commission is paid separately from regular wages, your employer may withhold Iowa tax on it at the flat supplemental rate of 3.8%.
Some Iowa cities or counties add a local income tax: Iowa school district income surtax (and EMS local option surtax in some counties).
Iowa has reciprocal agreements with IL: if you live in one of those states and work in Iowa, you can ask your employer to withhold only your home state's tax.
