SF 2492 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act creating a state corporate income tax deduction for net controlled foreign corporation tested income, and including retroactive applicability provisions.

This Iowa bill updates the state corporate income tax code to allow a deduction for net controlled foreign corporation tested income, replacing a previous reference to the now-repealed global intangible low-taxed income. The change directly affects Iowa businesses with foreign income by ensuring they can still claim a tax break for this specific category of earnings despite recent federal tax law updates. By removing the outdated terminology and keeping the deduction mechanism active, the legislation maintains the state's alignment with current federal tax definitions. The law applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
