Final question:
Situation- Iowa return, married filing separate, moved out of state mid-year and have income in two states.
Hung up on the following prompt:
____________________________________________________________________
Iowa Minimum Tax
Based on your entries so far, you have total Iowa minimum tax of zero.
Since you're filed married filing separately on this combined return enter [spouse's name] portion of the Iowa minimum tax items listed on the following screen, if necessary.
Taxes (less any Iowa income tax): [spouse's name] ______________ Total $5131
_______________________________________________________________________
I'm unsure where this total value of $5131 populated from or what to enter in this field. Typically, if splitting any value between us I would just use the ratio of our incomes (spouse's income / (my income + spouse's income) to determine my spouse's portion of the value. On the following screens, none of the Iowa minimum tax questions are applicable to us.
