Can the vehicle registration fee be deducted on my non-resident Iowa state return when the fees were paid in MN?

We live/work in MN and have income from Iowa so we need to file in both states.

Iowa does not mention if it matters what state the vehicle registration was paid in. They do have some guidelines you might wan to look at on page 51:

If you have other questions about this, ask in the comment section below.

I have this same question. Link you provided does not seem to be available. Any further clarification on this?

According to their website, you are allowed as a nonresident, itemized deductions or standard deduction on the same basis as if you were a resident.

A nonresident or part-year resident of Iowa must complete the IA 1040 reporting the individual’s total income, including income earned outside Iowa. The taxpayer is allowed adjustments to income, a federal tax deduction, and standard or itemized deductions on the same basis as if the taxpayer were a resident of Iowa.
