HF 1030 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act exempting qualified tips from the individual income tax, and including applicability provisions.

HF 1030 proposes to exempt certain cash tips from the individual income tax for qualifying Iowans. Individuals whose net income is less than $155,000 could subtract up to $25,000 in "qualified tips" from their taxable income. "Qualified tips" are defined as cash tips received in occupations that traditionally and customarily received cash tips before December 31, 2023. This exemption would apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, unless the federal government enacts similar legislation.
