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

HF 361 exempts cash tips reported to employers via IRS Form 6053(a) from Iowa's individual income tax. It directly affects workers who receive cash tips (such as servers or bartenders) by reducing their taxable income for state tax purposes. The bill adds a provision allowing taxpayers to subtract these reported cash tips when calculating their Iowa tax liability. This change applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
