These are great instructions on how to claim an Iowa STO credit. However, that isn't my question. If I give $1,000 in appreciated stock to an IA SO, I get a $750 IA credit and can take a $250 Fed charitable deduction. While the $250 is a valid Fed deduction, I can't take that $250 as an IA deduction. So I am asking how do I reduce my IA non-cash, charitable deductions by $250? The software pulls the fed deductions forward to IA return. I need a place to reduce them to the legal amount.

You need to add the $250 back into your income. You can add it as a nonconformity adjustment to federal income. Follow these steps:

 

1. Go back to your Iowa return 
2. Go until you reach You've finished your Iowa Return
3. Select Income update/revisit/edit
4. Select the Iowa Nonconformity Adjustment, continue
5. Any of these? Select No
6. Continue
7. Enter description and amount
8. Continue
