Iowa 2025 IA 1040 Is Not Showing Short Year Filer Date

The very top of the Iowa 2025 IA 1040 form (Step 1) has from and to dates for "fiscal or short year filers" only. I'm working on a return where the individual moved out of Iowa in March 2025 (had lived there previous years). Everyplace I'm supposed to enter that info in the TT interviews is correct (both the overall personal info section and the state of Iowa general info section are properly filled in). The worksheet forms also seem to properly reflect the information. However, the generated 2025 IA 1040 form does not show the ending date for residency in Iowa as it should. Both the first and second (to) date are blank. No errors show up when I review the return in TT. This seems like a bug - I think the second (to) date should have the last day of residence in Iowa in it. I also did the Iowa return before moving on to the second state the resident moved to (per all the instructions I can find, you need to do them in that order).

Your taxpayer is not a fiscal or short year filer.

Iowa says,

"Filing Period
If your federal filing period is other than calendar year 2025, enter the beginning and ending dates of your federal fiscal tax year on the line provided above the name and address boxes on the return."

Just moving out of state does not make this a short-year return. It is a part-year return, and there is no need for dates on the Iowa return.
